What Makes a Good Feeding?

Definition:

“Feedings” are any activity that “feeds” an aspect of your identity that connects you to the world.

  • Feedings are activities you really want to do because they are personally relevant, interesting, productive, far-sighted, fun, et cetera.

  • Feedings are not additions to your busy day; they are re-directed investments of the time you are already spending.

  • Feedings are you curating the information from the world that you want to internalize and how you choose to go out into the world. Through Feedings, you take charge of who you are.

What makes a good feeding?

  • You come up with your Feedings. That way, if they were flowers, they would be perennials. If we told you what to do, they would be annuals.

  • Through your feedings, you focus on how you see the world. You are not studying the world. You are studying yourself and others first, then you can look at the world with fresh eyes, so to speak.

 

"Seeing with fresh eyes" means seeing familiar things as if you've never seen them before, i.e. with the same sense of newness and discovery that you presumably experienced the first time you experienced them.

  • Your Feedings take you back to how you look at things. Rather than discover that different cultures look a Time differently, you might ask “Am I punctual to a fault?”

  • Your Feedings can be based on any way you experience the world. You can read, watch, listen, meet, play, do, whatever.

  • Different types of Feedings contribute to your global agility training differently. Some feed your Core connections to the world, others feed peripheral aspects of who you are. Some involve other people; others are just Fun.

  • Daily Feedings are where the rubber hits the road during your Global Agility Training Program. On any given day you may do a little or a lot, but persistence is key. So, it is not a question of IF you are going to become more globally agile today but HOW.

  • Feedings should help you be at home in the world, to be “joyfully curious, at ease, engaged, productive, and enriched.”
