NLP and golf

ok i havent like blogged for donkey days. haha wanted to blog but just sso shag everyday and so busy.

Anyway, I have started to learn golf!! yay! Have gone thru like 3 classes so far. 1st class is on 15/1/08 :)
Really starting to enjoy this game. The whole swing of the golf club. that feeling of 'seh-ness' haha really quite addictive. looking forward to my 4th lesson which the coach promise to be even more fun and where people will truly fall in love with this sport. :)

Anyway, i had a very very very refreshing and motivational weekend. Really many many many heartfelt thanks to Alex who arranged for the neuro linguistic workshop for us all. It's really so beneficial!!

After being an emo kid for like close to a year, it really feels soooo liberating!! to be FINALLY freed from all the lies and deceits of the society. The life coach is really really awesome too. The workshop has this really positive, motivational and very very emotionally up-lifting atmosphere. Makes u feel so comfortable with yourself.

Truly, this weekend has made a positive impact on me.

I have learnt more about enhancing my communication skills with others by reading others through eye cues and building rapport with others by mirroring subtly their body languages, about my representative system and how i learn best and how to communicate to the respective types of people, about my personality types and how to relate better to other personality types. Exercises like the perception positing exercise is really a handy tool in life for us to resolve all the conflicts of our heart.

But most of all, through writing my owwn eulogy i realised that i do love myself afterall. Being an emo kid, i thought i really hated myself. But as i write, it daunts on me that the fact that i harbour dreams for myself shows that i do believe in myself still and most of all i do love myself. Emo-ness sometimes really distort the way we see of ourselves. Anyway apart from this emotional exercise, the ring of power exercise as well as the last item of the workshop is really my biggest take away.

Truly, wat we perceive is wat is real. As i was talkin to my cousin yesterday, our society has been feedin us the wrong information and values since our childhood. The notion that if you fail in your studies, then you're good for nothing. the notion that if you stumble, then you're just a failure and loser. Our society is soooo elitist that it leave no room for anything other than the best, the creme of the crop. What rubbish. Pure nonsense! bulllshit! this is wat the world wannna psycho us into believing. This makes it alll the more important for we to know and to let others know that it's really not true!

The reframing exercise over the weekend is really inspirational. There is really no such thing as failure. We fail when we think we really fail. if not it's just a continuoues journey and process towards succeed. And indeed, failures are just gonna make my success all the more sweeter! Aww.. how sweet. haha. As we know that all these are bullshit, and that we're not failures so why should we act like a bunch of losers? No need to!! We're all winners in life.

Heck the world. I only have my Lord to answer to. And myself to not let down. So c'mon babe! All things positivie!! the Lord wants for us to find love , joy and peace in life! not frustration and stress. Let's not be weary anymore. And think positively.

The Law of attraction is also really encouraging. To me i think it's just all about positive thinking and the power of optimism. If you view all things as so beautiful, and not doubt anything, only then will you not restrict your own potential and box yourself up. So yes. let's alll be optimistic once more. it's not naive or ignorance. it's about empowering your mind with the courage to move ahead, to do what the Lord has called upon you to do.

So yupz, it is really so refreshing for me. To feel like i am borned again. that i am not a loser. Christ didnt want annyone to be loser. it is not meant to be so why shd it be? it's not to be so. We're all winners. As for grace vs. strive? Didnt the Lord teach us to have that spirit of excellence? that's it. we should strive to do our best, and leave it all to Him. His grace will see us through the process to reap the fruit of our labour.

Yupz, from now on everyday is a beautiful day. And i wanna start each day with a self-encouraging smile. To myself, JIA YOU!

for the coming cny, haha i really wanna go off to some where quiet and avoid all the visiting. Not to run away from my situation and circumstance, but to take time off to assimilate what i have learnt further and also to prevent others from crumblin all the effort that i have put in.

Anyway LOVE JOY PEACE. Smile cos everyday is beautiful.
