Playful Experiments with Structure
Manage episode 360127176 series 3390636
In this episode, I talk about approaching changes in out lives more playfully, by experimenting with them. This helps us bypass the resistance that comes from trying to create structure in our lives in more rigid ways, and gives us a chance to be really in tune with the benefits and best approaches that are best suited to each of us as individuals.
Here are the points I cover in this episode to make the best of this approach to achieving your goals:
1. Pick an area that is important to YOU personally, rather than something you "should" do, according to others. Ideally, start with something that feels exciting the first time at least, to build confidence in your ability to use this process, before tackling the worst or hardest thing in your life.
2. Pick a specific time window that feels long enough to be challenging in a good way, but not so long that it's daunting.
3. Pick a big enough piece of the issue to feel challenging, again in a good way, but not overwhelming.
4. Add in enjoyment to the process in whatever large and small ways you possibly can.
5. Be very clear on your parameters from the start, including what you will do when you face obstacles, and specifically what you will (or will not) do during the experiment time frame.
6. Find a way to bring awareness and/or accountability into the process, a way to check in during or at the end to evaluate your results and decide how you want to proceed now that you have that information.
