The Skill of ACCEPTANCE and why it is SO important to develop – Karl Morris #312

6/6/2024
The Skill of ACCEPTANCE and why it is SO important to develop – Karl Morris Why you will always fall short of your true capability without this skill Thanks for joining me on today’s Brain Booster which is a solo run from me. I wanted to take the opportunity to bring together some of the key concepts from the previous months and some of the recent guests. Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach? Join us for a wonderful three days in Manchester in November Get in touch at https://themindfactor.net/the-certification-course/ At the heart of so much of what we have been discussing is the SKILL of acceptance. If we are not willing to be ok with the variability of potential outcomes the game can throw at us then we will always be at less than our best. Acceptance is NOT resignation. We are not trying to pretend to be happy after a bad shot or a missed putt but we ARE willing to deal with the reality and move on So many people are sold the idea that this swing fix or this ‘secret’ will PROTECT them from a poor outcome yet in reality NOTHING will ever protect us from the need to develop a robust relationship to undesired outcomes Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach?

How to find success without losing yourself – Simon Mundie #309

People who have achieved what others may think as being the ‘ultimate’ experience Yet often he detected there was an underlying dissatisfaction Champion Thinking is a counter to the ‘success evangelism’ that is so prevalent. Typically, we think we’ll be happy when X happens (the job, house, relationship, World Cup win, Olympic gold medal). However, frequently people reach the top of their success Everest and feel underwhelmed or even empty. But the experience of flow is inherently enjoyable. Why is that? Because as thoughts about past and future drop away, so does our identity and sense of self. And we love it when that happens! The trophy is just a symbol of that moment. That’s why we love losing ourselves – in sport, music, conversation, books, dance – the portals are vast. While we think we want to become a ‘somebody’, we are happiest when we experience being ‘nobody’. On that level, we are always at peace, whole and fulfilled. The trick then is to embody this recognition, even when we are not 'in flow', and this book can show you how. This is a great conversation exploring some of the deeper topics around our experience.
