Workshop Outline

Values and Attitudes that Stimulate (and Sustain) Transformation

First, there must be a desire for transformation.

  • Trans - Across -beyond, through. The "trans" in transformation highlights the idea that for change to occur in behavior, barriers must be crossed and movement must take place.
  • Formation - Something is being formed. A new form is emerging within us. Change is taking place in an intrinsic environment where the roots of change are nurtured and allowed to grow naturally.
  1. There is movement from the head to the heart.
  2. Then there is movement from the heart to the hand (habit and practice).

Without an end-goal of transformation in mind, behavioral change will not take place.

Then, there must be a strategy for stimulation and sustainability of change.

  • Transformation Stimulated - Consider the strategies, systems, rewards, and patterns necessary to stimulate desire and energy for change.
  • Sustainability - It is not enough to reach a goal of change once. Transformation requires a re-ordering of factors that reinforce behavior over the long haul.
  1. Environment.
  2. Internal rewards.
  3. External rewards.
  4. Beliefs.

Finally, there must be a coorrelation between values and attitudes as moderated by our beliefs.

  • Values - Values constitute our responses to truth and principles.
  • Attitudes - This could also be described as mindset - how we are predisposed to respond rather than to react based upon what we believe about our values and the circumstances of our lives.

ATTITUDE - ATT&T - IT - U - DE

  1. AT&T - Communication and self-talk. We must take control of our internal dialogue.
  2. IT - We have to ask in every situation, "What is the IT of it?"
  3. U - Your attitude is really up to YOU.
  4. DE - We need to DEcide to DEny certain patterns, habits, and attitudes. This includes any number of words that start with DE.

Make it plural with an S for SUPERMAN - How did Superman ever figure out his limits or lack thereof?

A Ripple in Time

I avoided an accident the other day and commented to my passenger that we had just created a ripple in time - a new universe, parallel to our own, without us in it. The theory is that every either or choice creates such a new dimension of reality based upon the millions of choices made every second. So many would be indistinguishable from our own, but this new one, had I not swerved to the right, would have been significantly different as far as we and our families would be concerned. It is probably scientific hogwash, but it is great science fiction and a thought that propels other thoughts. What universe of possibilities are you living in? It is all about your choices. this or that?
