I’ve been thinking about the Stress Reduction Challenge based on some emails and responses I’ve had. And I think maybe I made a mistake. Actually a couple of mistakes.

I would like to mention about the recent blogs that you put online which always inspire me so much that I would fall into it as a way to dissolve my unhappiness. Those blogs are magnificent. I like them because they really touched my soul. Thank you sincerely for doing that for us.

I’ve only listened to the first 12 minutes (no time till the weekend for the full 90 mins.), and already I have an insight that explains something I’ve been missing. Part of my struggle has been doing something with the insights that should be game changers, but often don’t move me ahead in a way I would expect. In other words; knowing what’s wrong and still staying stuck with it. Just a comment from Rob about 10 mins. into the recording cleared up why that cycle exists for me. Listen yourself, but in summary he noted that ‘if you have nothing more important to strive for in your life, than to understand and remove the negatives, the mere desire to change won’t be strong enough to outweigh that motivation’. I took that to mean that you have a better chance of “moving on”, when you are careful to make what’s ahead more important than what’s behind. I’ve spent far more time looking back. It’s no wonder it’s become far greater than the life I want. I just have never put any meaningful and persistent action into chasing it in concrete ways. In thinking I needed to figure out and rectify first, I was never developing the foundation to build the life I wished for on. It seems logical that if ones primary focus is where you want to go and who you want to become, that the past which often seems to have so much power, would play a lesser role in the perception of self. I’ve got to chew on this.

It might be moaning about their Spouse, their work or telling you about their latest model plane. And everytime you try to change the subject, they [...]
