The Silver Lining of Sheltering in Place



My Gift to You at this Time 
Free Counseling and Coaching 

It's been almost a week since the people in America have been told to go home and shelter in place.  So like most everyone, that is what I am doing.  Then last night on the PBS News Hour, I saw Yo Yo Ma talking about and demonstrating his idea of playing music as a gift to people to help alleviate the stress of this whole thing.  He calls it Songs of compfort - see below for link .  So when I woke up this morning I thought that's the kind of thing I should do - so I am offering  my services to people as a gift during these stressful and uncertain times.  What I am offering is free counseling and coaching until the world rights itself back to a normal place.  I am setting aside two days a week to do this from 1 PM to 4 PM Mountain Standard Time on Wednesdays and Fridays until further notice.  I will chose people based on the email they send me.  I will chose those I feel I can help and whose challenge fits with my skills and talents and the mission of my work.      
Sheltering in Place is a Good Time to get in Touch with the Deeper Challenges of Life

Since my education and training and my work experience involves the issues of self actualization and life satisfaction which, as Freud said, are all about love and work, my special areas are relationships and careers.  I will help you develop a plan of action to make one or both of these two areas more satisfying and meaningful to you.  

Instead of focusing on the stress of this Pandemic, think about using this time, and time by the way, is always a gift - to create a plan to make some changes in your life.  I am here to help you with this so send me an email with your challenge and let's get started.  

It's my gift to you.  

Blessings,

Using Your Temerament During this Crisis

As we continue to deal with the Coronavirus, many of us are still S heltering in Place - I want to put out some ideas for weathering this storm. One of these is the idea that we need to remain who we are, at a deep level, and do what we do best, that is, what is natural for us.  Of course most of us will be doing this already, but I find that if we make a note of our temperament and use it to understand ourselves we can use this to make sure we are doing what is most important to us. When I work with groups I sort them into four groups - based on their temperament - and then I give them a problem to solve.  I then see how their temperament affects the solutions they propose.  I use the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to do this.  Here is a little short hand version of it: There are four temperaments within the MBTI:  Guardians - People of this type like to keep the world running smoothly - They are the community builders and they are responsible and cooperative.  They like t

The Wisdom and Positive Use of Anger

Image
This past weekend two more mass shootings happened.  This makes me angry!  Sitting in our homes watching another one of these stupid, horrific and unexplainable choices made by these young men flow out of our television screens or computes is something our intelligent nation has to do something about and we need to do it now!  We need to get angry about this!   We can't wait  until a new president is elected and we can't spend our time wringing our hands and hoping for the best.  The best is not happening, the worst is happening.  As a nation and as individual people we need to take some action.  We need to get off our butts and go do something. Now!!! Anger as Motivator When we get angry about something, that anger can and often does motivate us to take some kind of action.  If we are, as the name of this blog implies, learning, growing, and evolving people, then we need to use this anger in a positive and productive way.  Unlike the immature, mentally ill people who com
