Stuck in a moment, how to get out of it
If there’s something that lack of clarity reproduces that’s lack of traction, action and clear direction of our movement. Obviously we can also say that unclear direction, restless attitude and erratic movement is conducive to lack of clarity in our thinking. It is quite clear that both of these elements are interrelated and that they work together in many possible combinations. There are also others aspects at play, like how do we relate with others and how do we fit in our environment in those moments, that we will explore in later posts.
How I faced conflict, what worked for me and a practice for you
You might recall my recent entrye I shared with you how I was leaving for later some conflicting situations I previously committed to address. I had made the goal to work on a challenging area this year -work relationships and wholehearted culture in the health club- and since this was somewhat conflicting and challenging I was simply avoiding it and keeping it for later.
As I shared, this had an impact in me: I felt drained in energy because what I was not facing I was carrying with me, over my shoulders. If the events and situations I was not facing were growing in dimension so was the weight on my shoulders. So simply there was a moment in which looking away was absolutely counterproductive, unhealthy, and very heavy and painful to me. I knew I had to do something.
Conteplate what's next
Sometimes in our lives it is good to seat down and just contemplate our life journey so far.
We live in a moment in time where everything just happens too fast. Were we are fully booked with interesting, exciting and lovable commitments and responsibilities. read more...
Facing or postponing
As soon as I wrote last post entry I begin to experience two sensations that have been dancing with me since then.
For one I felt completely satisfied with my roadmap, excited to have all those projects ahead of me, and I felt eager to begin surfing that wonderful wave. I was thriving because I felt full, just by thinking, honoring and beginning to work in all of them. A rush of energy run through me from morning to late evenings, my mind was focus and I was joyous.
On the other hand... read more...
Balancing my heart passions
It’s been a long summer or enjoying family -my two wonderful girls and wife-, breaking the crazy pace and re-charging myself with sun baths and physical practices on the beach. I feel the abundance of joy and serenity resting in my heart and they sparkle as I re-visit the memories of the good moments of this summer.
I feel full and ready.
Follow your purpose and everything will follow
Recently I have read a very interesting article (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/06/opinion/sunday/the-secret-of-effective-motivation.html?smid=pl-share&_r=0) from Amy Wrzesniewski (an associate professor of organizational behavior at the Yale School of Management) and Barry Schwartz (a professor of psychology at Swarthmore College)
What you fear and Hide
Unleashing your potential, bringing forward you who you are, stepping forward with the whole of you…This is not just a self-fantasy or an illusion to keep you longing for something different, to distract you from your pains and aches, while waiting for greater times to miraculously come knocking at the door.
Through the body
I have been working with the body, mostly about its fitness and performance, most of my life. In fact I still do so, adding new nuances, as I currently teach my Yoga, Pilates and as I recommend physical practices to my clients.
What are the new nuances that are added in my understanding of the body and applied to the physical practices?
Learning to Stop
We are busy. Ok, we are extra busy!
For some of us, we simply live life fast forward: errands, projects, meetings, hobbies… all seems to be squeezed in. It turns out not that difficult, that we do not enjoy what we are doing, because we are thinking about what is next and worrying for what we leave behind undone…
About life
Life is many things.
Some we kind of want more of it, some we would like to avoid at all cost.
Despite all is life. Now, here for all of us.
How we attend what comes makes a radical shift in how we come to experience it, weather it is something we might originally placed at one column or the other.
