You can say you don't care
but I would argue that focusing on the head space and validating emotional responses has unintended consequences.
how would you argue that ?

being in the present moment
by definition
is the consequence

where is this 'unintended consequence' ?

and if you can find one thats expressible

present moment awareness
would be the best place to meet it from

you'd reckon

and

emotional responses
are in no need of being validated

they already are

before mind games are added to them

what the emotional response needs
is integration
not pushed back down
like some ... weird bad naughty unbloke like thing

and mind games
aren't needed for that part of the journey either

just the courage
to take responsibility
for ones own ... emotional response

there's a really simple but effective modality
for that work

.... concentrate (softly) on your out breath

and don't run away
when you have an emotional response

its ok
to be a bloke

I think

If my head is in the future = anxiety
If my head is in the past = depression
If my head is in the present = beer and pizzas and then more beer and pizzas

Intention is released and flies away into the sun!

What was it all for anyway?

the below is corrupted wisdom

the weeping and gnashing bit

is US

poor little earthlings

somewhat , sort of obviously , freshly dead

('n regardless of righteous /unrighteous tendencies)

bemoaning that yet again
we pissed 'the' opportunity away


The phrase "(there shall be) weeping and gnashing of teeth" (in the original Greek ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων) appears seven times in the New Testament as a description on the fate of the unrighteous ones at the conclusion of the age.

its not that hard

you worried that Lyon will get another runners-up trophy?
Better than “GTs” trophy cabinet..
At least the office staff were unmolested during GT’s time.
All the love for the tosser is hard to understand!
77 more games and will pass Eade as the coach with most games without a flag, hope Carlton give him the four years required!
I think GT molested the whole club.....but if I can get a flag ..I’m prepared to offer you up as the office staffer

For the love of god can we please not turn this thread about our current Assistant Coaches into another pi$$ing contest between Two coached who departed more than 10 years ago. It gets a bit boring after a while.

I love these conversations but i am evil contrarian - mostly to myself. My own civil war. And language is usually weapon of choice.

So what is 'not thinking' supposed to mean.

Emotional response area guarantee...is taking responsibility rationalizing? Because one is never alone. You could be in a prison, or at a party, at a job interview or in court or dealing with some horrible Railway Ticket Inspector dressed up in the latest Waffen SS uniform pointing the book at you.

Whatever works for them
I’m all for it because it’s just part of their routine and not anything aimed at the opposition like the ridiculous Adelaide Crows Power Ranger tactic

Actually, I apologize Asiu for my flippant and throwaway response earlier, you make a good point...
Yep, development is the reason..and it has its own rewards, not just for you (me) but for everyone.

Sorry for the folks not into out existential thang here..back to the topic of assistant coaches...

..we have to acknowledge that this maybe Ratts's first opportunity to really choose someone he wants. Or does it not work like that?

no mate

none of that

its an .... allowance

ie

let it arise
(u just observe)
don't add 'story'

its like your bobbing safely in the ocean


the swell (intensity) lifts

peaks

then falls away


it was /is just a wave (of held electrical charge)
that

arose
(had its moment in the sun)
then fell away


Your task
is to stay mentally quiet
emotionally (electrically) open

and observe

its coming 'n going

same process


calm
quiet
allow
observe

breathe

repeat process

like i said ... its not hard

Moving along, regarding a new High Performance Fitness guru, Andrew Russell from Carlton has been mentioned and he would be a very good choice.

My thoughts go to a St Kilda guru - Sean Dempster. He has a great reputation in this fitness area. His record of being a Saints person, 200+ AFL games and previously employed by the Saints until finance cut-backs seems a great fit. He would have a lot of credibility with the players.

Thoughts??
