两周前,我的创作源泉突然干涸了。身体和心灵都在抗拒坐到麦克风前。我没有逼自己,而是选择了停下来,去听音乐会、去看电影、去感受世界。两周后,创作的热情自然回来了。这段经历让我重新理解了:滋养自己,从来不是浪费时间。

我们常常在不断地输出中耗尽自己,却忘了,创作和成长都需要先有输入的养分。

这一集,我想分享三个带给我深刻反思的关键词:看见、连接、平静。

1. 看见:每个人身后都有一个故事

在两场专门为男性做的家庭系统排列工作坊里,我看见很多外表强大的男性在安全的场域里流露了自己的脆弱,终于流出了久违的眼泪。

那一刻我深深感受到,无论外表多么坚强,每个人内心都渴望被看见、被听见、被接纳。当我们愿意看见一个人身后的家庭系统和成长经历,很多愤怒和退缩背后的孤独与渴望,就会被理解。

2. 连接:创造属于你们的陪伴方式

过去两个月,我和丈夫一起看了近20场电影。这个小小的尝试,变成了我们之间一种全新的连接方式。它逼着我停下来,把时间留给彼此。看电影不再是看电影,而是一起进入故事、一起被触动、一起交流感受的时光。重要的不是活动本身,而是我们愿意有意识地为关系腾出时间。

3. 平静:在焦虑中找到回归自己的路

暑假里,孩子长时间使用电子设备很容易触发父母的焦虑。但一个更平静的父母,才能更好地陪伴孩子。每一个和当下连接的正念时刻,都可以帮助我们暂时从焦虑和担心里走出来。平静不是逃避,而是给自己一个空间,去重新感受内心那片宁静的净土。

如果你也在暑假里感到焦虑、疲惫,或者在忙碌中忘记了给自己留一点空间,不妨轻轻问自己:

“这个夏天,我想怎样更靠近那个梦想中的自己?”

愿你,找到属于自己的那份内心平静。
愿我们,在连接中感受爱,在平静中回归自己。


Two weeks ago, my creative well suddenly ran dry. My body and heart resisted sitting down in front of the microphone. I did not force myself. Instead, I chose to pause, to go to concerts, watch films, and feel the world again. Two weeks later, the desire to create returned naturally. This experience helped me understand once again: nourishing ourselves is never a waste of time.

We often exhaust ourselves by constantly giving, producing, and creating, while forgetting that both creativity and growth first need nourishment and input.

In this episode, I want to share three keywords that have brought me deep reflection: seeing, connection, and inner peace.

  1. Seeing: Behind every person, there is a story.

During two family constellation workshops created especially for men, I saw many men who looked strong on the outside safely reveal their vulnerability and finally let long-held tears flow. In that moment, I deeply felt that no matter how strong someone may appear, every person longs to be seen, heard, and accepted. When we are willing to see the family system and life experiences behind a person, we may begin to understand the loneliness and longing hidden behind anger, withdrawal, or silence.

  1. Connection: Create your own way of being together.

Over the past two months, my husband and I have watched nearly 20 films together. This small experiment became a completely new way for us to connect. It forced me to stop and make time for each other. Watching a film was no longer just watching a film. It became time to enter a story together, be moved together, and share our feelings afterward. What matters is not the activity itself, but our willingness to consciously make space for the relationship.

  1. Inner peace: Finding your way back to yourself in the midst of anxiety.

During the summer holidays, children spending long hours on screens can easily trigger parents’ anxiety. But a calmer parent is better able to accompany their child. Every mindful moment of connecting with the present can help us step out of anxiety and worry, even if only briefly. Inner peace is not avoidance. It is giving ourselves space to reconnect with that quiet, pure place within.

If you also feel anxious or tired this summer, or if you have forgotten to leave a little space for yourself in the midst of busyness, gently ask yourself:

“How do I want to move closer to the self of my dreams this summer?”

May you find your own inner peace.
May we feel love through connection, and return to ourselves through stillness.
