I have often contemplated the diversity of advice one can give in relation to outcome versus process. It confuses us all because there seems to be a disagreement between the two. On one hand, be in the moment, live for the now, celebrates process "god is in the details." While on the other, one can say, if you don't plan, you plan to fail, the future drives the present.

A person without a vision is a dangerous thing. Their emotions and appetites lead them to anywhere with a sweet smell. Directly opposed to this, a person with a vision can be like a puppet on a string and forget the importance of their humanity, kindness, friendliness and love.

In my life, I find myself continually grappling with this question of process versus outcome. My wish is to have both, to align what I do, feel and say daily, with what I want, desire and wish for annually. 

Micro management of life, which seems to be mirrored in this desire to align process and outcome doesn't always feel great. Sometimes, it feels contrived or time wasting. But that is because things continually change, and we are usually surprised and therefore disappointed when they do change.

Vision solves the problem of boredom, we have a vision because it excites us and puts what we do, in a repetitive sense, in context. We eat, sleep and catch colds daily and if it weren't for vision, we'd just cave in and surrender to the relentless. 

Presence solves the problem of absence, which, if we were left not to worry about the present, would sabotage our safety and happiness. We are drawn to the moment because that's where life really exists. Here and now.

I use vision to keep my heart open and engaged in enthusiasm and youthful anticipation of all things good. I use presence to celebrate what is and to make sure I remain awake to the beauty and luck of life as it is. One could argue that vision keeps me relevant in Western eyes and presence keeps me here, in Eastern eyes. East meets West.

Maybe, just maybe the inner (Eastern Satisfaction with what we've got) and the outer (Western appetite for what we haven't got) can actually work together in harmony.

It’s better that we feel something for each other rather than behave like corpses toward one another, the more so because as long as one has no real right to be called a corpse by being legally dead, it breaks my own heart to see the number of people who fulfill the role in life we refer to as "the living dead" bound up in their thoughts, hypocritical in their self-judgements, fearful of what others might think if a single hair fell out of place.


Working with people in a diverse environment confronts us at the core, but at least it assures us that we’re still in the land of the living. When I see how challenging it is to have a boss who might be bathed in human ignorance and yet empowered to direct the heart and soul of another to engage in work for wages, I have the same feeling I used to have about the polluter sending toxic fumes into the sky and being somewhat careless about who eats that dust.

But my lenses are clearer these days, I look and see all as though life were something good and precious that one should cherish it and even a bad boss cannot fray the nerves of a person who has a centre inside themselves that is not a living corpse. Alive means alive, inside.

Now, when I hear the stories of victimhood in the business world I see it as opportunity for people to love more, grow bigger, have greater self determination and find life rather than the easy path, we call the living death. I changed to use nature as my lens, and since then I have felt more cheerful and alive than I had been for a long time, because in spite of my sense of indignation over careless unconsciousness and the big holding sway over the weak, life has gradually become or has seemed much less confusing to me, and things such as victims at work much more unimportant and indifferent because I have seen the opportunity to grow, to find centre and live from the soul and heart, alive, through circumstances I once wanted to fix.

When we live with others and we are bound by a feeling of affection we become aware that we have a reason for being, that we might not be entirely riddled by chaos, or subject to circumstances we must fix and feel worthless and superfluous about, but perhaps we see the good for one thing or another, we start considering that we need one another in our fullest and even most ugly or beautiful human states and are becoming more awake by making the same journey as traveling companions to different destinations but travelling on the same road. Proper self-respect, is very dependent on relations with others.

Moving to see the purpose of interactions that are not as scripted creates a more powerful opportunity to be alive.

​Don’t think that I look with contempt on people because their life is founded on serious and well-considered principles. But the result must be an action, not an abstract idea. 

I think principles are good and worth the effort only when they develop into actions, and I think it’s good to reflect and to try to be goal driven, because that makes a person’s will to work more resolute and turns the various actions into a whole. People would get more steadiness if they went about what they do more rationally. But I much prefer the struggler, the emotional individual, the battler to people who make a great show of their principles without making the slightest effort to put them into practice or even giving a thought to how realistic their projected ideals and judgements on themselves or others are. 

It's easy to judge yourself. And to use the finest of principles, sold to you at work or in weekend celebrations of philosophy ungrounded in reality. Sadly, the people who judge themselves and others most, if they ever get round to living with willpower and reflection, will do something great instead of waste their precious life energy, in self or other criticism. Great things don't happen through impulse alone, it is a succession of little things that are brought together and if we are perpetually projecting a false expectation on ourselves and others, we are no more than the devil incarnated, negativity kills more people than smoking cigarettes or taking drugs ever will. The home of this negativity is inside a human heart that has lost its way.

Those who prefer their principles, (the foundation of negativity) over their happiness remain unhappy, because such rigid personal dogmas act at the expense of actionable happiness, and are therefore a form of especially dehumanizing self-punishment.

What is true success? How does one get there without sabotaging everything important (family, health and quality of innerwealth)?

Personal success means working one’s way through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels is appropriate as a goal (call this self worth) and what one can do, and does do on a daily basis.

How can one get through that wall?

Since hammering on it doesn’t help at all. In my view, one must undermine the wall and grind through it slowly and patiently. This means breaking through the bonds of so much unseen medicine that has been planted accidentally in our conscious and subconscious mind. Can I call this "worthiness" or "self worth" or is it really the continual domain of self-coaching.

How can one remain dedicated to grinding through that invisible wall alone when the demand for introspection requires that we allow  ourselves (no choice here) to be lured from our goals or distracted, in order to grow? The quest for self awareness takes us in tangents exploring options and trying things out and therefore, unless one reflects and organises one’s life according to principles we will be forever at sea trying to find ourselves in an endless search. This is a warning shot across our bow. There must be structure and there must be unstructured. Learning needs opportunity, success needs goals. 

And it’s the same with other things as it is with business or sport success. And greatness isn’t something accidental; it must be willed. Whether actions lead to principles in a person or principles lead to action is something that seems to me to be a state of flux, one feeds the other and there is never a resolution.

I believe it’s a positive thing and of great importance that one should try to develop one’s powers of thought and will on one hand, and grow into a state of confusion on the other. We must only question how much time is necessary in the state of confusion to gain the gift of it. For my association with nature, I can say that this state of confusion only lasts as long as it takes to gain the gift of it. Introspecting on a cushion, or worry, anxiety, talking it over with a spouse, getting opinions like gathering apples from a tree only serves to protract confusion and leave it in the background unresolved, hence many people head off in the direction of their goals, with a half hearted awareness that sits on a mound of uncertainty.

The sounding board has the duty to confront the lies, the deeper conditioning, the long held attachments to principles that may have served in a time of lesser greatness but no longer resolve the uncertainties one faces as the definition of possibilities grows, as the gaols dreams and ambitions of an individual expand throughout their lifetime until they stop growing, and we become the living dead, fixed on principle, hamstrung in action, resigned to the part of a beggar, bound by golden handcuffs, stuck in a purgatory between the past and the future, and wishing for an early demise.

Expect your coaching to be confrontational. Your principles are embedded in your cells and for most of us, they form our identity but our goals and dreams are not embedded, they are expanding, and to stay happy, our actions and our goals must be in step, a task that requires the shattering or at least constant grinding of that wall, made of principled, beliefs and ideals that might be chipped in stone in a time of fear of failure, but now, like all such walls must be turned to a new direction.

Support and challenge is the love of life and any coaching that is meaningful must blend both equally to be effective.

How to Unblock Your Mind and Clear the Fog Of an Overwhelming Emotion

We are spiritual beings learning how to be human, so, go easy on yourself if your emotional and mental wellness isn’t 100% on target. Nobody’s is, and those who claim it to be are simply putting on a brave, public face.

We all have a public and a private face. Last week my partner and I had an argument and then had to meet friends. We were not faking it when we turned up totally happy, enjoying each other and laughing and chatting with everyone. However, the second we walked back home, it all changed again. This is natural, not fake. It’s the duality of nature. There’s two sides to everything and everyone. So, lets start this advisory article by saying that: you are worthy of love no matter what you’ve done or not done, at least at a spiritual level.

We learn to be human by making mistakes, facing challenges, being hurt, hurting and in many ways through trial and error. It’s easy to buy a book and try to fit the mould of a Christian, a Moslem or jew, or Hindu or Buddhist. But that’s really your public face and the more one sided you become about yourself the more likely you’ll be giving yourself hell in private. Only then, your partner and family get to see the “other side.” 

Corporations have codes just like those of religions. Moral and ethics books they call culture and values. These keep your public (at work) face in check but have little or no respect for the consequences this one sided public face at work might drive as the opposite at home.

So, lets begin with a few easy suggestions:

Prevention 

To prevent your mind becoming funky or blocked or even overwhelmed with emotion, is far easier than a fix. So, lets lay track in the realm of prevention first:

• Stay busy….. A busy mind is one that’s learning, texting, excited, activated, challenged, engaged and focussed. A busy mind is not the one watching tv or doing social media. A busy mind might be reading but the mind that is reading and not learning is not busy, it’s distracted. So, step 1 of prevention of mind funk, a busy mind.
• Speak the Right Words …. These words are great to avoid mind funk. Yes, maybe, probably, desire, choose, love, inspired, inspiration, enthusiasm, generosity, kindness, compassion and thank you. These words cause mind funk and should be avoided: Should, could, got to, have to, hate, cold, and the worst, ALWAYS or NEVER.  Bad words polarise the mind into black and white thinking and trigger lower consciousness feelings.
• Look at the bright side… this is not positive thinking which is another way of polarising things, instead try to be thankful or at least ambivalent (it is what it is).
• Hang out with proactive people who are ambitious and not simply self absorbed. When people talk about how they feel all the time you know their mind is trapped in a cycle that is not healthy. You also know that when people criticise others, or judge others, that their mind is going to be judging you and themselves. It’s easy to be influenced by such thinking and end up doing it yourself. It’s a deliberate choice to avoid this mindset so you’ll need to be acutely aware of it.
• Exhaustion …. Whether from alcohol, lack of sleep, parties, late nights at work, challenges with the children, sickness, worry or poor eating, exhaustion is a definite precursor to funky thinking. So, if you’re feeling funky, go to the vitamin cabinet, bed and sleep. (not lye down in front of TV)
• TLC - Tender loving care is my favourite funk prevention mechanism. Giving it is more important than receiving it. Give love, lots of it, be humble and affectionate (not to those who are professionally or not personally engaged with you or you’ll end up in a harassment complaint). But TLC can be a verbal compliment, an act of silence, listening, as well as the physical expressions we are all conscious of.
• Exercise … for those of us who exercise daily, missing our morning jog, ride, swim or ashtanga yoga class … is like missing a morning coffee and by mid morning we’re going to be in a funk. Go running or whatever and remember for every 20 minutes of exercise you get roughy 4 hours of heightened metabolism (feel good).
• Eat “goodly” …. I believe that diet impacts mind more than any one single aspect of life. With the right food you can go through hell and stay strong. However, typically, we surrender when we feel bad and begin to gorge on sugars which, inevitably lead to feeling “badder.”

CURE

• Once funk has set in, cure must be found. Don’t let it linger for more that a few hours otherwise it will become chemically sustained and reinforce itself. Go for a long walk in nature and try to distract yourself with the beauty of what you see and smell. Don’t be gone forever, and it need to be more than an amble where you feel like shit and walk at about the same pace as that.
• Drink buckets of water… avoid coffee and alcohol … avoid sugar drinks 
• Treat yourself to a few things you enjoy, but make them small .. bit of chocolate, an ice-cream, a nice meal. Again avoid alcohol.
• Speak to someone who knows how to fix things, not just an empathetic ear. Choose a counsellor or coach or educated friend in emotional awareness. 
• Sleep always helps
• Exercise is essential
• Be around friends
• Put on a brave face
• Last but not least my favourite: Take a pen or pencil that won’t poison you, put it horizontally across your mouth to force a smile and walk around like this for an hour or two, at work or home, you don’t need to be embarrassed and there are other things you can use. Most important make sure the material you have in your mouth is non toxic, and not sharp. (we don’t want you looking like the Joker in Batman) - 
• Posture. Put a broom handle behind your back and put your arms back over it so you are forced to puff out your chest. An open spine (arched backward) stimulates the brain into production of all the good vibe feelings of a happy day.
• Breathing … without doubt in a funk your breathing is going to be in the ratio 4 counts in, one count out. We need to reverse it.  1 count in, (quick inhale) and 4 counts out (slow exhale.) be mindful not to get dizzy. Panic attacks are 1 in and 6-8 out. 
• Light … bright colours and sunlight stimulate happiness and dark colours and indoors stimulate calm or sadness. So, if you’re in a funk, and you live in a land of eternal winter, move.
•  Watch a great movie (best is comedy) and listen to Baroque music. Both cause happy vibes.
• Love…. more than TLC love for self, family, friends, cats, dogs, plants, god, nature, work… will all help you get back on top of funk.
• The FUTURE….. I’ve left this until last. read below

THE FUTURE ..By far, the greatest influence on cause and cure of mind funk is the future. When the future is in doubt we become funky. Doubt creeps into every corner of our heart and we become what is clinically called, depressed. Depression is future funk. When we doubt we are in the right skin, job, family, country, sport, suit, shoes, world, or even car, we can become totally funked.

This is the key role of a performance coach. To make sure on one side that you don’t get ahead of yourself. On the other side to make sure you stay 100% committed with conviction that you’re on track to your dreams, goals, and visions.

These visions must be believable and so, the path you set to your vision needs to be set clearly. This is the responsibility of your mentor coach to keep that path clear, pull weeds, put hand holds and keep you focussed.

Conclusion

Funk is human and the solution is to evolve. You can do it.

We need an identity. We need answers to explain why things happen us. We need an inner compass that can guide us with humanitarian certainty, and we need a way to be that allows us the freedom to want the best and yet has the utmost humility to enjoy the journey. All the current systems of self-leadership, personal development, religion or spirituality fail in one or more of the above.
​
What is the new, powerful and relevant spirituality?

It is nature. A mix between the consciousness of our impact on the planet, our personal balance across all areas of life and our commitment to be great.

• Nature brings us peace within.
• Nature brings us to be a better version of ourselves
• Nature elevates us to a divine awareness of a non denominational religion
• Nature stimulates us and is the greatest source of personal resilience
• Nature tells us when we are on or off track
• Nature will cause every relationship to be in harmony.

But, and it’s a big but, it is our thinking that matters most, not just the awareness of nature and the environment we surround ourselves with.

On one of my many explorations of the Himalayan wisdom, I took four entrepreneurs with me. There were mountains and birds and monasteries and great energies but the whole trip was filled with share portfolio talk. This meant that the entrepreneurs were there in body but not in thinking. In my language, they didn’t turn up for it.

Presenteeism, the ability for someone to be at work, do their job and go home at night without really turning up, is one of the fastest growing problems in business economics. Diet, exercise, relationships, thinking, opportunities and world crisis are just a few of the many variables that can create a chaos in the mind to cause presenteeism. Nature provides the order in that chaos, therefore, it is relevant, beautiful and powerful.
Thinking in tune with nature means thinking in step with life. It’s a presence that can and always has for the millennia it’s been known, a way to live in harmony while achieving. It keeps you mind body and spirit healthy. It explains the order in the chaos, it helps you to take the wheel and drive the bus by clearing the fog.

My coaching is progressive. I demonstrate the universal laws, the principles of nature, then, over time, apply them to all walks of life. It’s a balance that can be sustained, feels right and prioritises goals without compromising your humanity, heart or love.
This is the future of the global community, a way to integrate diversity and yet, accept individuality. A way of thinking that can calm nerves before they get stressed. It’s prevention rather than cure and an asset for those who choose to stay one step ahead in life. It also solves problems at the source.

The 30 day Back on Track program is designed to be an introduction to the thinking that turns chaos to order through an understanding of nature’s laws. We understand the new philosophy of learning and so apply this by offering online content for self paced awareness with daily working calls to help with application. We have extended workshop one on one sessions to fully embed the mindset. This is for those who choose to stay one step ahead in life, using prevention rather than cure for life challenges and solving problems at the cause rather than wasting time dealing with effect.

Life is full of challenges. The path to any great achievement is paved with speed bumps. Navigating those speed bumps is called success. The one important discovery that life brings in later maturity, is that every single speed bump you've faced has been faced by tens of thousands of people before. In other words, your life is not as unique as you think.

Take my partner Lotte for example: she's training for the Olympics, and feels extremely isolated as she runs her training load for up to 6 hours a day. Yesterday, two hard time trials on the bike, 1.5 hour hard sprint session plus her daily gym, cooking and relationship time with me. She feels, in some ways, like a pioneer. But her nutrition coaches, running coach, technique coach, physiology coach, masseuse, endurance coaches, swim coach, bike team coach, psychology coach, performance coach and I all know that everything she is facing has been faced millions of times before by wannabe Olympians. Some have given up but others have, by following the routine without emotion, arrived at the opening ceremony of the Olympic games, and achieved their dream.

Lotte is wise to distance herself from negotiating those challenges. She's hurting, burning, worried about style, keeping to the heart rate (between 150 and 180 bpm for up to 4 hours training a day) and getting recovered ready for the next huge load, within 12 hours of the last. Getting past doubt, uncertainty, disappointment, frustration, challenges, style shifts, and gear failures cannot distract her. Hence, the coaches are collaborating to create an unbeatable team around her. (by the way, she needs a sponsor who will win a huge opportunity to brand their business with run, swim, ride images, stories and achievements for a few 000$).

My journey is similar to Lotte but in life and business. I didn't have the gift of wisdom she has to use coaches. I blazed my own trail. I went to the Himalayas 55 times to learn what a coach already knew. I went through relationships to discover what a coach already knew. I won and lost sporting events to discover what every sport coach could have shared. And I busted my back doing what any physiology expert would have predicted. I have had depressions and heart breaks that could have been foreseen by a reasonable performance coach. 

What's the difference between Lotte and I in the coaching world? Why didn't I have the wisdom to use coaching? Answer.... EGO.

Ok, that's a big simplification but I grew up being bullied by a father who was very strict and a step mother who between bouts of alcoholism didn't have my best interest at heart. So, I chose to be antidisestablishmentarianism - a radical, a renegade and a free spirit in the world. I wouldn't change it, I love my life and the experiences from it, but if you ask me the difference between coached and not, I'll simply put it down as COST.

My road cost time, money, energy, love, effort, pain, that, as it turns out, is pretty much the most precious things we have in life. I paid a high price for my success, Lotte is paying, but her track is straighter, and therefore her targets are coming faster.

I chose to become a coach to help people, executives, sports people, indigenous communities and youth, get to their dreams goals and visions with less of those costs. Sure it costs money, but that, in retrospect, is far cheaper than experience.

Life is too short to learn form experience so why not learn from other's experience?

A coach needs to have grey hair.

Your body and your mind are intimately connected. Mind power must be viewed in collaboration with your physical and spiritual wellbeing. Ultimately, it's hard to do good if you don't feel good. Your body is nature's bible, you can tell what is going on and needs to change in your thoughts from your body.

To think is to live. The freedom to think. The freedom to feel. Nobody can take it from you. Even in prison. But few people can control their mind. 

Emotions are not the dominant driving force of life. They come from the mind that is not in control. When emotions dominate it is such a loss of opportuntity. All those who have made good, in sport, healing, business and love have learnt to control their mind and therefore their emotions.

There are those who have lost control and medicate to survive. We call those medications the 4 substitutes and you have learnt from me, what they are. To recap:

Food and substance (most particularly sugars, drugs, caffeine  and alcohol)
Greed and it’s partner, depression
Sex, and it’s partners, envy and imitation.
Spirituality and the ignorant desire to escape reality (all seven areas of it) and be somewhere else 

Life, no pill can create it, no meditation can escape it.
Mind control puts you in the driver's seat of your life.

1. Realistic Expectations: If you are going to play in the world it's wise to have a realistic expectation of what makes the people on it go around and around.

2. Cause and Effect: So much of life can be mastered if you learn how to work on cause rather than effect - simple things make the biggest difference.

3. Know what you want - When you want it and How you are going to get there.

4. Never let your mind, emotions and physical appetites rule your heart.

These four are the most powerful insights. Easy to apply. An Asset to own.

Listen to this man and his inner dialogue overriding his outer dialogue. He demonstrates the greatness you have to believe you have. You can translate his ideas

 Have you ever experienced a moment in life when everything seemed to stand perfectly still. A moment walking in a busy street, sitting by a lake, playing with the kids in a park, kissing your lover? Those accidental moments do no have to be accidental. You can have them anytime you choose when you know how. But first, we need to overcome any resistance to it.

It's easy, when defeated by circumstances in life, to revert to a defensive mode of being. In such states it feels like we are always trying to get back to "somewhere we lost." Often, it's a self fulfilling prophecy. We start hearing things through a filter and that filter spins everything into a "self sabotaging" mindset of defence or attack to disprove the  pre-scripted interpretation of life's incidents.

X came to me with a series of "bad luck" stories. He was wanting change but had also joined a support group for his pain, diagnosed as PTSD (post traumatic stress) from a violent incident. During his 30 days in the incubator (30 day challenge) he broke the mould of "bad luck" thinking and started to see the journey as "normal" rather than broken or messed up. This is a key. We are all on the same track and there's no avoiding the road bumps, pot holes and punctures we get along the way.

As you can see from the diagram below, the final home stretch of the Back on Track loop is Self Reliance. This is the most challenging component of the Back on Track™. Here in Self-Reliance, we come to see that the future, the past and the present are completely painted with the belief pattern we have about people, (past and present) - incidents we've experienced (past, present and imagined) and the beliefs we've collected (inherited, learnt, experienced or read). At this stage of Back on Track, there are no victims and where we are, is where we've chosen to be.

The Future - Planning Perfect Moments.

An airline pilot goes to a simulator and trains long and hard before being given the pilot seat to take an plane filled with passengers into the sky. But we don't. We often live life by "shoot, ready, aim" instead of "ready, aim, shoot." In other words, we often live by experience rather than by the ambition for moments of perfection. 

The pilot metaphor is useful. My experience is that if you get ready for a new role in life, the new role will come to you. In other words, when the person is ready, the job offer will appear. All too often a person in a stressed space will start thinking about a new job, new company, thinking that their new space, new job will not have the stresses of the old. This is a myth. New jobs have stress, but maybe there's a honeymoon period before it's experienced.

The role of "back on track" is to not only bring you up to scratch in your current occupation, but take you way beyond into preparation for the future. An incubator for your future self. I've outlined some of the key variables in this process below.

Ultimately, if you are waiting to see it, before you believe it, you'll be waiting forever.

Consciousness of living and the power of emotions or the lack of them.

The modern era of shining iPhone screens, zero hour contracts, the threat of nuclear armageddon and continued global poverty can challenge your personal resilience. But you can turn this around by turning to nature and rekindle the art of imagination, dreams to restore your strength and vitality

One of the themes that emerges from my international clients is that people feel increasingly depleted by everyday life and work, and it’s getting worse.

Compare the pressures you face in a typical week with a few years ago: have they increased? Now think about the years ahead: are the pressures likely to keep growing? If you’re answering 'yes', this could be a good time to review and renew your strategies for resilience.

I've spent my life exploring how people can raise their wellbeing and resilience through contact with nature.

To help this, I've travelled with groups to Nepal's Himalayas, to the Everest region and the Sir Edmund Hillary National Park, a conservation area, at nearly 3,000 meters above sea level. I've been  running a range of events for individuals and work groups exploring resilience and natural happiness.

Time in Nature

A book published in 2012 by two doctors from Harvard Medical School quotes many research studies showing how long hours in front of screens put people in a continual state of alert, which makes it hard for them both to concentrate, and also to relax.

The book, "Your Brain on Nature," also provides plenty of evidence that time in Nature is one of the best antidotes to losing that precious enjoyment and resilience needed for a good quality of life.”

My programmes offer a range of ways to learn from Nature. An important part of most of these events is some solo time out amongst the trees, on a mountain path or by an ocean or lake, giving people a chance to relax, and open to fresh insights about the issues that they’re facing.

Nutrition for future growth

Alongside this, I created a model, the Back on Track Program, which shows how people can learn from the resilience of natural ecosystems, lead better, feel better and do better simply by alignment with natural process. The Universal Laws of Nature.

Many people feel helpless about problems, and simply stuff their worries down. “I find that these deep, denied worries affect a lot of people, and sap their energy and resilience. I offer a range of processes, such as discard, VIP and Innerwealth using deep ecology, to help people face these anxieties, and find a more positive outlook.” 

Daring to dream

One of my inspirations in this area is the experience that the way to positive change for the state of our world begins with visions, imaginations and dreams. Dreams, in the sense of inspiring visions, and myths, in the sense of prevailing beliefs, have a huge influence in our world.

I'm optimistic about the future, because I believe that the wisdom of planet earth, can team up with the inventiveness of humans, to find solutions even to the current threats.

You could look at it as a chance for humans to grow dramatically in resilience, and in their connection with Nature. We have to dare to dream: if we can at least carry a vision of the future we hope for, it starts to gather momentum.”

I provide organic growth approaches for people and their work that help to build resilience. This is backed by many years’ experience of working with mindfulness, deep ecology and other approaches to wellbeing, and is part of the natural advantage.

If you find yourself bouncing between self confidence and doubt, it's probably because you've got the Unlucky Fkr mindset stuck in your thinking. Simply this means you're living in hope that you'll find a partner, job, health, financial plan, spiritual teacher that will create for you an all upside lifestyle. 

Understandable in a way because that's what sells. We buy pleasure over pain, right over wrong, good over bad in the hope of eliminating the downside of things. Sadly, it's a hope that can't be met by reality and will probably make you frustrated, angry and at worst, depressed.

In contrast, Lky Fkr builds realism into life thinking and therefore eliminates the frustration over things that don't go to plan.

I've argued against fixed cultural measures inside organisations - academic models of human good behaviour that are constricting and claustrophobic. But rarely have I demonstrated how those cultural brain washing process are also, Xenophobic. 

Sexual diversity is no more about men and women than molecular structure is about protons and electrons. They are totally mixed and confused by the topic of gender which in itself is an emotional myth and based on horrifically antiquated ideas about physicality.

Going to the heart of human consciousness, the paradigms that are sold in human development promote gender separation by appealing to either the masculine or feminine aspects of being human  which, in essence, splits people into preference between one of the two innate aspects of being a whole person.

We may be defined by our sex, gender or preference, but within us all, by the decree of the universal laws of nature, we are both. We must be:

But when we prefer peace over war, creating over destroying, good over bad, we partition ourselves and so begins the root of self doubt and self abuse. To say the least, and all mental health issues have their root in this so often unquestioned realisation. Create and destroy are two sides of one coin, the art of being human. 

This is consciousness. I don't pretend to serve this meal to those who are unconscious and wish to stay that way in polarised antique thinking. For those who are ready no words are necessary, for those who are not, no words are possible. Consciousness means transparency and when we say transparent, we mean to take the full brunt of dealing honestly with causation rather than dance with effects. All too often, human development plays into the hands of the unconscious mass, trying to promote a jaundice view of what it's like to be a real human being.

It goes to the heart of my discussions about culture and change. Compliance to corporate culture models and expectations of management is 100% essential. However, ownership of your total self is a completely different topic. I hope that comes through clearly here.

We must each be accountable. We must take ownership of both our creative (want what we haven't got) and our destructive (want what we've got), feminine and masculine sides and detach these from the language of "male" and "female" - outdated definitions of who we are and how we live, happily, in love and with success in this wonderful world.

We know the value of rising above something. We love the mountains, we love looking down at the order in things. It's humanly natural to want to see life from a lofty height. But this is not just a mental or physical experience. It's spiritual as well.

When we see order in chaos, we are totally in control. It's about predictability, safety, comfort and control of the future. Order in chaos means, helicopter mindset.

There are many ways of detaching yourself from something, many of which involve some sort of emotional or physical separation. An "I don't care" attitude, or "I'm over it" headspace. But this isn't really the experience of rising above something, it's more akin to an imprisonment of hiding from it.

The helicopter mindset puts you in the driver's seat. It gives you complete control of a situation both personal and professional. It certainly changed my life, being able to see the order in the chaos made living in the real world a totally conscious experience. 

I used to meditate on a cushion, but now, life is my meditation. Now I see order in life, rather than have to escape it to an old, somewhat outdated Eastern practice. Try it. I think you'll find, like me, that it can make the process of living in the moment a beautiful one. Totally inspired and, it can make your moods much smoother, given that you're more likely to act rather than react.

HOW? 

1. Recognise that work was never meant to inspire you. You were meant to turn up to work inspired and then make your work inspired.
2. Recognise that hard work is bad management and the era of time based work output is lost to the age of the dinosaur. Long hours just feed the EGO - not the result.
3. Recognise the model of Organise, Supervise, Deputise is nature's way of growing "How" you work and what you work "ON." - it's called EVOLVE.
4. Recognise that you are not your work, but your mission, vision, purpose and aspiration in life is to GIVE - with all your heart into whatever you do. Excellence is achievable with this awareness.
5. Recognise that most if not all corporate training programs are based on fear, and therefore unconsciousness. You'll need a strong commitment to turn up inspired when the systems you are operating in feed the lowest rather than the highest common denominator in culture.
6. Recognise that all stress is an emotional lie.
7. Recognise that you cannot rise in consciousness at work higher than your boss and that conflict, disharmony and frustration may be the result of a structural misinterpretation of who reports to who in your company.

The world has been struggling for many years to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy behaviours. Religions, cultures, values and ignorance have even been introduced to try to separate the divide between healthy and unhealthy.

Ultimately, nature provides the answer. Healthy grows you, nurtures your soul, feeds your desires and satisfies your need to feel confident about your destiny. Unhealthy shrinks you, feeds your ego and satisfies your short term fears. 

It may be wise in the future to look at human development from this perspective because much of what is done in the name of good corporate development, and the behaviours that result, are based on unconscious models of human development.

Distill the complex. Integrate the fragmented. Align your body, with your mind with your heart. Know which of the three is running your life.

For those of you out there in busy ness land, I want to make it really clear what I'm offering with the 30 day coaching.  

I offer you a new and more profound way of looking at your life. I provide you with a leading edge methodology, a life advancing process, and a high achievement formula, that helps you create significant changes in your attitude to, and actions in, life. I am also here to help you learn how to change any stressful situation you might encounter into a blissful condition, or experience. The result will be that you will learn how to experience more moments of love, gratitude, certainty and presence in your life. You will learn how to act from a greater state of vision, inspiration and purpose, the result of which is a feeling of wisdom, maturity and poise. 

​

This week it has been drilled home to me over and over again that what we think causes what we live. There's just no use blaming your job or spouse or financials for your mental state. It's rubbish. You choose your thoughts, even if you don't choose the circumstances you're in. 

So, all life is associated with thoughts and the key thoughts you can have are self respecting. 

Nobody treats you better than you treat yourself so, if you're not getting the sex you want, question whether you're treating yourself as someone's toy, or not. 

Heart and soul at work differentiates you. And without heart and soul at work you become a robot that will be replaced first chance someone gets to do it. It's a simple piece of math, if you are not separated from what you do by how you do it, your job is on the line. 

Heart and soul means:

1. You're on purpose..
2. You're on values
3. You're turning up 
4. You're caring about others
5. You are balanced, centred and calm.

If you'd love to know more about differentiating yourself, please give me a call.
