Real Life Dilemma: I feel vulnerable if I stick a stake in the ground, and as that's a feeling I'm not so used to, I tend to avoid it!

Over the past few weeks I've been lulling my baby girl to sleep with the heady combination of "booba" and a Joseph Riggio DVD. It's the DVD set from the Intentional Performance training that took place in Denmark a while back. In it Joseph presents the idea of "sticking a stake in the ground". He endlessly demonstrates this position by giving his views on subjects such as the US elections and the situation in Iraq, without couching them in language that would dilute their impact.

December 8th 2008 Joseph is running his Personal Enhancement Seminar

One of the major distinctions between average performers and star performers, is their belief system. We're all a product  of the mental programming that we were subjected to during childhood. People of influence, such as parents and teachers, were the primary architects of our early belief systems. Unfortunately, because many of those people had limiting beliefs themselves, what they passed on was limiting. That's why average people are saddled with a set of beliefs that are more about survival than success. They have been programmed with a "fit in and play it safe" mentality.

Your average person on the street is risk averse. They've been taught that to make it through life in one piece, play it safe and be thankful they have a roof over their head. "Stay below the radar and you won't get hurt," seems to be their world view...

(To reset, I quickly take myself back through the exercises that I've presented so far in this newsletter thread).

But wouldn't it be nice to not "lose it" in the first place? To have the awareness and skill to be able to change the course of events before they go horribly wrong?

This month I'm going to be presenting an exercise to help you do just that. It's a variation of exercise number 5 of the MythoSelf Process, called "Limiting the Limitations"...

Over the past few issues I've been leading you through the MythoSelf Process as applied to the issue of "My life feels empty and hollow".

As a reminder, I chose this particular issue because providing a practical "in the world" resolution to the existential longing that people suffer in modern society, is at the heart of what the MythoSelf Process is all about, and I want to demonstrate to you how I think this is so.

The other reason I've chosen this thread is because I'd like to do by bit to demystify the MythoSelf Process and make it more accessible to people who are searching with the personal development field.

While the exercises aren't totally true to those presented in a face to face training, if applied with commitment and diligence they do serve the purposes outlined above.

It's great when you're having one of those days where it seems you just can't put a foot down wrong, but how about when your chips are down and you're feeling the walls crumble around you? ...

I don't claim to know whether things going right on the outside (e.g. having time for a good cup of tea before leaving the house, having a run of green lights all the way into work, finding that your boss is out of the office for the day ...) is what causes people to have a good day, or whether it comes about as a result of a concerted effort from the individual to enter into a good frame of mind.

Perhaps it's both.

What I do know though, is that it's possible for a person to influence how they feel by where they put their attention...

April 26th - One Day Only!

10am - 4pm

Harpenden House Hotel, Harpenden, Herts

I've chosen this particular dilemma for a couple of reasons.

The first is because providing a practical "in the world" resolution to the existential longing that people suffer in modern society. is at the heart of what the MythoSelf Process is all about, and I want to demonstrate to you how I think this is so.

The second reason is because I'd like to do by bit to demystify the MythoSelf Process and make it more accessible to people who are searching with the personal development field ...

I'm speaking about a very specific kind of loneliness. It's the type that comes about when you're with people who have a different outlook on life than you.

Further still, it's the kind of loneliness that's felt when these people try to impose their beliefs on you, and where you say nothing, for what ever reason.

If you've attended MythoSelf Process trainings, NLP trainings, or engaged in other forms of personal development, you may have a sense of what I mean. Or perhaps you've always been different to other folk ;-) - in your beliefs and behaviours - and this leaves you feeling lonely at times.

This month I'll be exploring ...

Funny how a learning suddenly sinks in. (What's that saying about being able to take a horse to water .... ;->)

Anyhow, thanks to a drive to get the nation cooking and my daughter's presence, I've learnt that being intentional in my actions elicits cooperation from others. Let me explain ...

But I won't start there because doing so isn't particularly in keeping with the MythoSelf Process. Plus it would be doing the very thing that actually causes what we want to avoid - i.e. going over what's already happened, processessing, festering, justifying and ultimately dragging things out is not conducive to letting go and moving on quickly.

Instead I'm going to be entirely solution focused and I'll get right down to offering some tips and techniques to help you with letting go and moving on quickly ...

This month's "Real Life Dilemma" is guaranteed to get the goat up in anyone who is on the receiving end of it. Asking someone for their input, and then doing your own thing anyway can result in a fall-out of titanic proportions.

I'll be presenting a scenario to illustrate this type of dilemma; exploring the tactics that are in play during such an exchange, and providing some tips on how to avoid this being a stressor in your relationships...

Ever watched those movies where just at the point of crisis a super hero shows up and makes every thing good? For some people, the equivalent of the Hollywood super hero does come to the rescue, but for most we are left to figure out our own way out of the fire.

How can it be that I can barely remember anything about a good 10 years of my life?  It's not as if I've been in an accident and suffered memory loss, and neither is it because I didn't do anything during that time worth remembering.  Quite the contrary, I actually did a great deal of traveling, visiting 2 or 3 different countries a year most years.  I moved house a couple of times, moved job a couple of times.  Hardly an uneventful 10 years!  Yet I have great difficultly recalling anything with any great detail.

This month's real life dilemma will explore what's possibly going on to cause this comatose state, and what you can do to prevent it happening. 

We are out of the office due to the birth of our first child!

Which of these applies to YOU?  I can't make up my mind...I don't know what I really want...How will I know for sure...But in the past it's always been...

This is a weekend training that will teach you a very particular way of being in the world where making decisions comes easy and life just works.
