Thank you

Thank you to everyone who has visited my new blog/website. I have received a lot of positive feedback and I appreciate your support.

This past week, I conducted a presentation reviewing the concept of "Immunity to Change" developed by Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey. The presentation went very well and I hope to do more soon. I will add a post in the near future detailing the concept of "Immunity to Change", it is very interesting and has changed my life.

Finally, I learned an interesting visualization technique this week from a book about Tao sports (I'm trying to learn more about increase my focus during running). This visualization exercise illustrates how the body's central nervous system (the birth place of stress) is disconnected from reality. Try this: Close your eyes. Imagine a juicy, sour lemon in front of you. Now, slice a wedge from the lemon. Place the wedge in your mouth. Bit down on the lemon wedge. Feel the sour juices run through your mouth. Open your eyes. Did you pucker up or salivate? Isn't that interesting? Our bodies respond to the sour juices even if they are not real! Now just think about the impacts negative thoughts and worrying has on our body. Sometimes the greatest stress we feel comes from us and has less to do with the outside world (reality).

Have a great week, and let me know how this exercise works for you.
