Creating Action
Posted on June 6, 2007 in the Advanced I, In Class, ICA category
The topic of Monday’s class with Ton de Graaf was Creating Action. Now, before it’s even possible to encourage anyone to take action towards their goals, they have to be really committed to the desired outcome, and the discussion in class made it clear how important this is.
One student shared the story of how she had tried to lose weight and how difficult it was for her to get results when deep inside she wasn’t that attached to her goal. She was actually quite comfortable with her body and didn’t really feel the need to change.
Which, by the way, is great!
But, being part of a family where diseases related to overweight (like diabetes) were just too common, she knew she had to drop a few kilos. She just didn’t have the drive.
The great part of it was, that as soon as she connected emotionally with the reason for reaching her goal, she made great progress almost immediately.
The reason, BTW, came to her in the form of a nightmarish dream. Thanks A., for sharing your story!
