Connecting with yourself
Connecting with yourself is the key to effectively dealing with all the triggers that you encounter in everyday life -whether these triggers occur at work or at home, whether you experience them as being pleasant or unpleasant.
Maybe your employer gives you so much work to do that you begin to feel stressed and unhappy; or someone says to you, – That is the way I am and you better get used to it… – or a car pulls out in front of you unexpectedly and you brake suddenly.
In all these situations you can choose to connect with yourself in order to transform struggle and stress into harmony and inner peace.
Check in
A Check-In is standing/sitting still in the moment, getting in touch with what is alive in you now and connecting with yourself. The creators of the NVC Check-In app would love to contribute to your connection at times when you want to:
- step out of a vicious circle of recurring thoughts
- clarify why a particular occurrence has such impact on you and what you can do about it
- translate judgements you have about yourself and others into feelings and needs – and experience how liberating this is!
The NVC Check-in app
Using the colours of the NVC Dance Floors and pictures from the Giraffentraum (Giraffe Dream) Project, the NVC Check-In app gradually increases your awareness of what you observe, what feelings you experience, what needs (fulfilled or not fulfilled) are underlying those feelings and what you could do to move on and create something new.
The following buttons guide you. Press (repeatedly) on:
- O for your Observation
- F for your Feelings
- N for your Needs
- R for a Request to oneself or another
At every step you are supported by a list of common observations, feelings, needs and requests.
From this list you can choose from some common Observations, Feelings, Needs and Requests (OFNR, listed in uppercase) by (repeatedly) pressing the buttons, or you can choose from a more expanded list by clicking the selection and scrolling through the small menus.
You can also enter your own words in the empty fields below the OFNR suggestions, using your keyboard.
The sentence you make is updated continually and will be shown on the display.
We really hope that you experience a connection you enjoy while using the app and that the following sentence fulfills your need for inspiration.
Welcome and settle into silence and inner peace, connect with yourself and what brings you here.
Breathe slowly and try to really get in touch with what you feel now and what you need now.
