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. When we're born we're like a sponge, absorbing through our wide open senses things within our environment. We're totally present to the experience we're having and it's all consuming. When there's too much going on for a newborn to process, or when the intensity of a situation is too high for them, they will "shut down". The baby enters into what looks like a really deep sleep, and the amount of time they remain this way will vary depending, in part at least, on the intensity and duration of the assault on their senses. It's entirely feasible that an adult does much the same thing, except the deep sleep isn't the shut eye type, but an open eye version that enables them to continue to function in their day-to-day life. When a person is feeling emotionally troubled by events in their life, their physical well-being is compromised. If the person doesn't deal with that thing that is troubling them, and lets it go on unaddressed, they are in fact overriding the "take action" signals that their body is sending them, to the point where parts of their system "shuts down" for survival. They are totally spent and down for the count but because they have their life to be getting on with, they develop a strategy to carry on while parts of their system (i.e. their senses) are "shut down". This is what can be described as the living dead - they are in the world, but not fully present to it - and it's this state of existence that is likely to lead to the type of memory loss that comes as a result of not being fully present to large chunks of your life. 3 Steps to Preventing Shut Down - Develop greater awareness of your body. One of the ways that you can do this is by engaging in a daily routine of progressive relaxation.
- Take notice of signals from your body which often show up in the form of aches, pains, inability to sleep, troubled mind etc.
- Identify what's going on in your life that's causing the signal and address 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. | 1 November 2008 | Admin December 8th 2008 Joseph is running his Personal Enhancement Seminar
| 1 October 2008 | Admin 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. | 1 September 2008 | Admin "MythoSelf-ers" Take Risks!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... | 31 July 2008 | Admin My nearest and dearest are the ones who really know how to rattle my cage. Everything can be going along nicely and then the look comes at me from across the table. Before I'm able to do anything about it, I find myself overcome with annoyance. From this point forth it all goes south, and the question becomes "how quickly can I reset?"(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"... | 1 July 2008 | Admin IntroductionOver 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? ... | 30 May 2008 | Admin | 30 April 2008 | Admin IntroductionI 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... | 18 April 2008 | Admin "Raising Successful Kids In A Stressful, Competitive World"April 26th - One Day Only! 10am - 4pm Harpenden House Hotel, Harpenden, Herts | 1 April 2008 | Admin The real life dilemma that I've chosen for this month is one that I plan to run with for a few issues. This is because I intend to take you through various exercises that I think deliver greater results if applied over a period of time.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 ...
| 29 February 2008 | Admin What a strange thing it is. To be amongst people, and yet to feel lonely. 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 ...
| 1 February 2008 | Admin My 4 month old daughter taught me this lesson while cooking along live to Gordon Ramsey on the TV the other week.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 ... | 13 December 2007 | Admin It would be easy for me to begin this months real life dilemma with an in depth exploration into why hasn't been so easy (for me .. and perhaps for you too) to quickly let go and move on when civilized communication has turned into war. 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 ...
| 28 November 2007 | Admin 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... | 31 October 2007 | Admin 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. This "Real Life Dilemma" aims to provide some tips and techniques to help you be your own super hero at those times in your life when you really don't think things could get any more difficult ... | 31 August 2007 | Admin We are out of the office due to the birth of our first child!
