I have noticed over the last week that the days are
getting longer. After all, it's officially February. Soon
the days will be warm and the plants will be green
again. New life amazes me again every
year.
As I wrote in my last e-mail I attending a
Brian Tracy teleseminar and I have put some of the
ideas I
shared with you into use. One of the things I want to
improve
this year is my ability as a musician. Some of you
know that I am a singer, but I have always wanted to
play piano. I have been sitting in on my daughter's
lessons and practicing haphazardly at best. Needless
to say, I have not come very far.
I long to be
competent playing piano. But you could ask what level
of competence. There are actually three levels of
competence. The first in unconscious incompetence.
That's where you don't know anything about a subject
and don't really know how incompetent you are. The
next level is conscious competence, which is how I
play the piano. I have to think about the notes, where
my hands go and what key I'm in. Yes, I can play, but
it's more work than enjoyment. The level of playing I
desire to get to is unconscious competence, where I
look at the notes and the key signature and I can play.
Like driving a car, I will not longer have to think about
everything having to do with playing piano. What will it
take to get to that level? Practice and commitment on
my part.
What do you want to accomplish? If it
is something you have never tried before, remember
you fit into the unconsciously incompetent level, but
only temporarily. Just keep practicing at whatever it is
you want to accomplish and you can achieve it.

Summary of "Understanding the New Children" - with Jennifer Crews.
Authentic individuals
Have you ever thought that your child was very different
than you were at the same age? I have, many times!
Jennifer Crews offered insight into today's children to
help
us as adults relate to them better. Whether you call
the Indigo Children, Crystal Children or have given
them some other label, they are amazing! The New
Children engage in their world energetically first, then
physically. They arrived in the world able to absorb
learning easily. Since they are fast learners, they
become bored before we finish explaining. Does that
sound familiar?
Jennifer suggested that a
child's behavior is a form of communication and a way
of telling us about that something is wrong with
a "system", such as:
- Immune system - it's either strong or weak
- Digestive system - is there a type of food that may
be causing problems?
- Regulatory (nervous) system - what primary
element will help calm them - water, rock, wood?
- Relational system - how do they see people, what
is an individual's energy telling them?
- Self-expression - how do they express
themselves, is it though writing, dance or art?
- Nature connection - are they "nature deficient",
would some outside time help?
- Connection with the "energy grid" - do they need to
connect more with the energy in the world?
If your child is struggling, try to discover
which system is upset and then work with your child to
fix it. For more information, you can check Jennifer's
