Stuck?

What is stuck?

We all know, yet the answer is illusive. It can be an unfinished item on a ToDo list, a postponed decision for no apparent reason, an inappropriate reaction to a momentary thought, or the abrupt interruption of feelings of incompetence, unworthiness or foolishness. It often is far worse.

Move!

Stuck? Move!

What is Move!? It is innate skill. It is how: Experience modifies beliefs created by old experience. It quiets distress, elaborates our values and develops valuable intuitions about ourselves and the world around.

It happens continuously without effort or conscious thought. We can improve our skills and give conscious direction to our motion.

"But I Can't"

Stuck? Move! “But I Can’t”

When we can’t, we are stuck in an unchanging experience. Because it never changes, it proves a narrow truth. We experience these narrow truths as limiting beliefs. How do I set unchanging experiences in motion and dispel limiting beliefs? Move!

Furies! - The Struggle For Growth

Furies! The Struggle for Growth answers three major questions:

Why do some memories torment us?
Why do they persist?
Can personal growth transform them?

Furies! deepens our intuitions about person growth. We will feel strengthening courage and a clearer understanding of our core values.

Personal growth creates who we are - the self we might be proud of, have respect for and feel uplifted by. As we confront our own Furies, we deepen our relationship with the self we have grown to be.

Paul Ekman's Advice To Tim Roth

Psychology Today talk to Tim Roth
About Lie To Me and Paul Ekman

Paul Ekman is one of my favorite neuroscientists. Lie To Me is my favorite TV show. I have great regard for Tim Roth after crying through The Legend Of 1900.

Tim Roth’s money quote from the article:

I asked [Paul Ekman], "How do you feel about yourself? Does it make you self-conscious?" He said, "No, no, you have to remember, I'm not on stage—everyone else around me is."

That's the best piece of advice I got from him. I can be relaxed; I can be tense if I want to give off tension; I can be playing games constantly. But really I'm not the performer—everyone around the character is, and they're under scrutiny by him.

And if you haven’t see The Legend Of 1900 and you like jazz, piano, and a great story, you should watch this movie. It inspires. Highly recommended.

Where was this wisdom when I was trying to get into drama in high school. I sure could have used it. Sigh.
