Cleaning Up the BUTs
September 28, 2007
Years ago, after reading books on Gestalt Therapy by psychiatrist, Fritz Perls, I learned that one of the most powerful things I could do was make a very simple change in my language. Specifically, change the word “but” to “and.” For example, take the sentence, “I want to be understanding, BUT I don’t feel like it.” Now, simply change it to, “I want to be understanding, AND I don’t feel like it. Say both sentences and notice the difference in how you feel. Using the conjunction “but” makes both phrases or thoughts incompatible, “erasing” the first one. Changing to the word “and” is inclusive, allowing both to co-exist. Be conscious of using the word “but.” And now, Grant Connolly, creator of the ZPoint Process has an excellent article for you about Cleaning up the BUTs.
The Bored Ultimatum
August 6, 2007
I saw the film, The Borne Ultimatum, yesterday. It was pure entertainment. Director Paul Greengrass put together a movie that was suspenseful, action-packed and clever, keeping the audience engaged for 111 minutes with excellent acting, hand-held camera shots and tight-editing. Visually, it zipped along with action sequences peppered with quick-cut screen images and dramatic music. Your senses were bombarded so you certainly couldn’t be bored stiff, bored silly or bored to tears. And that’s the topic of this post. Do we need to continually be stimulated to keep from being bored? Can we be comfortable with stillness? Either we find ways to release boredom, using methods like EFT, or we succumb to requiring ever increasing ways to keep ourselves stimulated, losing touch with what’s happening in the moment, the now.
Anger Management %@#&!
July 6, 2007
Hey, people get angry. It’s a normal emotion. Sometimes anger can even be a helpful way to make a decision or get motivated to act on an important issue. The problem is that a lot of people haven’t learned ways to let go of their anger. They hold onto it until it builds into an unhealthy emotional state. As a result, we see anger and rage in politics, sports, driving, and nasty divorces. Anger Management is becoming an industry. Probably the most well known firm in anger management is Anderson & Anderson, located in Brentwood California. Check out their blog, Notes from the World of Anger Management. Robert Siegel did an interesting piece on National Public Radio called The Anger Management Industry.
Roundup of Free EFT Video Clips
May 2, 2007
A few years ago, the only way to learn about EFT was by going to Gary Craig’s Website and purchasing a set of videos. That’s if you were really serious about learning EFT because the shortest DVD set is 13 hours long. That’s all changed. Gary now has nine different video sets. There are also several books on EFT, energy psychology and healing. Enter YouTube and GoogleVideo. Now, if someone has a camcorder or Webcam, they can produce a video that’s quickly available worldwide online. There are several EFT practitioners who have produced short video clips for learning EFT. Some of them are better than others. Here’s a roundup of free video clips that we found that you may find useful.
