Dear all,

Hope all of you are having a great start to the new year!

I find this time of the year is a wonderful time to practice the discipline of Personal Mastery. The January 2009 edition of the LOPN NewsFlash is dedicated to the theme of this discipline: http://www.lopn.net/NewsFlash.html

We hope you enjoy this.

With warm wishes for the New Year,

Sheila Damodaran

I was smiling as I was reading your examples. Really nice ones!

Warmly

> Dear Sheila,
> Thanks for the news flash which is a good reminder at the start of the year
> to really examine and, if need be, to get off the "default" settings of our
> lives. Personal mastery is really to live deliberately rather than a life
> by default.
>
> I like the metaphor borrowed from the computer world of default settings and
> one good question I like to ask of my coachees is what are your life's
> default settings and whether that it is working for you as you would like
> your life to be.
>
> For example, I find that I used to have a default setting of reading my
> emails everyday and yet have tons of them that remains in my inbox bothering
> me on things that needs doing and often re-reading them over the next day.
> This I have found saps up much of my psychic energy until I understood that
> using gmail I could simply archive and achieve a state of inbox zero at the
> end of every session - I now have a deliberate hour of attending to my
> emails every 2 days - that leaves me at peace without procrastinating and
> repeating myself without any loss of effectiveness (in fact after awhile,
> those who knows me and need to contact me urgently would now call me on the
> phone rather than email me!). Another default setting that I discover is
> that I must always finish my bowl of rice (in my family, a carry forward
> from the old days, uses really very big chinese bowls) placed before me
> until I decided a few years ago to change all my crockery at home to smaller
> bowls and now able to eat much lesser without missing much. These are just
> two simple examples to illustrate what I mean by unconscious default
> settings that we get locked into.
>
> Default settings like habits are good only if they are the way we want them
> to be and not because we are stuck with it either because we do not know we
> can change them or just not making the effort to do so.
>
> Do keep in communication as it is always a joy to hear from you.
>
> Best of wishes in your endeavors in Botswana and everything else in your
> life this new year.
