Do you know someone who is notably intent on getting things done and being productive? Do they use mental or physical lists to control their waking hours? Most healthy adults and kids want to do (accomplish) certain things in the near future, and - ideally - long-range. Normal modular personalities include a Manager subself which specializes in providing motivation and drive ("energy") to "get things done now." Do you usually have such motivation? In harmonious personalities led by a true Self, this Achiever subself is very valuable. Typical survivors of low-nurturance childhoods develop personalities ruled by re-active Inner Children and their Guardian subselves. That can mean (a) their Achiever and related Guardians become too powerful (a "Type A" or driven personality), or (b) the Achiever is squelched by other subselves, causing apathy, boredom, self-indul-gence, and living without a long-term purpose. The first of these usually results from overactive subselves like a Shamed Child, Scared Child, Perfectionist, Controller, Inner Critic, Competitor, and Catastrophizer. The second probably indicates upset Inner Children activating intense Critic, Skeptic / Pessimist, Cynic / Doubter, Wor-rier, Rebel, Addict, Magician, and Anesthetist subselves. In both cases, these sub-selves distrust or ignore the vision and wisdom of the wise Manager subselves. Project 1 here offers an effective way to improve either scenario by rebalancing subselves under the wise guidance of your true Self and nurturing Higher Power. Signs of this occurring are a person (a) wanting to balance achieving useful things with nourishing periods of rest, self-growth, and play; and (b) feeling more serene and satisfied ("happy") more often. Do you know anyone who is intentionally attain-ing this priceless balance and inner peace? Are you? If you could talk with your busy Pusher/ Achiever subself, what would you want to praise or request? more detail / Q&A / slides / Lesson-1 guidebook and links / exercise / close |
