Not Having to Know so Much

NOT HAVING TO KNOW SO MUCH

Hey good man, here with an Authentic Talk Note today. We were processing in group the idea of not having to know so much. Maybe there's something that's not so fruitful about planning for the future and always worrying about what happened in the past and trying to learn and grow and become these basically achievers.

And the guys that want to have everything figured out and all of us are kind of having that tendency we get removed from our human beings and we start planning and worry more about the knowledge and what we can gain from our life.

How we can grow? What difference can we make in our own life and in others that we forget how to be? We forget how to be still and enjoy the moment? And as far as I can tell that's what living is.

And that's kind of we were processing a group was “man we are gonna miss out on life if we're constantly letting our brain take us away from our body, soul and spirit and not and enjoying each moment for what it is.” “Yeah there's goodness and being able to see into the future who do I want to be in 10 years”

And saying “yeah that's something I really want to incorporate in my life.” However don't forget who you are right now is good and there's goodness all around us, that we can embrace every single day, every single moment of every single day.

CALL FOR AUTHENTICITY!

So let's not forget to enjoy the journey the Call For Authenticity today is, let's put a little emphasis on being, not so much about what we're gonna get done or what we've gotten done in the past and using that as something that we're learning from to grow or definitely how I do again but let's let's do let's take today, let's take moments and really Stoke it up.

CIRCLE OF RELATIONSHIPS & S.P.I.E.S!

See what's going on around you and be present as far as your Circle Of Relationships go. This big Number One and it has a huge impact and the things that we engage in, really to be available, be present in the moment to the people and the things that were engaged in.

As far as the S.P.I.E.S go, really looking at this is a big spiritual health that we don't have to always be achieving, but we can be okay with our spirit, our soul, we can be still. I think that's really good and then intellectually; really being careful that we're not just worried about the knowledge, just about the knowing, but we're getting in touch with that spirit as well. All right guys there's your ATN for today I hope you have a very present and being day.

Working on Yourself

WORKING ON YOURSELF

Hey good man, here with an Authentic Talk Note. One of the guys is processing in group that he's committed to marriage counseling with his significant other. This is something he was not really all that interested in doing, because of what their marriage has amounted to up to.

This point and he said “he'd rather just kind of walk” and Steady's gotten involved in group and in his own journey and found that he wants to find that his health is what is leading the way, rather than his fear of potentially this relationship causing him pain for him again, if they get back together.

He said “I'm going to get healthy and then I'll go from there.” Well just recently he's started to kind of feel that health and now that he's committed to say “I'm gonna get in the room with my significant other and talk about these issues and see if we can work them out.”

He said “I'm now finding that I'm falling back into old coping mechanisms and a kind of surface level.” he said “in my life is kind of turning into fluff, I find myself really drawn to sports and more light things.”

“There's nothing wrong with these things.” He said “but more of a coping mechanism that it is actually something that I'm wanting to engage in a more.” He said “I feel that avoidance, I feel like I'm missing out on something” and he is really just finding a way to be in this and say “I don't just because I'm committed to work on the marriage doesn't mean that it's going to have all this pressure tied to it and whatever was has to be and and I can't stand up for myself and everything changes.”

He said “it's really kind of been difficult to see, how is my growth gonna re-enter this relationship. If it can?” and he said “that's scary because I've never been here before, but we all really rallied and said “it’s fantastic that you're acknowledging this and that you're okay with the fact that you see that you're coping with things, rather than getting real and you feel like your life's turning to fluff.”

You said “you know that's a huge thing to celebrate and then not to put yourself in such restrictions that now, you've committed to work on the relationship, that you don't have the freedom to continue to operate out of health and that you have to sacrifice yourself but now it's a journey to find the way how you both get healthy?

CALL TO AUTHENTICITY!

And maybe that leads to a healthy relationship. So Called To Authenticity here. Get healthy, then make healthy decisions and get people around you to help you sustain that health so you don't go back to old habits.

We as a culture are fantastic and going back to old habits. There's so many things we can have this moment that distract us and keep us coping through life, rather than really engaging and getting intimate with our significant others.

CIRCLE OF RELATIONSHIPS & S.P.I.E.S!

So as far as Circle Of Relationships go. It's a big Number One. We're doing an inside job here work on ourselves and how that's gonna impact our Number Twos, our significant others? As far as the S.P.I.E.S go, really look at emotional health here.

How are we allowing our emotions to be in the room, but not controlling and driving us as soon as we start to commit to intimate relationships? So that's your ATN for today. Let's not be afraid of the help, that we've created and started to come to know, but let's continue to use that as a fluid process and also trust the process. There's your ATN for today, I hope you have a great one. We'll talk to you next time.
