Yes, And?

Posted by Garrett Guynn in Untagged 

Garrett Guynn

I'm the type of person that gets really excited when in an interesting conversation. I have to shut myself out and focus on the speaker if I am to get all the information. I do this by making eye contact with the speaker and giving them my attention.

Weather it's an engaging conversation, or just casual conversation I am engaged in, it is polite to show the speaker I am listening (and rude not to!). I also do this with verbal gestures. Often, someone has a great idea, and I say, "Yes, But.". When I say, "but", I am discounting what the person just said. I learned that from my friend Tony.

These days, when someones has a great idea, I immediately say, "Yes! And?" By being a "yes, and?" person, I can then make my point while not trampling on the other person's great point. That has helped me to become an active listener.

Peace of mind - the first goal and nixing cancerous words

Posted by Peter V. Ruble in fear

Peter V. Ruble

Suppose there is something holding you back, like a broken leg before you want to run the race. Obviously, the foremost goal should be healing your broken leg, not the race. Perhaps the most limiting injury is a mind that is scripted to limit your potentional. Very often this can be an attachment to words and phrases.

To paraphrase a chapter from the book Love is Letting Go of Fear, a book so popular that the author  Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. appeared on the Johnny Carson show once, you can imagine yourself drowning, and every worry and limiting thought would disapear from your mind except the natural instinct of air.

If fear is holding you back, the 1st immediate goal I believe needs to be peace of mind, than career, other things. The book talks about thinking of peace of mind the way you would think about air while drowning and the recipe to achieve the goal is simple:

Look at everyone is blameless.

Throw these words in the trash can:

"impossible
can't
try
limitation
if only
but
however
difficult
ought to
should
doubt
 
any words that place you or anyone else in a category
any words that tend to measure or evaluate other people
any words that tend to judge or condemn someone else
"
And yes, I am guilty of violating all these, which is my right, but I don't want to anymore.

The Big Bang (Design and Lifestyle Theory)

Posted by Garrett Guynn in Untagged 

Garrett Guynn

Do you ever start a new project, look around at your materials, and ask yourself: "Where do I begin?"  Often, when I start a new Web Site, I cannot decide if I will begin in Photoshop, or if I will begin in Notepad.  In either case, when I start my design, I am looking at a blank canvas.  When coding Web language, the blank canvas is referred to as the DOM.  We have all experienced this moment.  Maybe you are preparing an outline for a class you are teaching, maybe you are writing a letter, and maybe you are writing a song. I was reading this post from Robert Hodgin on all manner of distractions.  I must say, this was truly an inspirational post.  It helped me simply the creative process.  Here's an excerpt:

"I have a hard time getting started. Much like I have a hard time committing to doing laundry. Or cooking dinner. I think about all the steps needed to successfully wash clothes or cook a 3-course meal and I get all flustered and the lazy gene kicks in. But if I stop thinking about all the necessary steps and just focus on the next logical step, the chore seems to finish itself."[1]

While I think preparation is great, sometimes the creative mind needs to stare at a blank canvas and then just go for it!

Blah Blah Blog

Posted by Linda Moore in Untagged

I haven't read many blogs. This is my first blog.

I came upon Positive Atmosphere yesterday when I googled "Positive People". Where are all these positive people you speak about? It's the one thing that I can't judge myself on. To ask myself on a scale of 1 -10, how positive I am - it's subjective and relative on the day, season, situation etc. So, I want to change that. Positive is positive. I'm missing some information.

What is positive? Anything over 0. The opposite of negative. Seriously, just looking at the word, confuses me. I want to be positive, so what do I think, say, do!!!!

INFORMATION AND ACTIONS THAT WILL POWER UP YOUR PERFORMANCE
A C H I E V E M E N T
Requires Intensity Of Purpose.

---------------------------------------------------
Do you want to find a new Starting Point for true and lasting success? Are You Open and Receptive To New Ideas? Stay on the road to your success by being open and receptive to new ideas. The more you learn and grow, the more progressive and effective you will become. Thus, I invite you to step into the unfamiliarity of your journey and find your Authentic Voice in a genuine world of your mind and you will no longer be pounded and isolated by the changes around you. Things will also become very clear when there is nowhere to escape. Hold on to your internal magic and follow through on your commitment and the priority list you make for yourself. Remember, rationalization is simply lying to your self. You may want to ask for help and discover an effective approach on making conscious decisions, those that will lead you toward getting what you want out of life. If you believe, you do not need help and learn the steps necessary to shift limiting beliefs and create abundance, I understand and that is OK. However, do not succumb to rationalizing your failure to complete your priorities for ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION and developing the characteristics of mastering your Life Plan are the keys to create abundance and to find true happiness. (True happiness is delight of the heart and soul no matter what the result of any life-event.) Now, if you need to hit the "Reset" button on your career, your relationships and your life? Do you want to find a new Starting Point for true and lasting success? Are you ready to bring balance and harmony to your life and relationships? Through the Life Expansion Programs (TeleClass & Seminar), we discuss the important qualities of goals and intentions and how they can be used as a tool to help you live an extraordinary life. Thus, I invite you to take a virtual tour at the Life Expansion TeleClasses pages at http://windsorlindor.com/Programs/TeleconferencePreRegistration.html. At your convenience, please email me your thoughts about the classes or feel free to call me at 818.245.0714, I will be happy to answer any questions you have about the classes.
