14 R’s – A Doctrine for Change
“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life” – Charles Darwin
Our 14 R’s Every Hour
This is our doctrine of change. The 14 R’s are adaptable and flexible and we can suit them to our individual needs and realities. The one thing they do strongly suggest is to be sincere and practice with them regularly. It takes 21 days of doing something to make a habit of it and 40 days for it to be on auto pilot, suggest scientists.
- Refuse – Learn to Say No
- Reduce – Watch our Consumption
- Reuse – Use and Use
- Responsible – Be Accountable for our Actions
- Respect – Treat all with Consideration
- Replenish – Stop Taking and Start Giving
- Relearn – Unlearn what Destroys
- Reclaim – Ask for what is Rightfully Ours
- Rethink – Stop and Take the time to Consider
- Regenerate – Normalise Rest and Slowing Down
- Release – Let go, Drop our Guard
- Rewild – Nature and the Self
- Real – Be our Authentic Self
- Rejoice – Enjoy what we Do
Let us use these stepping R’s and have a wonderful journey inwards. Every hour, for 14 hours, we need to practise the 14 R’s, in our own way and capacity. Then we would truly become a people that are sensitive, sustainable and compassionate.
We are in the process of writing a booklet on the 14 R’s. We also conduct sessions and workshops based on the 14 R’s. Book a TRANSFORMATIVE session now for your team, school or organisation.
