This seems perfect, having April 1st land on the weekend as the beginning to a new month in which we will more fully explore the MWA concepts of Mālama, a value so closely connected to caring for our own spirit.
Here is a preview of our Jumpstart program for the month:
1. Today we shall start by joining in with our Ho‘ohana Community on Talking Story; please click in there to read the Ho‘ohana essay on Mālama:
Our April Ho‘ohana: Mālama. What is Caring in business and at work?
2. In the month to follow, we will explore the concepts which are in Chapter 15 of Managing with Aloha, so jump ahead to page 181 if you haven’t reached it yet. If you have, this is time for a review so we can make it real for you.
3. When you Mālama well, you know well. Thus, this is a month to recommit to the Daily 5 Minutes, and to make your practice and gifting of it completely habitual and second nature to you. (see page 187, and page 145)
4. This month we will commit to being relentless in our self-examination in regard to tacit approval: tough love is inherent in Mālama, for when driven by this value you take care to deal with any sticky situations which arise by dealing with them immediately. (see page 186)
5. We will work at connecting Mālama with our care of business assets, and with stewardship. You can preview these concepts on pages 188 and 189.
For today, give yourself some Mālama affirmations: Choose from those sentences in the brown box of page 181 (or reprinted in the Talking Story Ho‘ohana essay) and compose a new line to add to your email signature. Come up with your own mantra of the month on what you’d like Mālama to mean for you.
This is what I will have on my emails all this month:
Ho‘ohana with us, and Manage with Aloha with the value of Mālama this month! To Mālama is to care, and care deeply, and when we do so we find that we ourselves feel so much better. Read more on www.managingwithaloha.com and talk story with the Ho‘ohana Community.
