The Answer is Right There…

 


It was cool watching the “Aha Moments” on people’s faces when they really get something.

We’re seeing it in our classes, seminars and in the PeaceWalker Evolution Course!

I know you experience this too…

You’re working with someone who is new at something that you’re good at. You see them struggling with the same things that you excel at…

But then there’s a shift…

They have an epiphany, they see how one of those mundane, simple, basic principles connect to solving one of their bigger problems. You see the light go on. The look on their face is unmistakable as they have a moment of success.

Simple. No?

Learning how to protect yourself and deal with conflict is a lot like that.

The simple stuff IS the advanced stuff.

The simple stuff IS the effective stuff.

Sometimes in our minds desire to learn and consume information, it begins make things overly complicated.

Now, don’t get me wrong there are a lot of complicated things out there in the world… However protecting yourself and dealing with conflicts inside of and around you shouldn’t be.

Often times it’s profoundly simple. Once you know the formula, it quite easy. It’s like once you see it, you can’t un-see it!

You have to have patience with those who you are sharing the formula with, because simple isn’t always easy. The answer is often right in front of them, but they just don’t have the eyes to see it yet.

Learning the basics to the point of (relative) mastery.

Understanding how to apply those basics in an effective way.

Seeing the importance of basics (of whatever you’re doing), often takes time. Why? Because people just don’t see what they don’t see. It often take some personal experience for them to start putting the pieces together and seeing the how and why behind the set of basics they are learning.

The Advanced Stuff Is Simply…

The Basics done really well. That’s the secret of mastering anything.

The real question is how do you stay the path until you start to see the correlations?

Simple.

  • Learn to enjoy the journey.

  • Trust the process.

  • Train yourself to appreciate the little things.

  • Stay curious.

  • Work hard but, keep it playful.

  • Yes, there are times to be serious, but still be light hearted.

  • Learn to balance the Light & Dark, the Heavy & Light.

This will help you get through those tough times easier and appreciate the good times more.

What Secret Sauce?!

When it comes to protecting yourself, dealing with conflict and learning to lead a more powerful Life, I share that entire framework in my flagship program, PeaceWalker Evolution Course…

But, unless you are already in this years course, you’re outta luck at the moment…

Although…

What you CAN do Right Now is… …

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...
