The Process to collaborative wellness

look outside yourself

Changing your focus from a myopically small view of your world to “Something” larger.

look within yourself

Focusing inwardly and determining where you came from, why you are here and where you are going.

Look to others

Willingly connect to others with the desire to “know” them so you can grow together.

look forward

Collaboratively utilizing each other’s strengths and moving forward with purpose.

"look outside Yourself"

Life can seem to have you going in circles and it may appear that things are spinning around you so fast that true focus is impossible. Dancers spin (pirouette) on purpose, but it’s not that easy. If they don’t have the proper technique they get dizzy and may even fall. The proper way for a dancer to pirouette is for the dancer to focus on a point “outside of themselves”…they call it spotting. If they focus on a point “outside of themselves” they can perform a beautiful work of art! We can learn a lot from spotting when we seem to be twirling uncontrollably in life. We must focus outside of ourselves to someone larger than ourselves.  We have to change our focus from the seemingly terrifying situation to someone that can steady us through the situation…we have to SPOT.
