How to shift your baseline upwards… for a better life

Shifting baseline syndrome… bullying, low performance, judgmentalness, IQ…

I wrote about that yesterday. But today I want to write about the shifting baseline in the other direction. The direction we’d all like to shift our baseline. towards love, peace, harmony, togetherness, joy, and maybe even productivity.

Of course in a pull-popping, superfood guzzling world we all want instant.

There are a few examples for an instant shift that lasts… Continue reading “How to shift your baseline upwards… for a better life”

Shifting baseline, or how I prepare for my side-hustle gig?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I am mentally and physically preparing for my coaching call tonight. I have watched some 15 videos, researched what others had to say…

I still feel unprepared to talk to a coach. By the way, it is clear to me that you don’t know what coaching is, or you wouldn’t be where you are at.

And it’s not personal.

The coach, so far spent ten minutes on a video to make me promise I’ll show up. The cost of not showing up. I have received three emails and two texts. That tells me many people don’t make the call.

What the coach hasn’t said so far is that only someone in action can be coached. Continue reading “Shifting baseline, or how I prepare for my side-hustle gig?”

Finally I decided to end hope and start a side-hustle

Finally I decided to end hope and start a side-hustle… or why you aren’t growing.

My favorite part of the book, The Science of Getting Rich is where he says: Start where you are.

Most people do their life half-assed, build half-assed projects, hoping that doing that they can have what they want: success, love, fulfillment… but that is not the way to go. Continue reading “Finally I decided to end hope and start a side-hustle”

Today I realized why the holidays lower your vibration

Today finally I found out why the holidays lower your vibration.

Why I never knew it? Because for the past 42 years I have had no family, so I wasn’t obligated to participate in any of the festivities.

So there there, the first reason: it is not an invitation. It is like death and taxes. Unless you go, you are disinherited.

But somehow until today I wasn’t feeling it. I wasn’t feeling that there was no choice.

The tyranny of family. Continue reading “Today I realized why the holidays lower your vibration”

Was David Thoreau wrong? Not desperation but resignation

Resignation and desperation are the dominant moods in the world nowadays.

It’s late fall. The trees have shed their leaves in the Northeast where I live, the heat has been on for weeks now, and already we get up in dark, and end work in dark.

And people are sitting on their fat asses… doing nothing. Have given up. Resigned.

When they look, the future is gloom and doom.

Today I learned… Why I was happiest in kindergarten

Today I learned television was invented and had live broadcasts in 1927. in Europe and in America.

In Hungary I saw my first television, the machine, not even a program when I was seven years old, in 1954. The television was in the Prime minister’s house. Her daughter was in my kindergarten class. The whole kindergarten class walked to their house and ogled the television. Continue reading “Today I learned… Why I was happiest in kindergarten”

It’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game

Millions of pages quote this meme, but everybody understand it differently. Because we, culturally defined humans, we have no idea what is the game, and how we play it. No clue what to pay attention and what is relevant to the how.

No distinction.

The dude who coined the meme, Grantland Rice was a sports writer. He made more money that the people he wrote about. Was he happy? Was he fulfilled? Hell no. Couldn’t be… Continue reading “It’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game”

Being stupid opens the door for learning…

‘I am stupid. Being stupid opens the door for learning, curiosity, and a life.‘ ~ Jodie, one of my students.

Today’s shares were like soothing ointment on blistering skin… I have been living with that blistering skin forever, it seems.

What is that blistering skin? The heat I generate in my articles, in my workshops burns my skin, but doesn’t often reach the clients… So I burn and they don’t.

Until just now. Continue reading “Being stupid opens the door for learning…”

The ground of your being… The dance floor of your life

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The ground of your being is the dominant way you are… to which you return, like returning home.

Religion, spiritual teachers have been duping you. They say that the ground of your being is “being a spiritual being, having a human experience.” That is horse shit, and largely the reason no one has been able to carve out an enjoyable life with that principle.

Some issues cannot be fixed. One such issue is your identity, the identity you built and have been polishing. The ground of your being. The dance floor of your life. Continue reading “The ground of your being… The dance floor of your life”

Why can’t you get from A to Z? Why does it look hopeless?

Personal note: I have been in this transformation game since 1985. I never understood why the human condition was the way it was, why it was hopeless. I didn’t know about the selfish gene… I was completely ignorant. Like most transformational teachers I was ignorant.

A little knowledge is dangerous in the hand of someone who only missed that little knowledge… a little knowledge is dangerous in my hands. I am now confident that with this new knowledge I can guide you to better to win in life.

If you are here, then I guess everything is not going as well as you’d like it to.
