Why isn’t Gordon Ramsey’s Pad Thai a Pad Thai?

One of the hardest things I have ever encountered is hard because of my weakness of mental representation.

I do have the capacity open, but I have never used it consciously. I have been looking at myself as if the only path to any place is the path of the bumbling idiot, the meandering path. The path I’ve always taken. I even bragged about it… ugh.

And no matter how many courses, workshops, programs, I have done before, it has taken three decades to where I am now. Continue reading “Why isn’t Gordon Ramsey’s Pad Thai a Pad Thai?”

Unexpectedly, I am finding myself doing health coaching on the Reclaim program.

Although that wasn’t my original intention, it turns out that if someone chooses to get well, get enough energy to live life well, to relate well, to find and live a purposeful life, then health coaching is their path, and my job is to accommodate it.

It’s a whole different coaching experience than my $300 per session health coaching: here I get daily feedback for weeks or months… invaluable.

How the missing Sight capacity relegates you to the lower echelons of society?

One of the signs of no Sight, I found, is the lack of skills.

Before you can choose a direction for your professional life, you need to find your portable skills. Skills that you have used in a different context. And then, among those skills, you need to find the ones that you like to use, enjoy using, and use them effectively, leading to success.

If you like to write music, enjoy it, but it hasn’t lead to success. Then writing music is not one of your portable skills that you want to base your life on. Continue reading “How the missing Sight capacity relegates you to…”

Attitude, the most misunderstood word in the world…

In this article we’ll take a holographic approach to attitude adjustment.

By the way, that word, approach, is another word for attitude. Approach is a physical, kinesthetic word. You can approach something timidly, bravely, unconsciously, sideways, cautiously, and having the body posture of the boss… superior. A thousand different ways.

Distinctions and what you don’t know that you don’t know

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

What is missing is always in your blind spot.

Distinctions shed light on your blind spot. They point to what you didn’t know that you didn’t know.

You may have a thousand things you have and you know. But what points out the what’s missing is what is not there but should be.

And it’s not there because you probably don’t know it should be… Continue reading “Distinctions and what you don’t know that you don’t know”

Mental representation, wrapping your mind around things

What big words, Sophie… ugh. Mental representation? huh?

We could say safely, that until you can visualize what you say you want to do, you won’t do it, or you won’t do it well.

Procrastinators are especially weak in mental representation skills. that is probably why they procrastinate.

But it is important to understand what your words mean, the words you use. Continue reading “Mental representation, wrapping your mind around things”

Indulging in emotions and thoughts: it’s unproductive

I measure to what degree you do this in the Starting Point Measurements. This measure is called: ‘To what degree you honor your emotions as reality?‘

Emotions are like the hood ornament

Emotions are like the painted decorations, the hubcaps on a car. They have nothing to do with where the car is going, how the car is driving, the only things that do matter. Continue reading “Indulging in emotions and thoughts: it is unproductive”

I understand what you are saying. I hear what you are saying, I see, I get it. Which one do you say?

When you tell someone something, depending on many factors, you are going to get answers that belie their relationship (attitude?) to what you told them. Continue reading “I understand what you are saying… I hear, I see, I get it”

Unconditional Love, Hamster Wheel, You Are Never Good Enough. Had Enough?

The gurus talk about unconditional love. I correct myself: they preach about unconditional love.

They pretend. Pius speak.

A few years ago I was invited to a gathering that devotees of a guru gave to celebrate whatever they were celebrating. Can’t remember what it was…

I went because I was curious. I am not a guru follower. Have never been. Continue reading “The Hamster Wheel of You Are Never Good Enough. Had Enough?”
