This is from my UCP online coaching program at http://lvo3.com, and one of my favorite classes and exercises to teach. I love it cos you can do it at home, right now, and fix yo' self.

I get a lot of questions about how my online coaching program works, so rather than tell you, I'll just show you.

Since it's the holidays, it's time to give back. So check it out, and let me know what you think.

Today we are working with the podclass "Cut the Bullshit," an InnerGame podclass that teaches you what real rapport is, and how to find the strength in you that you've always had, the strength that no one else can teach you, the strength that makes you a great man.



1. Listen to the podclass here:

2. Make note of the sections that make sense, or raise questions for you.

3. Answer the following question:

Who do you really want to be? Who are you supposed to be. Your past is bullshit. Your story is bullshit. The only thing that's real is right now. The past and the future aren't here. All that's here is you now. So stnad in front of your mirror and tell that man the best things you see for his life right now.

It's sometimes hard to think of what makes us truly great, because we cling to our false humility and insecurity for protection. If we don't ask for too much, we can never be disappointed. And that's true. But it also means we can never be happy. List the things that you want for that man you see before you, that man who is, when you get right down to it, the only one who really cares about your own happiness, and tell him what you need to say.



4. Complete the following exercise:
Tell a girl something you have always been too shy to say. The rules are simple. It can be any girl. It can be your girlfriend, your mom, your friend, or even a new cute girl you meet on the street. Then tell her something that you keep private, but wish you could say and be understood. This doesn't need to be some crazy deep trauma, and it doesn't need to fix any problems. Hell, it could be as simple as talking to a cute girl and telling her, "you know, it's weird, but I'm a little nervous talking to you."

You want to be cool? Practice not being cool for one day. Cut the bullshit and be real.


5. Record your results and questions, and post them to get feedback and share what you've discovered.

6. Once you've done your homework, make sure you reward yourself. This is behavioral modification, and reward and positive re-inforcement are critical. If it just feels like work, you won't do it. If it feels like fun, you will.

Get some ice cream. Look at pictures of pretty girls. Sing in the shower to old Madonna songs. Whatever gets you off, do it... I won't judge you.

As always, have fun with it. It's a game. Have fun, damnit!

Peace,

Sean
