Module 4: Living in Your Zone of Genius
Mastering the 3 P’s

This session shines a light on a particularly troublesome area of life – one that saps the energy of many creative people. Most of us have one or more of these crystallized patterns that keep recurring, often in spite of our best efforts to eliminate them. A pattern of repeated conflict or self-criticism, for example, can consume the very energy needed to fuel our creative projects. In this module, you’ll experience a new way to clear up your own self-limiting patterns by exploring the 3 P’s: Punishment, Prevention and Protection as well as self-sabotaging symptoms that are usually motivated by deep, unconscious needs.

Module 5: Mastering Time
Making the Shift from Newtonian to Einstein Time

You’ll discover:

How to structure your day and week to optimize your creative output
Effective ways to deal with interruptions, distractions and difficult interactions in a time-efficient manner
Powerful techniques for working in a state of effortlessness and flow to fulfill your life work with passion and renewable energy
How to soar into the open spaces of your Zone of Genius – the critical place where time moves at exactly the pace we need

Nowhere is the Upper Limit Problem more observable than in our close relationships. Whether at home or at work, the quality of your relationships is determined by your ability to spot your Upper Limit Problems and move through them gracefully.

1. Moments of Discovering the Upper Limit Problem in My Own Life

Long before Gay ever thought of writing a book about it, he began to catch glimpses of the Upper Limit Problem in three areas of his life: relationships, health and finances. In these bonus sessions, Gay will share the details of several specific moments, to illustrate how the Upper Limit Problem follows the same progression regardless of the area of life in which it shows up.

2. Unity vs. Individuation: A Relationship Dynamic That Triggers Upper Limit Problems

The groundbreaking work of Margaret Mahler in developmental psychology sheds light on a particularly thorny aspect of relationships: unity and individuation. Dr. Mahler contended that the first year of child development was important in understanding adult intimate relationships. The first six months of life is concerned with union, closeness and nurturing. At around six months when we begin to crawl, we develop an urge to individuate, to become our own, to explore the world on our own. Dr. Mahler’s insight is that adult humans go through a similar oscillation of union and individuation in their relationships. If you understand how this process works in your close relationships, you are better able to navigate getting close and becoming your own person simultaneously rather than stumbling over the fears that precede the appearance of an upper limit.
