A True Path of Self-Care

Self-care has been focused on what "feels good". There is a susceptibility in focusing progress on what you feel. It may create obsession, reactivity, fanaticism, and bingeing - that have become the anthem of doing something that brings a lot of pleasure.

Does it always? Of course not.

Pleasure is not a bad thing, but experiencing in ways that avoid long-term fulfillment by prioritizing short-term feelings can become slippery.

I have developed my craft of understanding people through a process of working to develop psychological well-being as indicated by a process called "psychological flexibility". It allows us to recognize how workable behaviors become unworkable, and how to get back on track by empowering people to understand their "self" with more depth.

This is what has brought me to Skool. To share the depth of this process by supporting people in deconstructing ideas that have been served inaccurately under the framework of what is good for you. I like the idea that people know what is best for them, but the pathway to uncovering that is an honest and committed pursuit that is often not easily accessible. I hope to change that.

I have come to school to take what I have learned in thousands of hours of working through challenging behaviors and psychological experiences to focus on a community that prioritizes conscious living, expanding awareness, and being the guide on their own path.

I contend that ATTENTION is our most valuable asset. If we do not understand it, and learn to cultivate it as a skill...then we will continue to misuse our time in repetitive and ways that are not as fulfilling. TIME becomes the most valuable asset, only when you build mastery of your ATTENTION.

ATTENTION is the first skill to master on the path to Expanding Awareness.

Awareness begins to illuminate behaviors, thoughts, and feelings - the switch has been flipped. You have turned the light on, and your awareness may dim at times and brighten at others, but you cannot unknowingly what that experience was like. The light is on.

Change that happens within awareness becomes practical and an incubator for applying knowledge, and creating wisdom, intentionally.

The norm is to do what is comfortable, and how to conform.

Those of us that don't - We're Different. We can connect over our differences.

How do you value your ATTENTION?

What are some techniques you use to manage your attention and cultivate your concentration?
