How would you be different if you gave yourself a 20:20:20 every Saturday?
Can you imagine discipline being easy? Even sustainable over a long-time?
"Reverence with Consistency" is how Libby described it this morning.
"Self-Cleaning" was Carissa's description...."Like a washing from the inside-out"
"Easy Familiarity" was how Lisa described it. "Reliable, accessible & authentic"
Everyone agreed the 20:20:20 is a chance to look at the stuff nobody wants to (stress, trauma, tension & pain), but rather than struggling to avoid it, finding it easy, comfortable, empowering and liberating to do it with our own and each other's companioning.
Embedded practices such as securely attaching with ourselves, and pendulating between "this" and "that", give focus and meaning to our weekly format, fulfilling it's original name "The Burnout & Trauma-Care Clinic".
The goal of your first 6-weeks of practice, is to grow so familiar with the format, that your body does it automatically. Sustainability, as a core value underlying Burnout & Trauma-Care, is built-in at the individual- and group-levels.
Below are the three main benefits of bedding in the 20:20:20 Rule and a little of the evidence behind it.

Meet Needs You Didn't Know Existed
Sometimes we don't know what we need until the need is met.
Have you ever had that experience?
I'll never forget the time in a mothering moment of arguing with my son, a neighbour walked in and gave me the most perfectly-timed hug. The loving suprise completely and immediately melted my anger into the relief of deep grief which was really underlying my despair.
Most weeks I experience it when my partner, who has a way of cooking a meal just right, hits me with the vitality of the veges and the char of the fatty protein. The moment I taste it I'm instantly aware my body has been craving such good nutrition.
Some of the needs the group have shared, I've captured here:
"I've been to other classes and I can't relax into it because I don't fit into it. This is the "real-world practice", it's not judgie or manufactured"
"This is the first time I've found it really easy to keep a practice. It's peaceful, easy to park, accessible in every way...it's authentic"
"The time and place really work for me. I can disconnect from work, bills and things, and spend an hour a half focussing on me."
"It's totally true that when I'm topped up on self-connection and trust in even a few other people, I'm less likely to reach for a false sense of security"
Have you ever had the experience of a need being met that you didn't even know was there? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.
