SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - BACKTRACKING THE MOMENT
Despite many warnings to the contrary throughout our
lives -
"If
you do that, you'll…"
"If
you say that you'll…"
"If
you act that way…"
- we still often seem to experience what we do as discreet
segments of behavior rather than part of a chain reaction.
How many times do we wonder why someone acted in a
certain way or something happens to us, not recognizing the impact of our previous
steps in the dance?
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to
experiment with some fun
ideas...
Think about something that has puzzled you in the past - someone else's
behavior towards you or an event that happened that seemed to come out of
nowhere. It could be this week, or
sometime this past month, or even further into the past if it's still on your
mind.
Now imagine that you are a detective and you were hired to discover how
the event in question has come about.
* As a detective you look for clues that led up to the moment of the
'crime'.
* You look for the 'he said, she said' that occurred the day of the
incident, the day before, the week before.
* Your task is to track - but not blame - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
Objectivity is the name of the game. Drop the judgmental attitude and just investigate!
Have some fun with your new role...
The goal is for you to come to an "Ah ha! Now I get it"
moment.

THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF…
Most of us remember the story of the Boy Who Cried
Wolf. read the story
You remember, right? This Aesop's Fable was used to teach us all
the horrible consequences (all your sheep getting eaten…) of lying.
After playing verbal games and crying for help when
there was no danger, when the wolf actually shows up - yep, no body believes
the kid …
Perhaps another even more significant tag line to this
story might be about the consequences of all our actions.
Perplexed,
the boy in the story asks the villagers:
"Why didn't you come?"
We
often seem to be just as bewildered about the reactions we create with our
actions.
What do ya say?
Can
you think of times you were taken aback by someone's behavior towards you…
perhaps not realizing they were actually
re- acting … to you?
