Comment on Day 1 (2009-07-27): Humble Discipline by goddessonwheels

Hi Curtis, It’s me, Gina.

It was great seeing you again Thursday night at CHA, (sorry I didn’t say good-bye) and I would love to join you in “adding a humble discipline”.

My body has told me that it (I) feel much better if I can move for as little as 15 minutes in the morning when I wake up. Sometimes I listen.

So, I will try doing this every day and see what a difference it makes. I think the hardest part of consistency is how my energy level fluctuates with my cycle, so I’d like to start by trying it for 30 days.

So, here we go! I’ll keep you posted!

Know what you mean, dude. We should all link up and share experiences. Here’s some tips that worked for me.
God forbid I should actually be able to express this clearly and completely, but I’ll try again. I might get one or two ideas across, but there are many implications. I can’t get the wording straight and it may mislead a little, but, what can I do but my best.
I find that words have implications and feelings around them that distort the best intentions. I found that by dropping using whole classes of words, my intentions then took affect. I decided to use descriptive words. They are probably the clearest and most unemotional, accurate words we have. Dropping negative words got rid of depression for me, after a few bouts after the word change.
The whole mind uses vision logic and, as you can imagine, pictures aren’t emotional, only us. We actually have an objective self, more objective than we can be. A lot of being thankful and forgiving ourselves and others is to get, or it gets, the brain in balance and sane and helps us read the whole mind through listening to our intuitive thoughts and developing intuition, that inner voice.
Getting the general ideas from the relatively new science of Emotional Intelligence helps develop intuition, as does getting to the ideas behind feelings, as feeling tend to sabatoge our work, as do wrong word choices. Incorrect ideas produce unhealthy, unhelpfull, misleading emotions and intuitions. By concentrating on the creative, positive, compassionate ideas that come only from the right hemisphere of the brain, we accesse and activate our whole brain thinking and vision logic and all our joy, hope and genius. That’s a main driving force of the effectiveness of intention. For instance the whole mind is about a million times faster than the conscious mind. Can you see the power?
Science descibes the conscious mind as a monkey on the back of a tiger. “Free Will: Now You Have It. Now You Don’t.” NY Times science section. Late 2007 or early 2008.
The right knowledge is power. Since we are 60% negative, positive words helps bring a balance and sanity and the intuition guides us in where to look, who to ask, where to go and sees opportunities the depressed person misses.
There, I think I’m getting better at this.

Comment on Day 69 (2008-12-16): Narrow connections by Curtis G. Schmitt

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify. The loneliness comes up in my work (I’m self-employed and work by myself). And because I’m self-employed, I tend to work longer hours than 9 to 5. When I do get out to be with friends and family, I feel very connected to them. I’ve set the intention that one of my themes for 2009 will be COLLABORATION in my work so that I can create an experience of being part of a team. Even so, I don’t want to deny that this is all mental and I can feel connected (if I choose to) whether I’m around people or not. Tom Hanks had his volley ball, right?

You sound lonely. I vote that you go someplace to meet new people. Are there meetups in your town? The people at those events are usually uber-friendly, plus you can generally do something you like in the process.

Wow. As someone who tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, I find this to be rather profound.

OMG THANK YOU!! I’ve been saying this to people for the last four years, and everyone always responds with “love is a feeling; it’s not a choice.” Your post made me happy
