Emergence Coach Wendy Sloneker talks about “Zooming out” in this episode. Before you log into that 3rd video chat of the day or “unmute” your mic and camera, just wait. Take a second to take a breath. 

This practice of “Zooming out” is an exercise for your imagination. It’s a way to stay grounded when the feelings of grief or loss get overwhelming, and you’re not quite ready to face a “Zoomful” of people. 

Think of Zooming out as taking a step back in those moments when the feelings are big. Remember: these moments have a before, a during, and an after. Be willing to stay aware while you are overwhelmed or anxious, so you can use the “Zoom out” as a way to take a step back and see the bigger picture. 

Zooming out or taking a step back, big or small, can be a way to gain some perspective and let the path forward make itself a little more clear.
