- Respect for our capacities and abilities
- Affirming a positive process - not so much aiming at a goal as taking positive steps to make our intentions real
- Releasing our attachments, being willing to let go of what no longer fits
- and Breathing - stressful times can make our breath shallow and block our sense of presence and intention, so we may need to check in with ourselves and breathe deeply into what we are becoming.
