The Original Nightmare Before Christmas

 



The Nightmare Before Xmas?!?


.Let’s talk about Krampus, the original nightmare before Christmas!
.
Krampus is the evil version of Santa Claus.
.
He is a half goat/half demon looking thing in chains, with a long pointed tongue and razor sharp fangs. Instead of bringing good kids presents, his job is to punish naughty children with everything from swatting them with birch branches to drowning, eating, and dragging them down to the pit of hell.
.
The Krampus legend originated in the Germanic regions of the Alps as a tale to encourage children to behave. According to Christian lore, Krampus was conquered by St. Nicholas, he demanded their obedience (apparently there was more than one!?) making them part of his legion.
.
Whatever they are, trust me when we tell you, only the mind of Stephen King or Clive Barker could conjure creatures more nightmarish.
.
Anyway, ‘ol Krampy also visits PeaceWalkers too!
.
And, he (figuratively) dispenses the same punishment on the naughty ones.
.
What kind of naughty PeaceWalkers?
.
Well, for example, folks that:

.
* Don’t work toward Most Good / Least Harm for everyone.

* Who aren't keeping up on their training. 

* Protectors who are protecting the wrong things, like money, their ego's or misguided agendas.

* Folks who procrastinate starting their protector journey altogether.

* Excuses! Krampus LOVES punishing folks w/excuses!

* People who think and act like victims. (It's the fiery pits for you...)

* Spend all their time & money learning stuff that just won't work in the real world

* Even those who are working on really effective tactics, but not rounding out their training to include ethics, verbal negotiation, a force continuum, or protecting others. (It's a big ol' piece of coal for you too!)

* Or those who never bother learning from the old school guys who've been there / done that when it comes to training and application.

* Armchair know-it-all's who get all of their training from youtube. Are big on opinion and trolling, but short on actual experience.

* PeaceWalker's who don’t invest the first hour of each day into their own Mission and success.

* Mindlessly chase training "hacks" instead of learning & mastering the fundamentals.


The list drags on and on through the cold wintery woods…

Anyway, Krampus is Out There Right Now! Skimming the shadows. Seeking those PeaceWalkers to punish.

So, if you’re engaging in any of the naughty activities above, then God help you.
Because nobody else will…

But, there is a way to keep Krampus at bay.  (if it’s not too late already!)

If you're already a Private PeaceWalker Member, breathe easy, you're safe!

HOWEVER...

If you're not yet, you only have until TOMORROW, to rectify your evil neglectful ways...

Get on my free home study course NOW or succumb to the fate Krampus has for your!

Here's the link:


It may save you and it always puts the fear of God into ol' Krampy should he come stalking you.

But hurry, you're running out of time! Krampus is checking his naughty list and you would be wise not to be on it!


Keep going,
~Craig

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
