WonderTech Response Ability Exercises
Observation Series These are key life skills. They determine how you will and will not respond relative to anything that does or does not occur in life. The gain you can obtain from doing these drills is unlimited. It will forever remain unlimited. The more you fully embrace the basic and key understandings delineated in the WonderCourse materials, the more valuable these exercises will become. I recommend that you return to them monthly and do them again. You will be the one who benefits and you will be the one with relationships that get better and better forever. Drill Number 1
- Noticing What You Create in Response to What Occurs A key first step in mastering relationships is contained in a willingness to become acutely and consciously aware of what you create in response to what you see and hear. This drill is a fundamental step in that direction. Study each step before you do it. know exactly what you are going to do and then do it. If you lose track of what you were doing and wander off into doing something else, restudy the drill and begin again. Part A Take three deep enjoyable breaths and go for a walk alone. Walk slowly and casually. Practice just looking at the environment. Put your attention on looking instead of thinking. Do this for five to ten minutes. Part B Now, as you continue to walk slowly and casually, notice how you respond to the things you see. Note if you see them as good or bad, beautiful or ugly, boring or just OK. Pay close attention to what you think in response to what you see. Let go, as best you can, of any impulse to judge or analize what you see. Let go of any impulse to judge yourself for any response you have. Simply become familiar with your responses and let them be OK. Let them be one of the valid ways one can respond to what one sees. Part C Take twenty minutes out of your day and simply note your responses to what occurs and does not occur. For the most part you will be an observer, not a talker or participator. Normally it is much more difficult to accurately note your responses when you are engaged in an activity or conversation. After some degree of practice you will become able to do this. However, for now simply be an observer and note your responses. Once again let go of any impulse to judge or evaluate your responses. Simply see them as one of the valid response one can have. However, if you do find yourself judging yourself or another, simply note that also and, for the duration of this exercise, let that be OK. The first key step in deliberately creating yourself to be in closer synchronous harmony with your ideal versions of yourself, is to gain the willingness and ability to see and accept who and what you are relative to what does and does not occur in your life. If you do these things, you will evolve into a situation where you effortlessly get more and more of the life you want. May you have everything that you wish to have happen actually happen, and may you discover your innate ability to enjoy everything that does and does not happen.
