Introduction All descriptions of the movements on this page are the sole property and work of John Thomas Kooz. Originally this page was simply a list of all the music that appeared in audio blog snippets (as intros or outros usually) around the Validate Your Life Network, but I have extended it so that it [...] “Because if you are like most people, then like most people, you don’t know you’re like most people. Science has given us a lot of facts about the average person, and one of hte most reliable of these facts is that hte average person doesnt’ see herself [or himself] as average. Most studnets see themselves [...] This is easily one of the most important posts (out of over 500) that I have ever written and recorded. As someone who has suffered from chronic indecision and the consequential doubt and incapacitation caused by indecision, this is one of my most personally helpful posts, but anyone will benefit from this. Even if you [...] The Ways I work. One of the ways I’ve noticed I do things is by deciding to do something else and then randomly changing it AND scheduling something ahead of time. This is complex, but it amazingly works. First off, I was plagued by scheduling things on a calendar and then 90% of the time [...] PIVOT is yet another VYL-Created technique. It’s very catchy, considerably more complex than SPS (rightfully so given intention of SPS!), and cognitively caters to how the brain works, ensuring that the neo-cortex quickly picks up and absorbs the functionality of this technique. In other words, this technique has been designed to be “appetizing” for [...] The Meditative Gadget While many of his techniques and superbly incomparable skills of deduction and observation were certainly accomplished with invisible tools, it was obvious that Sherlock Holmes relaxed and sharpened his razor-sharp mind while playing the violin. Watson knew that Holmes was in a meditative trance of higher clearer, cleaner thinking when practicing his [...] When we create a capacity for knowing ourselves –how we operate and function — we create sincerity about who we really are, and this self-knowledge allows us to apply ourselves with greater vehemence. Science-fiction writer, Douglas Adams points out that we find our images of what we call evil things outside ourselves, in creatures that [...] I have been working on, collecting, archiving, nit-picking and amending this growing list of british words and phrases I love for many years. All that data was in a simple text file, and just recently decided to throw it in a mindmap (much clearer to visually access the information) and share the british phrases I [...] “Download and Cognitively Install” code by listening to hours and hours of audiobooks on a topic (pua, code, math, neuroscience, nautical astronautics) installing a cognitive operating system. It’s like my brain is a hard drive, I just install what I want on it. Occasionally reformat it (wipe it) and then install more things. I CERTAINLY do have a thing with “pleasures”. I only herald sophisticated pleasures but I don’t even call them nor think of them as pleasures, because they aren’t; they’re evolutions. Strands of evolutions. Photo-reading great books is an evolution. Playing, appreciating, and listening to classical music is an evolution. Gaming is an evolution. Coding in [...] Recipe for Trust: Take consistency. Then stir in love and mix in value. Add zeal for flavor. (Note: Kittens help with this recipe!) – John Thomas “Kooz” Trust and consistency are inter-related. They both imply reliable re-occurrence or repetition of behavior, qualities, characteristics, or events. A street sight displays consistency, but not trust. When, after [...] The sympathetic, autonomic, peripheral nervous system is the bodily system in charge of generating the flight/fight response. It will activate if something arises that is not in your immediate survival. If you believe strongly enough in something, say learning how to ride a bike. And the only thing you do is think about that activity [...] I just found this rummaging through an old drawer of room in which I spend some of my fondest childhood summers in Michigan. It was a valentine’s card from my dad to me. I must’ve been about 11? (12? 13? Hopefully not 14 or older!) judging by my writing. What’s funny is This list was [...] Okay 27 seems freakishly older than 26. Not sure why. 3 cubed, half-way between 25 and 30? But it does. Strange how, say, for example, 10 and 20 are years where you want age to accelerate. Finally, 10! Finally 16! and the like, but for 30 and up it seems to have the reverse effect. [...] A fellow coach posted a series of question on taking action. I’ll list the question and then what I think each question accomplishes under each quesiton -What’s the first step you need to take? -What would someone, who is fearless, do about this? -What needs to happen now? -What would it make sense to do [...] While getting my certification I joined some coaches in a discussion on the concept of “action”. The gist of the brainstorming was positive benefits of action or how action is taken at times of desperation or fear and ultimately leads to something more or less good. I had the exact opposite relationship with action. I [...]
I’ve given Goal-Setting a lot of thought….and experience…..and saw it lead to a lot of failures…and occasional successes….but ultimately I’ve learned tha goal-setting is a fail agenda and a behavior that denigrates clarity and induces self-doubt all while unnecessarily increasing otherwise-avoidable stress. Some of these may sound like [...] (this needs serious work organizing but the Electric Agenda: Reclaiming Ownership of your Temporality is DEFINITELY PRINCIPLE that I MUST ABIDE BY!!!!! YES!!!) I recently saw the Fantastic, utterly incredible movie In Bruges. It was incredible because of the Irish component, great acting, fantastic direction from McDonough, Ferrel was A+ and his [...] …and not watching movies. (This is in reference to non-fiction books, btw — and quality reads, not crap).
Movies leave you under a spell; an illusory haze so you cannot see. Books give control of the haze others are under. Movies manufacture illusion without you knowing it, while books allow you [...] Hear This In FULL as a free podcast! If you like what you hear. Be sure to check out the “Audio” page of http://www.validateyourlife.com for more inspiration and clarity! People Categories Categorize People in I’ve noticed those three distinctions VERY clearly in friends but instead of just categorizing appropriately the “friend” as a Drag [...] John Kuczmarski 11/16/05 Professor Coleman Hinduism
“There are these four ways of answering questions. Which four? There are questions that should be answered categorically [straightforwardly yes, no, this, that]. There are questions that should be answered with an analytical (qualified) answer [defining or redefining the terms]. There are questions that should be answered with a counter-question. There are questions that should [...] just woke up, just water, wore black (Great), no food, no coffee before, energizing awesome convo. good. I saw a darren brown and david tennant clip (for darren’s tv show) and I relized that they went out into public to have a woman draw a picture and david was supposed to have predicted [...] Question. You’re drinking a cup of lukewarm tea? You want to have it taste warmer. How do you make it taste warmer without a stove, microwave or anyway to heat the tea?? Think about this. It’s a riddle. Now the answer to our riddle as you may have guess. Answer: You drink a cup of [...] I like to swim upstream. What this means? Life is a circular mote flowing downstream. Life’s a gigantic circular mote. Most people float and surrender to the currents’ of life’s river. And the unaware people don’t pick up on the fact that it’s merely one gigantic circle they keep revolving in. I’ve surrendered. I’ve [...] |
