Free writing, what is free writing you ask?......I call it the art of writing, without writing whaa taaa lol the definition of free writing is The consequence [of writing] is that you must start by writing the wrong meanings in the wrong words ; but keep writing until you get to the right meanings in the right words. Only in the end will you know what you are saying.” —Peter Elbow Being a writer myself I never really came across this method of writing until recently, this morning my bestie asked me if I ever free write?, funny thing I remember about 6 months ago while speaking with another coach it was recommended I wake up at 5 in the morning and she called it by a different title however it was by right free write, on an A4 piece of paper just anything that came out of my head. Now let me go through this Free writing, this writing strategy was developed by Peter Elbow in 1973, and is similar to brainstorming but is written in sentence and paragraph form without stopping . I...

In today's era of public twerking, booty-bouncing and other in-your-face expressions of sensuality, it’s about time we had a new standard of sexy. Real sexiness is so much more than physical shape and form.  It’s more than style and its more than wardrobe, its even more than attitude and visible swag.  And it’s certainly more than the exposed skin to covered skin ratio depicted on today’s popular media channels. We are increasingly in desperate need of a more enduring standard, one that includes more than face and body – one that includes the shape and form of internal qualities, those that add joy and passion to life, those of heart, mind and soul. It's time to realize sexiness is more a state of mind – a collected, mindful state of being. The Up-Close-and-Personal Principle Have you ever seen someone across a crowded room you were immediately attracted to, approached them and got to know the person up close and personal, and then couldn’t remember for ...

Did you know that in the first seven seconds people often decide whether they do or don’t want to hear what you have to say.  It may not be fair – but it’s a fact.    I was reading another article about this and it prompt me to write this one myself.  At the end of the day it shouldn't really matter what people think about you however we are all human and it only works one way so, getting tricked by our inside out misunderstanding of where our feelings are coming from plays a big part in the way we live and choose to conduct our lives, knowing this, its always good to be prepared.   In How to Talk So People Listen, communication expert Sonya Hamlin says when it comes to hearing and seeing, sight is the more important and powerful sense. She writes: ‘We remember 85 to 90 per cent of what we see, but less than 15 per cent of what we hear, try to be an active listener. Countless numbers of people have lost sales opportunities, ruined job interviews, or ...

Hello everyone, hope you guys have had a lovely night last night, so since yesterday was Happy Valentines day my inspiration for writing this morning is, Love, yep that's right love but not any ole love, Self Love, because we all want and desire love however we all don't or misunderstand how to achieve that Love, especially myself. We've all heard the benefits of self - love and we know that self - love is something we need. The real question is how. How can we learn to love ourselves? How do we cultivate that deep, loving relationship with self? Being human we all face this challenge and quite often we misinterpret and misunderstood with the things that we choose to do to achieve what we think is self love, some people can misunderstand this by being selfish rather than selfless, Quotation · True love is selfless love - putting the needs of the other person ahead of your own but, in this case your self ahead of your self, make sense? when we speak to ourselves...

In my line of work, I hear from quite a few coaching clients. Through this experience, I've seen scores of behaviors that push people away from each other.  And I’ve witnessed the devastation these behaviors cause – to relationships, professional success, and to the well-being of both the individual behaving negatively, and to everyone in their life. Let’s be real - we’ve all acted in toxic, damaging ways at one time or another (none of us are immune to it) we are all human, but many people are more evolved, balanced, and aware, and it happens only rarely in their lives. Whether your toxic behavior is a common occurrence, or just a once in a blue moon phenomena, it’s critical for your happiness and success that you are able to recognize and be aware when you’re behaving badly, and shift it when it emerges. The six most common toxic behaviors I see are: 1.  Taking everything too personally. – People are toxic to be around when they believe that everything happ...

I remember coming across this book online about maybe 3 years ago. It was called Clarity, written by Jamie Smarte, now I don't remember much of what the book said in detail however, I do remember it did talk about the principles behind Clarity. And this is what lead me to the beginning of my understanding of the inside out nature of life. Hi my name is Nasir Brown and I've been studying the principles behind Clarity, the inside out nature of life for about 2 years now. It seems that we all struggle from the basis of 3 misunderstandings, a misunderstanding of where our feelings are coming from, a misunderstanding of who we are and a misunderstanding of what were up to in life. I'm going to touch on the 1st misunderstanding, a misunderstanding of where our feelings are coming from. Regardless of your current awareness or what you believe, there is only one way in which our experience of life works. And that’s inside out. What does inside out mean? What we exp...

Regardless of our age or social status, there will always be some difficult people out there who want nothing more than to bully and belittle us.  Sometimes they’re colleagues at work, sometimes they’re people in our neighborhoods, sometimes they’re those mean kids on the playground… And just as difficult people will always exist in the world, so too will our power to choose how we respond to them.  Do we let them make their pain our own?  Or do we choose to transform that pain into personal growth and strength?  Do we let them win?  Or do we choose to win? It’s hard to make wise choices in the heat of the moment.  But when we choose to win and transform pain into personal growth and strength, we aren’t just improving our own lives, we’re also improving the lives of the people we love, and the people who look up to us. With that said, however, sometimes handling difficult people—and “winning”—is, well, difficult!  I have worked over th...

The Principle of Thought is the crucial power behind life as we know it. If we did not have the ability to transform the pure energy of Mind into ideas and images — forms of perception — we could not see life. Thought as a Principle is simply the power that provides the impetus for our minds to communicate through the brain and the senses.  The Principle of Thought empowers thinking to happen. We put the formless into  forms, and whatever we create appears to be our life. Since all of us are doing this on our own, no one truly knows another’s life; we live in our own separate thought-created realities, using our own free will to choose what we make of the time and circumstances into which we are born. The ability to think our way through life is an extraordinary power — yet it is the essence of who we are, so we take it for granted. Most of the time, we don’t even recognize or appreciate that we are the thinkers, making up our lives moment-to-mo...
