Meet challenge without being trapped in an outdated strategy of control-conquer-overcome, because frankly? Some challenges don\u2019t go away and when you measure success only by your ability to \u201covercome,\u201d the cost is too high.<\/p>\n

Whether you are facing unexpected or huge, world-tilting challenge, a series of challenges one after another, or a Season of Challenge, you need an updated approach, one that won\u2019t require you to sacrifice yourself on the altar of Success.<\/p>\n

Navigate the uncharted territory \u2013 and the accompanying uncertainty \u2013 that come front and center with change. The rate and scope of change confronting us today show no signs of slowing down, and we can\u2019t keep \u201cmanaging\u201d change the way we have because that way? Is killing us.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re facing intended change, unwanted change or deeply desired but unattainable change, it is essential you are able to tune into your own internal GPS system so that even when the path before you is not clear, you never lose yourself.<\/p>\n

Radically expand your sense of personal agency and agility as you move through the change and challenge that have become constants in modern Life. Choice requires bandwidth, and bandwidth IS capacity.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s the challenge that has you stymied or the change you can\u2019t (yet) see your path through, you\u2019re going to need to grow capacity. Why? Because challenge and change eat bandwidth for breakfast, and the ways we\u2019ve been going about this, the ways Culture has taught us to meet challenge and change Are Not Working.<\/p>\n

What you may not know is that in the 20+ years I\u2019ve been working with the process in my own life and sharing it with others, the work has shown me it is about much more than manifesting.<\/p>\n

Or perhaps I should say: It is about more than manifesting situations and conditions. It is very much about cultivating desired\u00a0 – and oh, so essential \u2013 personal capacities.<\/p>\n

Why is this important?<\/p>\n

As it turns out \u2013 and this may not be a big surprise for you, but it\u2019s something I wrestled with for quite some time \u2013 the human experience is full <\/em><\/strong>of challenges.<\/p>\n

Big ones, little ones. Out-of-the-blue, take-your-breath away challenges. Challenges that go on and on. And on. Recurring and chronic. One after another after another.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Sigh.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I know. Over-statement of the obvious.<\/p>\n

But this has been a really tough piece for me to accept. I actively <\/em><\/strong>fought it for a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You see, like many people, I took on the message from different spiritual teachings that tell us: When we get it right, the pain and struggle will go away. Elevating your consciousness will take you above the petty human reality that is fraught with challenge.<\/em><\/p>\n

And that school of thought? Is crazy-making.<\/p>\n

That message tells us if we\u2019re \u201cdoing it right,\u201d we won\u2019t have challenges.\u00a0 What it does is have us make ourselves wrong when we encounter challenges, especially if we can\u2019t easily (ahem) overcome<\/em><\/strong> the challenge, or control the circumstances surrounding the challenge in an attempt to prevent it from occurring at all!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The truth is, there are some challenges that aren\u2019t going away. That we can\u2019t overcome, or even prevent through our attempts to control. That no amount of wishing, chanting, affirmation or even prayer will erase.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019ve learned in over two decades of working with the Nine Days Process is that, yes, sometimes it helps us eliminate or get past or successfully navigate our way through a challenge.<\/p>\n

But what about when the challenges keep coming, one after another…after another? What about when we live through a series – or even a Season of Challenge?<\/p>\n

When we meet those times that the challenge is simply so big, so shattering, so ongoing, if we\u2019re still living from Culture\u2019s mandate to Conquer All, it sets us up to feel helpless and hopeless. To feel like a failure.<\/p>\n

To lose faith – in ourselves and That Which Is Greater.<\/p>\n

From within that helpless, hopeless space, we experience diminished capacity. Literally. Our ability to create resourcefully goes offline amidst the backdrop of emotional reaction and noise, and an over-stimulated (and exhausted!) nervous system.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very isolating space so we feel disconnected, including from Self.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a really tough place to be.<\/p>\n

But this isolated, disconnected feeling is also something else: A call to build capacity.<\/p>\n

The Nine Days Process, as it turns out, helps us meet challenges from a space of personal agency instead of desperation. That\u2019s capacity.<\/p>\n

The Process helps us reconnect with Self and possibility. This is resilience, which is based in capacity.<\/p>\n

As we regain resilience, confidence and self trust begin to blossom, restoring faith in Self and More.<\/p>\n

THE PROCESS IS LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MY COMING THROUGH A LONG, HARD SEASON OF CHALLENGE, AND DOING SO NOT JUST INTACT, BUT WITH MORE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF CAPACITY THAN EVER BEFORE.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text admin_label=”And that capacity” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Philosopher||||||||” header_font=”Philosopher||||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#b25e19″ header_font_size=”35px”]<\/p>\n

And that capacity \u2013 or I should say: capacities \u2013 include: more faith and trust in myself and my own knowing. More compassion, for myself and others. More ability to remain curious in the face of what feels uncomfortable, to remain present with my own pain without being sidetracked in avoidance and distraction.
<\/em><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,3_5,1_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||”]<\/p>\n

What all of this translates to \u2013 and this is huge \u2013 is:\u00a0 The ability to continue thriving when, frankly? It would have been easier to give up and give in completely. When it would have been logical to get caught in survival mindset as my mortality confronted me in ways surpassing what I ever anticipated.<\/p>\n

In the face of some of the biggest and most painful challenges in my life, did I still have Very Human Moments? Of course I did. And do.<\/p>\n

Was I ungraceful at times? Were my needs higher than usual? You betcha\u2019.<\/p>\n

But \u2013 what shone through the darkness was a solid connection to my own resourcefulness, which meant I have been able to access much needed resources from a place of clear, determined intention not diluted by desperation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0What the process has given me is a clearer line of sight to whatever was needed each step of the way in this journey. And a much deeper faith that resources would be available along the way, an active living of being supported in ways I could not have imagined.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t even mentioned uncertainty yet, it\u2019s impact on the human brain and nervous system, and our ability to thrive while meeting uncertainty – over and over again, day in and day out – as we are during these unusual times:
\n<\/em><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,3_5,1_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||”]<\/p>\n

A pandemic rages across the globe as we face, perhaps more directly than ever before, the need to dismantle and grow beyond cultural systems entrenched in misuse of power.<\/p>\n

We watch and wonder as leaders politicize and, in so doing, trivialize the depth and breadth of challenge so many of us are facing in these times, and the challenges some have faced all of their lives.<\/p>\n

We are uncertain about public health and safety, and the capacity of medical systems to successfully meet this situation, now and going forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are uncertain about where economies are headed and what \u201cnormal\u201d will look like in the coming weeks, months, years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are uncertain about how to resolve societal schisms, rectify social injustice and speak truth to power that does not want to hear<\/strong> OR about how to navigate this unfolding OR about what Life may look like on the other side of current disruptions.<\/p>\n

We live in an age of unprecedented uncertainty, at least for many of us. Add to this the fact that living with uncertainty will not be going away any time soon:\u00a0 Futurist David Houle predicts we will see more change in the years between 2020 and 2037 than ever before in human history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, my friends, Life is telling us this is the Now that demands greater capacity, broader resilience and a deeper, actively-lived personal peace than ever before. We need all of the bandwidth we currently hold in our Beings and our Biology — and we need to build on that to carry us forward. The luxury of status quo? Is over.<\/p>\n
