Beach Walk 261 OTR – 2nd reaction is what counts

November 11, 2006 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Snap judgments are nearly impossible to avoid; focus on your second reaction.

It’s one thing to want to avoid snap judgments, but I think they are inevitable! What to do then? Well, being aware of the first reaction, and paying attention to the second reaction – that’s where we actually can direct our thoughts in the direction we want.

These first reactions usually result directly from a lack of information or understanding, and a long line of historical messages. Walk with me in Central Park as we talk more about this topic and my previous experience in the NY Marathon.

Many mahalos for Bill C. of reelsolid.tv for filming today’s episode with me.

Beach Walk 260 OTR – Filters – Good News, Bad News

November 10, 2006 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Our brains depend on being able to filter out enormous amounts of irrelevant stimuli; they also lump people into broad categories that are often inaccurate.

I like to read a person’s energy instead of being distracted by the surface to find out who s/he is.

I went to a nice “Open to the Public” park near my hotel today to film in the warm sunshine, only to be swept away by security guards. “It’s a public park but private property. You can’t film.”

So I thought quickly, and realized I hadn’t yet been to Central Park this trip, so I scurried over there and grabbed what I could of the lingering light, only to have weak batteries. Sorry about the poor sound – it’s rare on Beach Walks!

When I’m traveling, I am on my own – there is no Secret Cameraman, so I shoot, edit, encode, and upload these episodes myself. I don’t always carry all the extra spare parts. 🙂
