I’m Alright Jack!

Tonight was my monthly mentoring call with fellow kinesiologists.  A number of them commented that technology was a pain for them.

They called out: things just not working; a massive distrust for tech and how our data is being used; a general dislike and a preference to go ‘old school’ with pen and paper and a range of other concerns thrown in too. 

I found myself slightly at odds to the consensus.

As I pondered this a quote came to mind (the internet struggled to give me a definitive answer as to who to attribute this to – so I am going to go with Rudyard Kipling)

“If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs—you probably don’t know what’s going on.”

So, I wonder – do I really understand and feel comfortable with tech, or am I the one that doesn’t know what’s going on?

It this point I am curious – are there any aspects of your life where you feel totally on top of the situation and find that others are losing their heads? 

Can you pinpoint why you are calm and confident?  If you can pinpoint it, Is there a way to channel that feeling in to situations where you are the one that is struggling?

Another aspect to this is when it can be hard to understand why someone else is stressing over a situation where you are in your comfort zone or happy place.  I know I have found myself at times (most likely with tech) where I find myself thinking ‘but this is soooooo easy – why don’t you get it…?’ (I try not to say this though!!!)

With some group kinesiology work this evening, we cleared the stress for everyone on the call – I wonder if it will make me even more in my happy place around tech 😉

To wrap up – it’s always wise to check in with yourself to make sure you have understood the situation – if you haven’t, ask someone ‘what’s going on’ and if you do understand – where possible share the knowledge and the calm, you never know what other learnings might occur when you are open to sharing your knowledge and understanding.

If you need some support with tech, do give me a shout – I am offering tech support these days, but I am also still clearing mental/emotional etc blocks with Kinesiology so grab a zoffee or book a session 😊
