Reflect
Take a moment to reflect on the last day or so. Call to mind the micro-moments, and interactions in which you felt you showed up with integrity, and those micro-moments in which you feel you did not.
Make a list
Jot both lists of micro-moments down in your journal adding as much or little details as it feels helpful. Sometimes brevity is sufficient.
Feel into integrity
Evoke one moment within which you felt in integrity. Close your eyes and feel into the body while bringing calling forth that memory. Remember this felt sense, feeling into integrity. Knowing integrity in the body. Be here for as long as it takes to feel an embodied sense of integrity.
Feel into the absence of integrity
Call to mind one moment that you felt out of integrity and feel it in the body. Be here fore as long as it takes to know this embodied experience.
Reflect
Contemplating Brene’s 7 elements of trust, consider and journal about why you might not have felt in integrity. As you do this, do your best to release judgment and guilt by inviting judging thoughts to relax.
Re-Remember
To get right with yourself, override that misalignment by envisioning how you could have shown up with more integrity. Pay attention to your aspired response rather than thoughts of self-criticism or self-judgment— let those go. Bring again to mind those moments where you lost self-trust, and then visualize what acting in integrity would have looked like and felt like. Feel into the body.
Contemplating lightly, “responding in perfect alignment with my spirit and my values would look like this.”
Written reflection
Is there right action that must be taken? Or was coming clean with myself sufficient?
