Naming it, for me, means
- awareness,
- acknowledgment,
- identifying and accepting all feelings,
- speaking one’s truth,
- letting go of judgment, and
- moving on to effective action.
I’m naming it when I acknowledge that I’ve written other posts about naming it in my ten years of blogging (including here and here).
I was naming it earlier this morning when I realized
- I’m nervous about our cat Joan’s apparent eye infection,
- it’s difficult to put drops in a cat’s eyes,
- I don’t like taking the cats to the vet but we’ll be taking them both in soon,
- I am going on a river cruise down the Rhine in three weeks,
- I have to finish my speech for a hospital building dedication ceremony in May when they’ll be naming it after my wonderful cardiologist, Dr. Deeb Salem,
- I wonder whether we’ll get better attendance for a support group I’m facilitating for doctors, nurses, and other treaters at the hospital where I work if we change it from a remote group to a “hybrid” group which combines remote and in-person,
- I’m anxious about facilitating a hybrid group because I’ve never done one before, and
- I would like to reduce my work hours on Fridays, spending more time on music and writing about my Coping and Healing groups for patients.
Naming it always helps me. Do you see naming it in my images for today?
I’m naming it when I say that I’m not working from home on Global Work from Home Day and I’m looking forward to the chocolate chip cookies a group member is bringing to today’s in-person Coping and Healing group.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “naming it.”
I look forward to people naming it in the comments, below.
I’m naming it at the end of each blog post when I express my gratitude to YOU.
