9/14/2018 0 Comments Storyline: GroundingAs I was in a discussion with Jamaica...I got distracted thinking about the photo in relation to reality (flashbacks & integration).Our corporate president, however, called my attention away from the memories (blessup).So I went to his page and loved his grateful share...... noticing that today is his birthday (Thankz mi artists).This grounded me and brought me back to the task-at-hand: developing a lesson.![]() I realize I can acknowledge his stabilizing presence in my life by liking the comment "The man had my attention: body, mind and soul." Although the quote is being taken out of context when I do this, it is now reframed from that moment in Jamaica eight years ago and associated with our corporate president's constructive and commanding presence today. This allows me to focus and realize I have created the material needed to design an illustrated lesson about how we generate our storylines and build something beautiful while being here for each other. In so doing, we keep ourselves moving forward while providing our Facebook friends with a good example of positive and productive online interpersonal behavior. Now, do you see how we create storylines in social media?![]() When the comments are inverted, they read as a testimony of my attention to the reggae minister, Jah Lightning, his gratitude to singers supporting him, blessings to fans and other people who believe in Rastafari, "4eva" = forever, "blessup" = worship, with me donning a scarf before prayer as an endorsement of the behavior. It's similar to the "call-and-response" between a preacher and congregation that can be heard in some churches. SIDELINE STORYLINE* Flashbacks, grounding, and integration are all psychological terms used to explain PTSD symptoms, coping skills, and the healing process. *Disclaimer: This is personal experience, not medical advice.
