And What About Trust? - Perhaps closeness and trust are not created by how much personal information people share. Perhaps they are created when two people successfully shift into a more open and free state together and learn that they can return there safely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/507e2e5c-1b71-45c2-ab28-57cd8fe7cc92/blog+photos+%289%29.png Blog - Is Closeness a Form of State Change?

And What About Trust? - True intimacy and trust don’t come from disclosure alone, but from the repeated, shared experience of shifting into open, responsive states together.

Mental Wellness Without Movement? - Many people may not know that Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was a neurologist. That means he had training and understanding of how the brain and nervous system function. Freud later became a major influence on modern psychotherapy through his ideas about psychoanalysis and what came to be called “the talking cure.” But here’s something many people haven’t considered deeply: Freud didn’t exercise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/0dc555b1-c25c-4b1f-b8c2-7184d72cb350/blog+photos+%282%29.jpg Blog - Freud Had a Couch Not an Exercise Plan: Seriously? Mental Wellness Without Movement? - By contrast, William James (1842–1910), a formative influence on modern psychology, participated in a wide variety of physical pursuits: tennis, skating, bicycling, horseback riding, and mountain climbing. Like early figures in the physical culture movement, James turned to exercise to address early struggles with illness. It’s no surprise that James’s psychological theories pay attention to the impact of physical sensation on the mind, while in Freud’s work, mental processes take center stage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/94c74f2d-07d3-4971-a005-9de9a0e41397/blog+photos+%282%29.png Blog - Freud Had a Couch Not an Exercise Plan: Seriously? Mental Wellness Without Movement? - For anyone who has intentionally manipulated diet to impact body composition - lowering body fat, building muscle, or both - the effects on mood and energy are self-evident. At low levels of body fat, irritability, fatigue, low motivation, and emotional fluctuations aren’t just side effects; they are part of the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/ead687a4-9bef-440c-a6bb-b5249ad2e075/blog+photos+%281%29.png Blog - Freud Had a Couch Not an Exercise Plan: Seriously?

Or weeping. Elara tried to convince herself it was just her imagination, but the unease pressed heavier on her chest with each passing day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/079bce1d-b329-462c-b666-62db0dea2514/elara+ghost+story+%282%29.jpg Blog - Elara Aletheia and the Healer's Council - One morning, feeling overwhelmed, Elara sought out Nara, her fellow healer, in the village’s small herb garden.

It may be you were on the wrong floor when you tried to get an idea across or the deal done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/2e804d48-5fa6-4f0b-af0d-b23a4cfc15ed/emotion.jpg Blog - The Communication Elevator: Communicate Better and Be More Effective in Life and Negotiations Before we look at a typical scenario that comes up often, start by considering the the model of people as an iceberg.

These states are constantly shifting, the same way elevators are often in motion. The thoughts, ideas, and energy states available to us in one emotional state aren’t necessarily available in another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/5759eecc-ff4a-42f3-929f-c62d744e0b03/emotion+%282%29.jpg Blog - The Communication Elevator: Communicate Better and Be More Effective in Life and Negotiations You can compare this to stretching: at the beginning of a stretch, there’s very little movement, and a person is confident about their ability to stretch further.

And even enjoy it more. Sure, they had a vague notion, but that's like the difference between knowing algebra has something to do with math and having the ability to figure out polynomials. It's a big difference in understanding. And it reflects the struggle that many folks have to see the connection between training and solving the problems they want to solve in life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/6eda80f1-510c-4245-bc86-b63b4ece9e4d/Images+for+Registration+Page+Session+Days+%2823%29.jpg Blog - Training with Exercise Is a Magic Golden Goose - Approaching exercise and training in a way where it just kind of seems like work and there's some vague idea that maybe it's something that one should do and that somehow it might help, often leads to poor and mediocre performance and results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/a63e2d21-5093-485b-a237-8d222405b029/34.jpg Blog - Training with Exercise Is a Magic Golden Goose - In training, we often talk about building “a quality.” It's kind of a vague word, but “quality” means something like: Strength Endurance Flexibility https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/eb5ecfd2-7990-4e4b-9375-3431551e5a11/35.jpg Blog - Training with Exercise Is a Magic Golden Goose - Sure. You can build strength and endurance playing sports. But not in the same calculated way as when you're in a training session.

It's a time to just play the game and have fun and experience what that's like. But technique days were days where I wasn't so focused on how the exercise was going to make me feel or the game itself, but to really break down the technique and work on the skill. Separate Technique Days and Game Days https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6632acdda63cdc24d0ce7445/c17e55a4-609a-4664-84ba-de7671b6f1cb/Images+for+Registration+Page+Session+Days+%2826%29.jpg Blog - Training with Exercise Is a Magic Golden Goose - Training relies on the skillful use of time and effort.
