SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - MAKING BELIEVE?

Somehow we get fed a bunch of distortions about the nature of humans and human families is particular.

Happy People

Happy Families

Happy endings

Nice stories but they have a tendency to blind us to reality and set us up for so much disappointment and 'reality crashes'!

When we buy into these stories it's like wearing blinders to what is actually in front of us…until the moment we fall into that rabbit hole and have no choice!

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                           

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

REALITY -WHAT A CONCEPT!

Repeat after me:
Humans are not perfect - and that's reality!

Most of us have been strongly impacted by our history - and that's reality!

If we believe in the 'should' of perfection we often miss what is actually going on around us - AND THAT IS REALITY!

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - THE COST OF INNOCENCE

Being naïve is lauded in our songs … and might be nice in a moment… but is not a healthy life strategy!

In order to maintain this stance one has to ignore all the clues - remember that line:  "Oh, Grandma!  What big teeth you have!"

In our fairy tales this innocence and naivety is rewarded with the advent of the handsome prince or princess and the pot of gold.

Reality is closer to feeling gob smacked!  Would you really want to kiss a frog?   

  

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS           

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

Accepting real as a positive experience means:

*  Giving up on being a fairy prince or princess

*  Getting it that the guy couldn't really climb up that tower on Rapunzel's  hair      remember this one?

*  A kiss never turns a frog into a prince

*  Ants don't always win over grasshoppers

*  Helping others isn't always the way into their hearts

Now take any of those myths you grew up with and turn them on their heads and see what happens.

What do you feel?
