对超级生活教练蒂姆·布朗森的采访

在过去的几个月中,我很幸运能够与我遇到过的最有趣,最有趣,最出色的教练之一合作。我无法到达他,所以我请蒂姆·布朗森(Tim Brownson)进行采访。

只是在开玩笑!!(我试图使蒂姆的伟大机智无济于事。)

蒂姆是那个教练,还有更多。他经营个人发展博客,大胆的冒险,他有一个清单impressive credentials如果您想进一步了解他。

蒂姆(Tim)最近曾担任习惯课程的客座专家(我与Leo Babauta和Katie Tallo一起经营)。课程参与者与他教给他们的知识相关,以至于我知道我必须在这里与您分享一些蒂姆的智慧。

我问了蒂姆(Tim)关于他的个人发展哲学的一些亮点以及他作为生活教练的教会的一些问题。

蒂姆,您可以与我的读者分享关于使积极而大胆的生活变得更好的基础概念?

蒂姆:有意识。这听起来很明显,而且在许多方面都是如此,但是这是许多人不考虑的自我发展的一个方面,而那些通常不会培养它的人。

从进化的角度来看,您的大脑执行部分(大脑皮层)是造成思想,语言,意识和记忆力的原因,是品牌打屁股的新事物,而不是很节能。

On the other hand most of the rest of your brain, especially the limbic system, which controls your emotions and habits, is very old and can easily run all day on auto-pilot, requiring little or no input from you at the conscious level.

Consequently, changing behavior requires effort and consciousness/正念because, without those two things, your brain starts to conserve energy and slips back into familiar patterns of behavior.

如果您不能意识到自己想要做出最好的意图的变化,可能会浪费浪费,因为哺乳动物和爬行动物的大脑部分更喜欢保留现状。

一旦我们变得有意识和正念,我们应该利用有意识的意识来改变或改进的第一件事是什么?

蒂姆:使用它开始承担个人责任。这是许多人完全错误的个人发展的一个方面。

在七年的教练中,我从来没有一个客户告诉我,他们在殴打自己时的表现更好 - 从来没有!

个人责任甚至与给自己艰难时期相同。实际上,它们是极地对立的。

Giving yourself a hard time shows a lack of personal responsibility because it demonstrates a lack of care for yourself. How responsible is it to beat yourself up, especially when you know it seldom changes behavior?

Taking personal responsibility means accepting your mistakes and learning from them without judging them and/or rehashing them in your mind again and again and again.

Being kind to yourself doesn’t mean being easy on yourself, so do it!

您写了很多有关核心价值观的文章。实际上,您已经写了一本关于它们的书。为什么它们如此重要?

蒂姆:Values define who you are, they define what you do and they define your life. Therefore, if you don’t know what your core values are, you don’t truly know yourself.

我专门与那些陷入生活中的人一起工作,这几乎总是归结为他们不与自己的核心价值保持一致。

如果“家庭”是您的头号价值,那么您每周都不应该工作100个小时 - 无论您如何根据需要为您的儿童大学基金来构图或为配偶支付假期。

同样,如果您高度重视“诚信”和“诚实”,那么请不要写那篇文章,声称所有帖子在您的世界中都很出色。同样,不要将办公室胶水带回家,也不要为他人的工作而获得信誉。

以上所有这些都可以提供短期修复(尤其是胶水),但是从长远来看,与您的价值观不符,这感觉是错误的,并导致长期不幸。

On the other hand, being in alignment with your values feels a lot like the flow state (although technically speaking I realize it’s not the same), and life seems easy and much more enjoyable.

了解您的价值观,然后与Pronto保持一致!

我绝对同意,与您的核心价值观保持一致,对于成为一个快乐和平衡的人至关重要。但是,您的核心价值观对生命有哪些实际应用?

蒂姆:They help you define exactly what success means to you. This springs directly out of knowing your values, because it’s tricky to define what success looks like to you without knowing your values.

太多的人追逐甚至不是自己的成功版本。也许是他们的父母,也许是媒体驱动的社会价值观,或者也许就是他们认为成功应该的样子。

更多的钱,更高的地位,更多的财产等是成功的迹象。但是,那些拥有这些东西但深深不满意的人怎么能真正成功呢?

我对成功人士的个人定义是快乐的人。我们所有人都希望幸福,因此要获得幸福,必须表明成功的水平很高。

但是,您的定义可能完全不同,这很酷。但是,如果您不知道它是什么,那么您将如何知道呢?

You teach your coaching clients many interesting techniques for taking control of their thoughts and behaviors in order to make positive change. Can you share one of those with us?

蒂姆:Reframing is probably the single best technique I know for allowing you to rapidly improve the quality of your life.

一个倒影只是在消极的情况下寻找积极方面。它的表现不像Pollyanna,也不是妄想,因为您永远不会改变活动,只是您看待它的方式。

When a reporter once asked Thomas Edison how it felt to have failed 10,000 times before creating the light bulb, he responded by saying, “I didn’t fail, I just found 10,000 ways that didn’t work.”

现在,这就是我所说的重建!爱迪生是妄想的,还是他决定如何看待一种情况以使他感到更加有能力?

A client canceling at the last minute can be a bummer for me, but I always reframe it as an opportunity to do some writing, clear up some admin, or even take the dogs for a walk.

居住在负面方面很容易 - 任何人都可以做到这一点。但是,当您采用相反的方法时,感觉会好多了。

In fact, reframing has now been proven using MRI’s and PET scans to change the physiology of the brain, in a good way.

您能解释您所教的方法以设定目标以及它们与您的核心价值观如何相关吗?

Goal setting isn’t hard, in fact you or I could teach our readers how to set goals in under an hour.

我使用的方法是您可能熟悉的智能方法的扩展版本。

Specific: Too many people have vague goals, and vague goals are seldom achieved they need to be nailed on.

可衡量:If you can’t measure it, you can’t track your progress, and you can never know where you are in relation to hitting your target.

Action-oriented:您必须做某事,否则这只是一个愿望,而不是目标。

实际的:I’m not ever so keen on this because I like unrealistic goals. So to me this just means make sure your goal is physically possible.

时间限制:Your end date can (and often should) be flexible, but you still have to have one. Otherwise your goals will slip because next week, next month, next year will always do.

然后,我添加ER使其更聪明。

“ E”代表“生态学”或“环境”。我的意思是,您应该认识到您的目标追求对周围人的影响。如果您有四个孩子,一个配偶和巨大的抵押贷款,那么在世界各地背包旅行的目标两年可能不会飞。

The “R” part means “Reward” — in other words, what’s in it for you when you hit your goal?

这必须是基于价值的,所以我不是在谈论金钱或物质财产。比这更深入,不断问自己:“这给我什么给我什么”,直到最终您将获得真正的回报。

如果/当事情变得艰难,你focu转变s to the reward and the reason why you’re doing whatever it is you’re doing. That’s going to motivate you to dig deeper.

基于有意义的目标的设定已被科学地证明可以提高整体幸福感,我想您会喜欢其中的一些,对吗?

您对我的读者有最后的建议或见解吗?

蒂姆:Have fun and smile . . . a lot!

约翰·列侬(John Lennon)曾经说过:“当人们制定其他计划时,生活就是这样。”他是对的。

据我所知,并尊重任何正在阅读本文的印度教徒的人,我们只对此称为“生命”。我们永远不知道什么时候一切都结束了。

因此,不要过分地认真对待生活,只要有可能,请微笑,并对自己和他人保持友善。引用另一个死去的摇滚明星吉姆·莫里森(Jim Morrison):“这里没有人活着。”

非常感谢蒂姆(Tim)提供了令人惊讶的有用的教练见解和策略,以重新创造自己,以更充分和真实地生活。如果您对Tim有任何疑问,请在下面的评论中询问他们。

11个关于“与超级生活教练蒂姆·布朗森的采访”的想法

  1. 感谢巴里的采访,并感谢蒂姆的这些教练掘金。重新制定似乎是一个不错的起点。但这有时可能很困难……头脑回到同一旧框架,有时新框架似乎不适合。我想需要练习。

    回复
  2. 始终欣赏并享受蒂姆的博客和智慧!And humor – he’s like the David Letterman of life coaching (minus the goofy hair and New York nightly studio broadcast to millions of people around the world) One of his skills is his ability to take extremely boring or complex concepts and apply it to people’s lives in a humorous way.

    我认为,与自己的真实价值观保持一致是在生活中幸福和成功的真实方法。很多时候,我们在不知道为什么并发现自己不开心的情况下做事。检查价值是过着更充实和幸福的生活的关键。

    尽管蒂姆认为我们只能在人生中获得一枪,但我认为“下一生”的教练可以在他们到达那里之前帮助很多人。

  3. Thanks a lot Vishnu I really appreciate the kind words mate!

    我已经获得了下一生的教练版权,所以也感谢。当我的第一百万卷成一团时,我会把你扔给你

  4. 很棒的采访巴里。

    If it wasn’t for Tim Brownson, I would probably still be in my comfortable, well paid, 9-5 job, staring at a computer screen all day.

    现在,我在家中担任自由撰稿人。

    I’m broke, scared, and I’m still staring at a computer screen all day but at least I can talk to the cat when I’m lonely!

    Seriously though, it was one comment from Tim that changed how I thought about my life a couple of years ago and snapped me out of my ‘analysis paralysis’. It sounds so simple and obvious but it was exactly what I needed to hear at the time:

    “您正在做的事情不起作用,因为您不满意。那你为什么不尝试一些不同的东西呢?”

    这让我意识到我需要摆脱舒适区,并在一边尝试一些不同类型的工作,因此,在今年年初,我能够从公务员工作中自愿冗余,以了解知识我可以作为自由职业者上班。

    我还没有破产,这是一个重要的优势,但最重要的是,我确实更加快乐。

    p.s. one of my top 5 values was ‘freedom’.

    回复
    • Appreciate the kind words mate, thanks.

      尽管我怀疑我说:“是什么阻止您尝试不同的事情?”因为我几乎从不使用恐惧的原因!

  5. 这是一个很好的面试,我就一定要莎尔e it around as it succinctly describes all the good stuff I got out of my own coaching sessions with Tim. The single most important work we did together was to identify my values and anti-values. This helped me to understand how they could be my rock when making important decisions or working out why I didn’t feel quite right or was down right angry and frustrated with certain situations. I now understand why I get that flutter in the gut when I’m out of sync with my values or what I am facing is in conflict with those values. And reframing – great way to explain it as I’ve always looked on the positive side and suffered at times to Pollyanna criticism, by suggestions that to look to the positive in a definitely unfair situation is a sign of weakness. Now I know I’m on the side of right! What is right for me. Great read, and Tim you deserve the Super title. Barrie, I’m looking forward to getting to know you better via your blog.

  6. This is a great interview. I’ll be sure to share it around as it succinctly describes all the good stuff I got out of my own coaching sessions with Tim. The most important work we did together was on my values and anti-values. They are now my rock in making important decisions or understanding why I feel out of sync or frustrated or angry with a situation, it is because what is happening is in conflict with my values. And reframing – thanks for the explanation. I naturally look on the positive side of situations and that has attracted Pollyanna criticism some of the time, or a suggestion that it is weak to see positive in what may definitely be an unfair situation. I now know I am on the side of right! What is right for me! You deserve that Super title, Tim. And Barrie, thank you for the opportunity to meet you via this interview, I hope to get to know you better via your blog.
