A goal - post?
Goals, anyone?
What is your goal? Do you even have a goal? Do you need a goal? I don’t think..so? I like goals! I am a coach! I can’t help it! Please have a goal? LOL! I KID! Well… Goals are really fun! A goal is like a post without a net at first. You see…wait with me here a minute as I explain this weird analogy that is coming in now…. At first! We see this thing. I think, I can have it! What a goal! It is a thing I desire! No nets! No ideas of how I can achieve it! No where to miss! Only a post? You know I mean you can’t miss it right? You can literally shoot ANYWHERE and you score - at first! At first? Well… we tend to overdo this thinking thing. You know? We just say YES! I am going to do this thing! Then we THINK… BUTs. Second post. BUTs… Hmmms. I can’t? I have to do it this way? Hmmmm. BUTs. LOTS OF BUTS and a BIG NET GOES IN and then! A giant Goal Tender is in there and their entire team is in there too! WHAT! WHAAA! No goals. No dreams. Right? Do you know this path? I hate this path! I mean it! But we all tend to do it…at times.
At times! We don’t need to but it can be a route! Towards anything we desire. We can still see the goalie and the net, which does keep us on task of course so there is no wrong way here, and we can still see both posts…. We can do it all! Why not make it as easy as we possibly can. Let’s put the goalie over there - just to the one side and leave us a shot.
We have this stage in our goals / development as humans - called UGH. I like to call it UGH because I heard this term in a great course I took a few years ago called BRAIN GYM! A part of our training in this course was to acknowledge this UGH phase which accompanies a new skill we are learning - typically. I say typically here because I don’t want to mislead you into thinking you will take an UGH route! Not needed! Just as beneficial, but not needed. We gain skills when we take a little step away mid UGH, re-address our route with clarity and ease and get at it again with a fresh set of eyes or legs or a clearer head! We learn best in little bits and then bigger bites as we progress! The science of skill acquisition is amazing! It is how we are wired! But sometimes…we need to “fall down” a bit or miss this net lol or even get stuck! Yes! Stuck! How else would we learn the thrill of desires! The taste of a sweeter juice when we know it is the path we really want in the ends! How else do we know how to get up and teach another the same? What in the world would we be doing if we were all magicians? Well…this is the goal, right? We need to learn! We need to take ourselves out from the last spot were were at and shake it all in and out and get back to it to find our routes and we need to learn that it is ok to UGH. UGH leads to OK and OK leads to YES OMG YEEHAW or anti-ughs:) and then…AHA!!! When we get it we get it.
YEEHAW! And cheers to finding ourselves even more connected to our goals and dreams with a good set of UGHS. Thanks to Brain Gym for this great teaching - and to so many psych courses that helped ME get unstuck:). Tooooo!
There are MANY awesome tools inside a Brain Gym Course. Happy to share. Stay tuned! Kinesiology meets motor control and learning and more! How we are wired can determine the JOY we feel. How we are wired can determine which paths are best for us! How we are wired can also instill even more confidence as we learn and grow through using the body-mind connection. Have at it! Let’s have some fun!
