      My problem with Rhoberta's psychology when she points to "understanding" the roots of anger/rage as a route to healing is that it cannot produce freedom from your bondage. (I know this because I knew the emotional and spiritual roots of my rage for the full 25 years that I struggled with my it and that understanding didn't help me one bit. Only knowing "truth" can set you free. Understanding our past pain's roots doesn't produce truth or "freedom" from the pain. Only the truth that Jesus talks about at http://is.gd/NwDqOu can do that. gfp
  • trouble in relationships
  • We have to learn to manage incoming anger, too.

  • Anger is healthy. It is natural. It is a gift of perception, experience and biology

    Anger is one of the most powerful emotions and the most challenging one to manage for most people. Some of us can't "manage" it ...at all. At best, some of us can ONLY moderate our reaction to our amygdala's response to our perception of a violation of our so-called rights. That's why Essential #1 is so crucial. (I know because I fought a losing battle with anger/rage for over 25 years until recently when I re-discovered a truth that I had forgotten as a Jesus Follower. Yeh! We're NOT perfect ...just saved as someone said.)

  • conventional cholesterol values are next to useless. Tracking the right data is crucial.
  • most people don’t measure this
  • small LDL is the #1 most common cause for heart disease in the U.S., not “high cholesterol.” Wheat consumption increases small LDL particles; wheat elimination is the most powerful tool available for reduction of small LDL particles, particularly when combined with weight loss.
  • CRP and other measures of inflammation drop to the floor with wheat elimination.
  • Wheat products are a convenient source of indigestible fiber. But the idea that you must have whole grains from wheat to obtain sufficient fiber is pure fiction. There are plenty of other foods that are rich in fiber.
  • non-wheat fibers low in carbohydrates, especially flaxseed and chia.
  • They do not have any effect on blood sugar.
  • wheat consumption changes the bacterial composition of your intestinal tract. Taking a probiotic for a few weeks can provide organisms like lactobacillus and bifidobacterium that help regain normal bacterial populations.
  • So going wheat-free does not mean a lifetime of pushing and straining,

  • One potentially appropriate therapy for procrastination lies in teaching something akin to time management
  • it is desirable that not only that there should be an interval free from conscious thought on the particular problem concerned, but also that that interval should be so spent that nothing should interfere with the free working of the unconscious or partially unconscious processes of the mind. In those cases, the stage of incubation should include a large amount of actual mental relaxation"

  • 1. The Physical.
  • human beings operate best when we pulse between spending and renewing energy.
  • In our rush to get things done, it doesn't occur to most of us that intermittently renewing and refueling energy prevents us from relentlessly burning down our energy
  • The Emotional
  • most of us embrace the notion that confidence lies at the heart of success. Vulnerability and uncertainty are seen as signs of weakness. 
  • it feels dangerous to acknowledge our limitations and difficult to admit we don't know the answer, much less that we got something wrong.
  • Humility comes from the Latin word "humilitas" which translates as grounded, or from the earth.
  • The Mental
  • we've long worshipped at the altar of scientific method and observable facts and admired rigorous, analytic left-hemisphere thinking.
  • we've paid precious little attention to cultivating the more subjective, imaginative, and integrative capacities of the right hemisphere of our brain, which is visual rather than verbal, and capable of big intuitive leaps and creative breakthroughs. 
  • The ability to embrace both of these ways of thinking – to recognize that each is essential but neither is sufficient by itself – lies at the heart of whole brain thinking.
  • When we talk about spiritual energy, we mean the energy derived from serving a purpose larger than yourself.
  • far too few leaders in companies recognize the galvanizing impact of creating a shared and compelling sense of purpose
  • By contrast, we've found that people in professions such as health care, education, social work, and the military often run almost solely off spiritual energy.
  • Self-care is a prerequisite to being most effective on behalf of others.

  • The formula is based on one simple premise: We can get more money when we demonstrate that we've added more value. And we can add more value when we spend the majority of our time focusing on the work that the most senior leaders in the organization consider valuable. That is almost always work that increases revenue or profits, either short-term or long-term.
  • Make sure that the majority of your effort moves the organization further in those areas.
  • stay on the same page about what's important and how it's impacting the organization.
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • quantify the impact you're making
  • f your manager starts asking you to do things outside the top two or three things, push back and have a conversation about it
  • After about six months of this laser focus, you're ready to have another conversation with your manager to identify the impact you've had and prove that you've added tremendous value on the things that matter most.
  • That's good timing since most organizations are beginning to think through their departmental budgets and promotions around the six-month mark.
  • It's not a trick. It's in everyone's best interests.
  • even if it requires that you push back
  • ultimately you'll be more productive, your manager will be more productive, and the organization will be more productive.
  • That's money in the bank. It will make your job more secure and you more promotable.
  • During this year's compensation conversation, take whatever is given to you without negotiation.
  • There are always some things that are more important to do than other things. The problem is that most of us aren't clear about what those are,
  • Minimizing that noise is our opportunity
  • There's no question that we're all busier than ever before, but we often are not getting the most important things done.
  • The idea of immediate results is alluring.
  • It's the temptation of the lottery.
  • instant results are almost always unattainable.
  • It's not that I think people can't get raises right now. It's that if you haven't spent the last year laying the groundwork, it's highly unlikely that you'll be successful.

      If you're just entering the work force or applying for a new job, don't make the terrible mistake of 64% of college students who ask about their prospective empoyer's social media usage policies in the middle of their job interviews. Approximately 24% also foolishly say it would be a key factor in accepting the offer. If you want to use social media when you're supposed to be working, unless you're being hired to make business posts for you're empoyer, set up your own company because the business world is NOT going to accomodate your preferences on their dime!
  • Cisco recently published its Connected World Report, the results of which are quite shocking.
  • Out of 2,800 college students and young professionals under the age of 30 and hailing from 14 countries, approximately one in three said he/she would prioritize social media freedom, device flexibility and work mobility over salary in accepting a job offer.

      This is an incredible comment on the lack of wisdom and the sense of entitlement that too many parents of GenY's have inculcated in them, in my opinion. In 2012's and future difficult job markets where few will have the kinds of fulltime jobs prior generations had, this is unbelievably unwise.
  • A Generation Y and Facebook study done by Millennial Branding and Identified shows that Gen-Yers are using their personal networks and profiles as an extension of their professional personality. Even though they are using Facebook to mostly socialize with family and friends, they are inadvertently blending the two.

      And when you're asked to prove the value-added you are bringing to your organization by this currently ozymoronic blend, you'll be OK ONLY have you have solid, verifiable proof that you're adding value. Otherwise, you'll probably be fired! The market's full of others who will do it the way most CEOs still want it done ...without attitude or compalining. You can change your organization's culture when you are rewarded, for your value-adding in the way your boss wants it done, by being promoted to senior management. In the meantime: "Do it their way!" ...not Frank Sinatra's recommended "my way"!

      What's the big deal here! It's only members of GenAncient and too many empoyeees in bureaucracies and unions who stayed with one or two organizations thoughout their working life. I started work after University in 1966 and have changed career directions about 10 times even after setting up my own company in 1984 ...when many GenY's weren't even born!
  • If large corporations want to remain competitive, they need to aggressively recruit Gen-Y workers
    • Gary Patton
      Gary Patton on 28 Jan 12
       
      And if GenYs are S-M-A-R-T, they'll resist any allures to get into big business. Set up your own company and retain a measure of freedom. "Rich Dad" in Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad; Poor Dad" wass right on with his advice to students now and in the forseeable future. And if you don't know what that advice was, your in trouble in the 21st Century economy that I foresee.
  • These studies show that if companies want to retain young talent, they need to display trust in their young workforce and allow Gen-Yers to operate entrepreneurially within the corporation by giving them control over their time and activities.

      While I agree this is accurate for many young people who control their attitude and sense of entitlement, most senior managements don't buy this and they currently run the business world. So get over it for now if you want a job-job! Your best route however is: "Set up your own shop ASAP ..or get with the program!!" ~ gfp '42™
