Gunning for growth
http://youtu.be/02gMmr9vitg
Just watched a video where the speaker implores us to embrace (just enough) challenge to give us a charge of growth. Truth be told, I took on a work task today that I never dealt with before, and it first it had me shaking. But after I figured it out in my usual systematic manner, I felt pretty darn good about myself. So even in the face of challenge, you would do well to ask yourself that classic question: What's in it for me?

Awesome vid. Loved the shout-out, I also like the way you really embraced not only the lesson of the "what's in it for me?", but your own involvement in it.
Responsibility. Something I'm learning in my quest with women and life in general recently.
Cheers.

Thanks again Sarge, and happy to have given you props. As for your own quest, I think that quote from Spiderman's uncle goes both ways: with great responsibility comes great power.

The confidence to influence
http://youtu.be/GhvvdKehfDM
With my coach as my guest, I asked how I could move from having confidence in my intelligence to having the guts to address situations with others that are tiring and irritating, without offending. My coach replied that rather than worrying about tip-toeing around eggshells, I should transcend calculated conversations and speak from the intention of everyone's well-being, i.e., a win-win situation.
Haven't watched many of your videos but I watched one and yes you have a good voice.
The first thing that hits me is 'wow he is very confident'.. so ASC is definately working for you. You have that chilled out, confident and composed vibe.

Thank you so much for the compliments Benjamin! That vibe has come a long way...it's like I've gone through a spiritual P90X to get here, and I just want to keep going.
I haven't mastered my time...yet, but I'm making a note to read some of your stuff (and that of SargeMaximus who commented before you) as well in the near future.
Bad news...so what?

Hot off the heels of my coach's visit I was faced with the task of having to report project delays to my boss and my client for reasons out of my control. My coach encouraged me to get it over with right away rather than procrastinate over the weekend as a manner of demonstrating my resilience in the face of setback. I did just that to both my boss and client, immediately following up both time with a proposal of a response that would mitigate the let down. Both times, I shut the phone unscathed and grasped that such setbacks are just more raw material to hone your confidence skills with.

Nice.. I like the comparision to P90x. Not that i've done the workout but I hear it's hardcore.
It will be interesting if you decide to do AM6 at some stage.
George, maybe you already said it, but looks like i'm not reading it.
How long you want to use this ASC?

Actually, I have quite the way to go. I mentioned in videos a while back that I had begun using ASC when I managed to procure the services of a Theta healer I had been recommended beforehand. I wrote or spoke to Shannon about it and he said, as you'd guess, don't mix - go with one or the other. And so, for several weeks now, my ASC has been on pause, and I have been talking about my healer in the videos pretty much after each time I go to see her. That said, I said in one of my videos that I'd like to continue the journal nonetheless so I could share my journey towards self-confidence, regardless of what tool I am using to obtain it.
Feelin' it

Obsessed with gaining more energy, I asked my Theta healer what single action I could take that would give me more of it. She said that the answer was racing up her throat before she could even finish her thought: "Think less, feel more." I could believe that. I have led my life with my brain, and when I let feelings come in, they are usually of things like fear, heartbreak, and depression from difficult circumstances. So I get pissed at them, wall them away, and become even MORE brain-dominant. So for once, I don' t have a definitive lesson to share. Instead, I just ask, out of curiosity, if allowing yourselves to feel more (rather than think more) led you to epiphanies and power.
Yep, Did you Journal before using this forum?

I've journalled on and off in the past, but only very briefly, for it never stuck. This forum gives me a feeling of accountability that has bred the most consistent practice I have had to date.
Don't want to? Then you have to.

The above was one of the parting messages given by my Theta healer on Saturday. I tried it out yesterday by sitting front row center at the improv theater, rather than hide out in the back. While the show was rather forgettable, I actually felt better connected to the community by virtue of being surrounded by everyone, both those I knew and those that were new. So without expecting it, I actually I got a little WIIFM from doing what I normally wouldn't.
