Ready to Learn?

What does living masterfully look like?

Readiness to process lifeshocks and learn from them.

"Sometimes life looks like a maze with no exits. The maze is in my head. And there is always a way out." K. Bradford Brown

Practice: The way out begins with noticing that you are caught up in your reaction to a lifeshock (or a series of them!). What is your stand toward your lifeshocks? Are you standing ready to learn from them?

When you notice your reactions, practice identifying the lifeshock.

What does living masterfully look like?

The ability to be satisfied with what you are currently doing.

"Drudgery is a state of mind, not the task we refuse to enjoy." K. Bradford Brown

Practice: Pick some task or chore that you usually approach as drudgery. What does your mind have to say about that task? See what happens if you simply choose to enjoy it.

Remembering and Coming to Life

What does living masterfully look like?

An ability to Self-Remember on a constant basis.

"There are no extraordinary moments. Only moments when we come to life...or don't." K. Bradford Brown

Practice: When you recognize that you've had a lifeshock, you have a choice. You can remember who you are and 'come to life' or you can lose your Self in your reaction.

Noticing is the beginning of Self-Remembering, of being 'above the line', living in that connecting space. What are your cues that you are caught up in your reactions to your lifeshocks? [Hint: notice physical cues, emotional cues, language either spoken or in your mind, and behavior] Once you notice, the choice is yours!
