You and I "I figured this was just one more hairy episode. Next thing I know they find his boat drifting in the sea. Looking back, you think, well..." "I felt sorry for the kids. I couldn't do anything. But it's over with and you have to move on." Notice anything out of sync in the above examples of dialog? Here's a hint: they start out in first person but suddenly take a left turn and become second person. In case you've forgotten everything you ever were taught in high school about the structure of the English language, first person is "I" or "me" and second person is "you". Proper English isn't the issue here. Distancing, displacement, and dissociation are the issues. You see, when you're talking in first person, you're mentally and emotionally associated with what you're saying. You experience it first hand. When you talk in second person you become dissociated and distanced from the subject. It becomes the someone else's experience. Most often this switch occurs when the subject turns from being factual to being emotional, and especially if the emotions are being brought from the past to the present. In an effort to dissociate from possible uncomfortable feelings, often people switch into second person so quickly and slickly that no one - include them - notices. This robs the speaker of their complete experience and blocks the opportunity for them to gain new insights, perspectives, awareness, and knowledge about how the issue is affecting them. Clarity of language produces clarity of thought. Give yourself the gift of wholly experiencing your life. The next time you find yourself speaking in second person when you're truly talking about yourself, stop. Start over again and consciously talk in first person. You'll be amazed at the difference of your experience. Love, ps. Talking in second person when you're actually talking about yourself can also be very confusing. In the first example above, for instance, the speaker was looking back and thinking, but by using second person language it may make the listener think they have to look back, remember, and think about it. In the second example the listener may become confused and think it's time for them to move on. Astroarchetypes That's the name I've come up with for the new coaching tool. Thanks to everyone who's participated in this experiment so far. The experiences have been pretty amazing - new awarenesses, confirmations, and humorous insights. Although at times the archetypes seemed totally incorrect, after some discussion they were discovered to be amazingly accurate. The experiment's not over yet. There are still some charts to be completed. Then after a couple of weeks or so after the information settles and integrates, I'll do a follow-up. The results will be posted here, so stay tuned! Essential Oil of the Month
Winter isn't over yet, and neither is the chance of getting one of the super bugs that are being passed around. Immupower is a powerful anti-microbal, antiviral, antiseptic, and anti-infectious blend of pure, organic, therapeutic grade essential oils. It's anti-everythingbad! It strengthens immunity and DNA repair in the cells. I use this oil whenever I feel the first symptoms of a virus and it saved me from all but one of them this winter. Even so, I was less sick and for a mcuh shorter time than everyone else I talked to who had the same bug. Oils included in this blend are:
Suggestions of how to use it:
Remember, Young Living Essential Oils are 100% pure, therapeutic grade, organic essential oils. They have nothing added to them that dilutes their potency or their purity. They cost a bit more and they're worth it. They're not only more effective, they last longer because you don't need to use but a drop or two. Order online at www.youngliving.us. Please use my sponsor number 405708. Thank you. Build
Your Own Website Do you need a website but don't have the $$$ to hire a professional to do it? Do you want to build your own website but feel overwhelmed and don't know what to do first?
Building your own website can be rewarding in many ways - besides saving you lots of $$$. You'll gain valuable knowledge and will become more confident as you build your own website. And it needn't be difficult, stressful, or nerve-wracking. All you need are a few tools and some basic knowledge to create a website that looks as if a professional designed it.
During my 11 year career as a professional website designer I specialized in creating websites for soloprenuers and small businesses. I created Do It Yourself Websites so I could share my knowledge and wisdom with many more people, to empower them so they could create their own website.
Ready to get started? Here's an article that tells you how the professionals begin the process of creating websites. It'll get you started on the right track to designing a professional-looking website... one that you can be proud to tell others about.
