The story of David standing up to the giant Goliath unfolded 3000 years ago.

It has been a story of the under-equipped and poorly outfitted against the powerful and heavily armoured who are committed to their rules and systems.

We see this story played out over and over in our society.

Almost daily, we come up against a Goliath, which looks like any of several institutions or organizations in our everyday lives. 

It might look like a bank, an airline, the government, or the health care system.

At least they look like they are powerful and robust with their systems of organization that control us to interact with them.

You most likely know the stress created when your flight is delayed, or you encounter an organization that does not seem to hear or understand your needs.

We are social beings. We need connection, love, attending to, and a sense we are meaningful to someone to feel that our relationships matter.

The relational aspect of living today has been put aside in favor of an emphasis on the transaction.

Who you are and what you need from them don’t seem important anymore.

We have two choices, as I see it.

We can be victims and act like there is nothing we can do or embrace our power and well-being.

The chances of hitting a big organization between the eyes like David did Goliath might seem far-fetched.

At the same time, we must not give up our sense of self to create the life we wish to live.

It is crucial to reduce our stress in times of conflict or upset.

Within yourself, a power center is available to control how you feel and choose to act.

I want to share two effective techniques to enhance your well-being during stressful times. The first is called the art of savouring. The second is the breathing technique.

Savouring is described as the mindful appreciation of positive experiences.

Step back and take a break from the adversary. 

Then, spend some time savouring a pleasant experience you have had. This has the effect of slowing you down internally, which provides the opportunity for a clearer perspective.

The second skill to learn is mindful breathing. It would be best to stop, let your body quiet, and slowly breathe in and out several times. 

Never let the reality of the transactional system allow you to lose the critical sense of who you are.
