30. Our Ever-Changing Capacity
36m · PublishedDo some days feel like you can tackle the world, but other days feel like you’re just creeping by? This week, Kristy draws on lessons from nature to show how our physical, emotional and mental resources relate to our ability to maintain or grow our capacity. We’ll talk about which major and minor life factors can affect our capacity and how they contribute to why our load is always changing. We’ll learn cues to help us know if it’s time to slow down or hit the gas and then brainstorm ways we can rest and replenish so we’re more equipped to carry our loads and stay bright!

CHAPTER MARKERS:

Specific examples of carrying capacity in nature
7:23- 1st- North American Deer- as we make changes to our environment, we need to check our core/ fringe capacities and make sure not to exceed of personal carrying capacity or we can figuratively begin to starve. We need balance.
12:59- 2nd- Grazing Cattle- once we are "overgrazed" it can take a long time for the nutrients to return to the soil. We cannot sustain anything new. We need to give ourselves time and space to heal and replenish.
28:24- 3rd- Barnacles and Oysters- we must make space for the things that need space in our lives, and push other things out in order to support the most important things.
