Valorie Burton's Blog, page 11

I searched for something helpful to write you a few weeks ago after the video emerged of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery being hunted down and murdered while jogging. But I was so sad and angry about it, I could not articulate anything helpful to say. So I didn’t say anything at all.

When the video surfaced last week of George Floyd’s heinous murder on the same day Amy Cooper called the police on an African-American birdwatcher who asked her to follow the rules in Central Park and leash her dog, I knew I had to find the words and the message. I prayed hard about it because it’s important to me to not just speak from emotion, but from a place of helpfulness and inspiration.

A few days ago, I offered emotional support and perspective for those of us who feel emotionally drained by racial injustice and made a request of those who are white and want to be allies who speak up and demand that enough is enough. I’ll share a few of the ideas here because I think you’ll find them helpful, but the video captures my heart and the full message. You might even want to share it with anyone you know who’s struggled with the racial stress.

From a personal growth perspective, I have said many times that the first step to getting unstuck is telling yourself the truth. As a nation, dealing honestly with the truth is what will eventually set us free. While the truth has often been denied or flat-out rejected, today, the truth often comes in the form of a smartphone. Video doesn’t lie. As Will Smith famously said, “Racism isn’t getting worse, it’s just getting filmed.”

How we deal with the truth at this point in our history will determine whether we can, as a country, move forward and live up to the ideals we so proudly proclaim, that we are a nation of liberty and justice for all.

So how can you deal with the turmoil on a personal level?

If you’re feeling emotionally drained:

1. Let yourself feel what you feel, but respond rather than react.

Whether you are feeling angry, sad, tired, or a combination of them all, give yourself permission to feel what you feel. If you need to take a break, or you find yourself unable to focus, know that that that is normal. Give yourself time to process so you can respond rather than react emotionally to news and updates.

2. Find an emotionally safe space to express your emotions.

Who is your safe space? Do you need to gather a group of like-minded friends just to talk and process? Not everyone is safe. Arguing on social media and expressing yourself to those who can’t offer the support you need will make matters worse.

3. Decide what you will do to make a positive difference.

Taking action is therapeutic. Whether contacting lawmakers, supporting organizations that are fighting for justice, giving to the legal funds of victims’ families, or having honest racial conversations in your own circle of influence, do something that makes a positive difference.

If you’re white and want to be an ally who demands that enough is enough:

You can’t change what’s happened in the past. But you can change what you do now and be a part of the change that’s desperately needed. You can own your part in the healing. And so many more of you are. I see a shift happening with more people speaking up and it is powerful. Here are a few ways:

1. Commit to learning more.

Read books, watch documentaries, and seek opportunities to learn the truth of our nation’s history because much of what we learned in school is woefully insufficient to understand the racial dynamics of our country. I list a few resources to get you started at the end of this message.

2. Practice racial empathy.

I have had white friends ask how they can help. My response is that I don’t really need you to help me, I just need you to hear me. Walking around black in America is a different experience than walking around white. I wish it weren’t but it is. And for many who are white, I know that truth can bring up feelings of shame or guilt that you want to push away. But the challenges we face today are so much bigger than individual feelings. So have the courage to hear someone else’s experience or even imagine it honestly. Racial empathy is a powerful force for honest conversations and healing.

3. Speak up, show up.

Just acknowledging the events that are going on and saying it’s not acceptable is meaningful to the people of color in your life. Silence feels like indifference at best, and complicity at worst. Don’t worry about saying it perfectly. Reach out to your friends. Check on them. Tell them you care. We appreciate it.

If you’re African-American and your white friends or family speak up, tell them you appreciate it. Encourage them because they also face backlash sometimes when they speak up. Your “thank you” can be just what they need to have more courage and confidence to have honest conversations about race. If we can empathize with one another, we can make some real progress.

Coach Yourself:

Looking back years from now, how will you wish you’d shown up during this time in our history?

Who or where is your emotionally safe space to talk about your feelings and experience of race in America?

Can you believe we’re about to wrap up another decade?!? When that thought crossed my mind the other day, I just had to pause and reflect. This decade started at a low point for me, and it’s ending at a time when I am more fulfilled than I have ever been. And a big part of the reason is that I wrote a joyful vision for the future and started intentionally planning my life to trigger more happiness.

And that’s what the latest episode of my podcast is all about. In it, I teach you how to plan your year in a way that will naturally trigger more fulfillment and authentic joy. In this solo. edition of the show, it’s just you and me as I coach you with practical tools that will leave you wiser, happier and more focused as you close out this decade and get ready for a new one! With some imagination and simple planning, you can create a 2020 vision for your happiest year yet. I’ll teach you how using life-changing advice from my forthcoming book, Life-Coaching for Successful Women.

Many of you know that more than a decade ago after I’d been writing books for several years and coaching, I went back to graduate school a second time to study Applied Positive Psychology. I met one of our 1st two guests during the admissions process when he conducted my phone interview. His recommendation led me to be accepted to the University of Pennsylvania, and he became one of my professors. During that year, I spent more than 250 hours of class time soaking up knowledge alongside 40 classmates. And one of them, whom I sat next to for many of those hours, is our other guest.

I met James and Suzie that year, but more importantly, that’s when the two of them met each other. After Suzie graduated, she and James connected personally, and today they are happily married. They recently co-authored the book, Happy Together: Using the 카지노싸이트 of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts.

In this episode of Positively Psyched we hear from a gifted writer, speaker and worship leader, Chrystal Evans Hurst.  The eldest child of Dr. Tony and Lois Evans of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas.

Chrystal has been pivotal in leading the women’s ministry and instrumental in encouraging women toward a deeper relationship with God.  In her latest book, “She’s Still There”, Chrystal shares with us important information around finding the “Girl” that used to dream and getting your life back on track.

She is authentically transparent about her own life and what it feels like to not meet our expectations.  Listen in to hear about key strategies for finding your peace and living a truly fulfilled life.

In this episode of Positively Psyched, we learn that the new normal is not necessarily natural.

It appears that we are getting less and less rest. We have been known to devalue rest for the sake of staying up late to binge watch our favorite shows, knowing we have to get up early for work or to get the kids off to school the following morning. Too often rest becomes an afterthought and we simply don’t get enough of it.

Today’s guest, Dr. Alex Pang, is the author of Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less.  I was first introduced to him through Calm, one of my favorite apps.  In our conversation, we discuss the importance of taking rest seriously and recognizing when we need to get more. Rest empowers us to be more successful, more proficient and ultimately it enables us to get more done.

Do you ever find yourself avoiding certain people or certain conversations? Maybe you want to speak up, but find yourself unable to? Maybe you even walk on eggshells around certain people and you just don’t say the things that need to be said?

Being a seasoned coach, I believe so much that direct communication is important. As a matter of fact, “Direct Communication” is in the first module that we teach at the Coach Training Intensive.

LaFern Batie is an author, business coach, leadership consultant, and faculty member at The CaPP Institute. She joins me for a conversation on direct communication and how to stop tip-toeing around issues. She’ll share how to say hard things with a soft touch, set boundaries, and improve the way we communicate.

How to Stop Tip-Toeing Around Issues

Do you ever find yourself avoiding certain people or certain conversations? Maybe you want to speak up, but find yourself unable to? Maybe you even walk on eggshells around certain people and you just don’t say the things that need to be said?

Being a seasoned coach, I believe so much that direct communication is important. As a matter of fact, “Direct Communication” is in the first module that we teach at the Coach Training Intensive.

LaFern Batie is an author, business coach, leadership consultant, and faculty member at The CaPP Institute.
