Today I am simplifying my professional ‘value proposition’
I’ve set myself up a document on my Drive, called ‘MEDS Checklist 2018 + Notes’, to prepare for my new dietary protocol. It captures research on the various diets. I’ve also given myself a new box for the MEDS today. The aid-memoir colour-coding signifies the following (I’m so Aspie…):
- Blue-Sky Meditation
- Exercise in the Sunshine-Yellow
- Leafy-Green Diet
- Stop-Sign Red for Sleep
Yesterday’s work on dopamine was so good. The realisation that dopamine comes from dropping the “I gotta” mindset, and shifting to “I wanna”. You have to follow your own bliss, not oblige someone else’s needs/wants/desires, to get the reward/achievement dopamine.
So, today. What do I want? I’ve had to spend the morning in bed with a sore throat and cold, but I will do my Daily PURR (Power-Up Rituals Routine – developed yesterday) next, and then do some work before I have a client meeting at 2pm. I started getting good momentum yesterday. I knocked through a lot. I want to continue that. What shall I bear in mind today?
Read a little of Reality Transurfing. It’s been a while. Good stimulus.
Today it was a description of the ‘Transaction’ exercise. What stands out for me is the practice of simultaneously boosting our energy (turning the key), and gazing gently upon the goal (or ‘target slide’).
So there is wisdom in ‘powering up’ the energy pathways (as you do in qigong and walking) and ‘powering down’ the analysing part of the mind.
I guess so. It’s the fact of calming the overactive mind, and settling the amygdala. While boosting the flow of energy through the body and meridians.
Do you have stuck energy in your meridians?
Yes! I’m sure I do. I need to walk and move and sweat and swim more.
Ah. Ok. Like you used to do (in 2016) before….
…before I started over-complicating my working life again! I really need to simplify what I do, don’t I? Yesterday I was looking at the simplified business model canvas exercise we developed for some students we are teaching. I need, and want, to apply it to myself, and get clear about what my offering is, who it is for, and what value it provides: i.e. my value proposition.
Lovely. Would you like to do that today then?
Yes. I would. Today I am simplifying my professional ‘value proposition’ – so that I can have freed up energy and time for self-care and health-creation and wellbeing…. so that I can be better at what I do professionally too.
Excellent. Time to Power-Up then. 🙂
Well ok then I will. 🙂 Ty.

I did do my ‘value proposition’ statement last night – using the exercise we designed for the student training later this week. It was a great exercise. Now I need to translate it into text, and then the brochure. So help me, goodness.
