Environarts Global: “Dancing With The Elephant”


Environarts Global: “Dancing With The Elephant”
Written By: Zephryn Conte, © 9/2/11 
It’s interesting to think of stress as an art, but that proverbial ‘elephant in the living room’ is becoming more and more visible in today’s households and work places. Whether you’re employed, or trying to become employed - and no matter where you may live on the planet - it's evident that today’s work environment and the world in general is changing faster than many of us can keep up with. If you’re blessed enough to not be in the ‘jobless’ category, and you hold a ‘solid position,’ the feeling in the air is still topsy-turvy. 

Today, things just aren’t always what they seem… and we are being invited to look at our illusions and lift the veils between what we have been told or believed was true, in order to redefine our "reality." We are beginning to see how much of what we have “taken to the bank” is not as dependable as we were led to believe.

So things are stressful… Yet stress can be an "Environ-Art." And with the proverbial ‘elephant in the living room’ looming large, learning how to do an artful “elephant dance” is in high demand, and really ought to be a priority school subject in the 21st century! STRESS is having its way with many, negatively impacting health, exacerbating road rage, intensifying family and classroom troubles, or manifesting unexplained maladies and uncanny accidents.

So let’s apply Environarts - in this 21st century school-without-walls called LIFE – which is the real and perfect stage for learning anything significant. If you can relate to light-hearted shows like “Dancing with the Stars,” or “America’s Favorite Dance Team,” then why not get really creative and come together for our own enlightened life series entitled “Dancing with the Elephant!”

This blog is dedicated to offering ideas, short readable solutions, and music to help you:
·      decrease and manage stress (work with breathing, stabilize heart rate and blood-pressure, calm the mind);
·      manage conflict situations (increase cultural competence and effective communication skills); and
·      activate or increase creativity and productivity;

all of these the critical EQ,* SQ,* and MI* skills needed in today’s changing workplace and global economy. (* will explain each in future blogs!)

I encourage you to write in and begin a conversation, as I introduce “Environ-artsignments” related to the subjects above. Your feedback will inform this conversation and the way subjects are covered. Because I have always coached in person, your feedback will be a key component – so let me know what you’re thinking (or dancing).

Yours in the “E-Dance” (as in Elephant…or Environarts)… Zephryn Conte
