You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effects.ĭid you know that one domino can bring down another domino that is 50% larger? Imagine what could be knocked down if each domino in a line were 50% bigger than the one before it. You want your achievements to add up, but that actually takes subtraction, not addition. You only have so much time and energy, so when you spread yourself out, you end up spread thin. That is, we must ignore all the things that we could do and only do the things we should do. The idea here is that success requires narrowly focusing our concentration.Įxtraordinary results are determined by how narrow your focus is. In fact, this question should be written in a very visible place in your workspace. What’s the One Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else would be easier or unnecessary? The authors proposes that we ask ourself this big question: Instead, we need to narrow our focus down to One Thing.īut how are we to narrow down ALL of the things we have to do to ONE Thing? This is the exact opposite of what will bring us success. In a nutshell, the book proposes that we each have so much going on in life – our mind is all over the place.

Circles of Healing, the Complete Guide to Healing with Massag... by Gwen Wendy Hammarstrom6/28/2023 Only the person holding the stick may speak. When that person is finished speaking, the talking stick is passed to the left (clockwise around the circle). A talking stick is held by the person who speaks (other sacred objects may also be used, including eagle feathers and fans). The circle starts with a prayer, usually by the person convening the circle, or by an elder, when an elder is involved. Healing circles take a variety of forms, 2, 3 but most basically, members sit in a circle to consider a problem or a question. 1 In North America, they are widely used among the First Nations people of Canada and among the many tribes of Native Americans in the US. Talking circles, peacemaking circles, or healing circles, as they are variously called, are deeply rooted in the traditional practices of indigenous people. |
