What Would Neutral Do?

May seem like a funny question.

And so so useful when you are frustrated and angry with someone or something.

.

What would neutral do? is different than asking what would love, peace, compassion, or kindness do?

It isn’t better or worse than those questions-

though your mind may judge it as so.

.

Sometimes it is exactly what is need..

It is a question that can meet you where you,

and allows the other person to be who and where they are,

and the relationship to be where it is.

It is a question that allows spaciousness and deep breaths in the midst of tension and differences.

.

What would neutral do is a question to ask to keep you from stoking the fire.

It helps you show up in a way you can be proud -of or at least neural about -when you look back on the situation.

It keep you from making things worse by showing up in not neutral ways.

What would neutral do helps when you don’t really want to accept reality .

And you see that resisting reality is not serving you.

We don’t always have to fix or change things.

Sometimes space allows them to shift in a way that is better- not how we would like but moving in the right direction.
