Like a jellyfish
What if you could go back to being your 15-year-old self again?
What lessons, life experiences, and ambitions did you have that you can learn from?
Going back in time is used for nostalgic reasons or reflective actions. Mostly when we miss our old life (or are worried of it coming back to bite us) or when we want to send an emotion or advice that we’ve made it and that we didn’t need to be so hard on ourselves. It’s rarely used to seek advice from.
But what if you’re looking back for the sole purpose of learning what to do next? What if your older wisdom knows exactly how to face a similar challenge to the one you’re facing now, albite it looks different on the surface?
This is what the immortal jellyfish does when faced with a stressful environment or physical damage. It reverses its life cycle back to an infant stage, settles at the bottom of the sea, and re-grows cells into a new polyp structure. It survives and lives a new life.
What can we do to be more like that jellyfish? Think of all the unique things your younger self knew that you no longer do (intuition power anyone?)
Excited to share with you the Biomimicry workshop. Next cohort starts October 15. Join with friends to grow your ecosystem and learn from nature, rather than about nature.
