Yeah.

In the phases of what I've seen us navigate through, particularly in the context of our relationship to work, when we're in the beginning stage of negotiation, I like to call it AKA navigation, we're kind of coming to the table on somebody else's terms.

And we're really trying to sort through how we can succeed or figure out how we can advance within the context of someone else's standard.

And how do we do it with the least amount of risk?

Right.

And these are the places where we're doing a lot of trading, you know, and some trades are small and some trades are bigger, you know, whether it's a trading of our time or energy or whether it's a trading of the way we part our hair or the way we pronounce our name.

I mean, you know, we could go on and on and on.

So these trades, we're making them all the time.

And so the negotiation stage is the navigation.

The resignation stage is where we sort of either give up

Like this is the way it is.

Or we say peace out, no more.

And I think that that's the peace out side is sort of the stage of awakening.

And then the renegotiation stage is where we start to really consider what is important to us, what is necessary for us as we start to look at what it is that we really want and what it is that really matters.

And we start to look at the contribution that we really want to make to our families, to ourselves, to our communities, to the organizations and infrastructures that we contribute to on a day-to-day.

Yeah, so in the renegotiation process, there are three stages that I say we move through.

The first is reclamation, right, and reclaiming.

And that has everything to do with the stories.

What are the stories that I've inherited?

What are the stories that I've adopted or created myself?
