Change Nation: Gay Hendricks, part 1 (05/22/09)

Gay Hendricks, part 1 on Improving Relationships

Gay Hendricks of The Hendricks Institute discusses with Ariane his new book, The Big Leap, in this first of a two-part Change Nation. Gay says he realized in the 1970s that "almost everybody has an upper-limit thermostat setting on how much love and abundance and positive energy that they will allow themselves to feel." He focuses on helping anyone live at the level of personal genius. He begins by suggesting we should listen to the words we speak, works up to discussing our worthiness of being loved, and ends with the idea that we should commit to transcending our upper limits.

Terrific! Now, whenever I find myself worrying, I can recognize it as a sign that I'm touching an "upper limit."
I'll stop and question it. What's the upper limit I'm hitting here?
What do I love about it?
What is it keeping from me?
Do I really want to own responsibility for pushing through this limit? (It is usually something I've been asking for!) What/who will I become once I've transcended? Transcending is my choice - is this in alignment with my core values/identity in the world?
How can I transcend it?
Also, love that we don't "have" time; we "make" time for what we love!
Can't wait to hear Part 2 !
