Challenge: Impress No One

6/20/2013

0 Comments

 
Pay attention to your motivation.

Why did you just do what you did?

How often do we do things just to impress someone? How about to prove ourselves?

My challenge for you is this: Impress no one.

Be yourself, your full self and then you will impress others naturally and you won’t really care that they are impressed.
It will be irrelevant to you.
Impress no one with your clothes, your appearance, your possessions, your words or thoughts.

Relate to them honestly without needing to impress them.

Now, I challenge you to do this on Facebook, as well.

All the best,
Don

Ways to a Calmer Life

Who here has done CranioSacral or had it done to them? Go ahead and raise your hand.

How would you describe it?

Not quite massage, he gently pulls on your joints and twists your body so that your muscles, ligaments and tendons are all working the way they were intended to work. I swear I am an inch or two taller after this work. I walk better, stand taller and am like Jello.

I go to Dr. Joseph Schmidlin 585 309-8744. 16 N Goodman St  (He has a second office in Boston) Pretty certain he would give a better explanation, so go ahead ask him yourself.

It seems to help reset your nervous system, is incredibly relaxing and he is a wonderful conversationalist and a great listener while he is working your body to relax it even deeper.

I really look forward to going and my body feels better for days afterward. I have introduced my kids and wife to it, because it feels so great and who doesn’t want a calmer life?

It is great self-care!

Keep Your New Relationship Safe From the Primary Partner

Going back to last week's post-  Lack of disclosure is one thing, then there is an affair. “Affair” is when you build a wall around the new relationship to keep it safe from the primary partner. This includes the emotional affair as well as a physical affair.

The potential cheater begins to distrust the partner. You read that right.

The more distance from your mate, the less you trust them, even though you are the one cheating. Makes sense doesn’t it? You are pushing them away, not able to tune into them and we tend to assume that other people are doing what we are doing and thinking what we are thinking.

Gottman writes, “if you think your partner would be uncomfortable watching your interactions with this person, or be upset by the confidences you have shared, the closeness is dangerous.”

A good friend told me he was taught to avoid situations that could even lead to this, even if they ap
