Being Environment: The Tackling Exercise and Mental Health

2024-01-21 04:11:00

In my book “My Environment and I”, I mention the tackling exercise.

In it I do not talk about water and air pollution, but about each of us as an environment.

I am environment, you are environment, we, you and they are environment. We are nature. We are affected by what happens around us, at the same time we affect others. We do not know the positive or negative impact of our actions. Be it gestures, words or silences. It can reach unexpected places, just like a summer breeze or a gale.

As we are nature, we have cycles. We tend not to register them or we deny them.

The cycles of trees, for example, clearly show this movement. They lose their leaves in autumn and winter, they protect and feed themselves with the earth and show their fruits and strength in spring and summer.

They are not constantly showing off their beauty nor do they constantly bear fruit. Waiting is essential.

Being nature, I confess that it is difficult for me to respect those times. My anxious humanity asks me for more and more. But one day he arrived at the tackle.

You will say… How do you jump from the tree to tackle? Smiling, I tell you…Let me explain.

I found that organizing the tackle is an exercise where I can meet my natureor at least, with certain rhythms of it.

When I start it is surely out of necessity. Change of season, travel or many days of intense work that left my clothes in disarray. That’s my first sign. How is my closet? If it’s messy, probably me too.

As the season changes I look at the clothes. Those that I still like, those that need repair, those that I want, but I no longer use and I can’t think of getting rid of, and those that I would like to get rid of, but I can’t. Something prevents me. The ones I want to give to someone special, the inherited ones, etc.

This internal exercise transports me to my ties. What relationship am I having with each of them?

The links are our family and each of its members, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, our partner and our work. So are our pets and everything with which we exchange a situation.

In the book I also share some questions: Do I choose each link? Why do I hold it? Do I accept and note that there are modifications? Would you like to leave it? How could I improve it? Should I review it? We can ask ourselves so many questions about each link…

If we dare to ask ourselves and give internal, natural space, so that If the answer arises from the soul and we can stop our antennas to listen to ourselves, we will be closer to mental health.

Take charge that we choose different types of links or that we maintain it in a type of relationship It is to feel like protagonists of our lives.

Say: ““What do you want me to do if…he doesn’t want to or doesn’t let me?” It is probably to remain in a position of victim or childishness.

Being an adult implies, among other things, organize the locker alone.

As we say from the foundation: “WE ARE ALL ENVIRONMENT” LET’S TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES.
