Common themes and possible lines of enquiry to take forward from my Blog and reflective journal.
I found so many of the points that came out of my review interesting. I asked myself the questions which were suggested in the Module handbook:
What in my industry do I Love or what makes me Excited, Sad, Angry, Confused.
This is what came out, although it may look a lot it has been condensed already.
Excited:
Finding my own voice
My new daily planner
Being the front runner or trend setter
Love:
Helping others and the idea of teaching others to better learn yourself
The Beliefs that people hold true
The “Another point of View” writing style
Angry:
Being told what I can/can’t do, being limited by people/situations
Sad:
That I still let thinking/over analysing get in the way of doing
That I’m still making the same mistakes as last year
Not always being honest with my feelings/self
Confused:
Why I think that being busier is better, Quantity over Quality?
What makes me push so hard/discontented?
Why do people self sabotage?
Why do I have Academic writing issues?
What do I want? What would I regret not having done if I died?
Why do people link self worth with failure/success, why are mistakes bad to some, not others?
Why am I resistant to change/close minded, why must I have all answers before I start things?
Why am I all questions and no answers, What does this mean, How can I use it?
Living in the now compared with planning for the future and controlling your present?
From this I have a leaning towards:
Finding my own voice – Who will listen, What do I want to say, How will I use it?
My new daily planner – How it developed, how it works, how to improve it, if it works for others.
Why do people think that busier is better - busy fools as the expression goes, rather than productive.
Why are some people more affected by failure and why does failure/ success define some people and not others.
Living in the now compared with planning for the future and controlling your present? – The balance of these I have wrestled with all my life.
The people who inspire me/I admire in these arenas are:
Anthony Robbins – Life coach and international motivational speaker
Richard Branson - Entrepreneur and visionary
Simon Zutshi - property expert and friend
Ekhart Tolle – Author of “The power of now”
Oprah Winfrey - business woman and talk show host
I hope to find other people who inspire as I explore these fields further.
Let me know if you are interested in any of the topics I have mentioned above or any of the material you see/hear on the above links. I would love to know if you like any of it.
Stay safe – Phil
Why do people self sabotage?- Totally agree with you! I asked (in my notes) Why do other people sabotage you?? I'll check out your links tomorrow. Thanks Phil!
ReplyDeletePs. I thought you might like to order some cupcakes as mini gifts for your guests(in case the cake runs out). I have a friend who does them.

Hi Phil,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could elaborate regarding your new daily planner? I have also come up with some strategies around my daily planning and organising. I'm really interested to see what you have come up with?
