Hope as Practice
Best for: cynicism that has hardened into habit
This short courage practice reframes hope as something you do, not something you wait for. Becky helps you notice the protective intelligence of cynicism, name a small thing you have stopped letting yourself want, and stay in the room with the wanting, without the qualifier or safety hedge. The aim is not optimism but the much smaller, much braver act of remaining in relationship with what you want while the outcome is still unknown.
