Trascrizione completa di Structure your thinking for the unexpected to live a life you love - Nishith Shah

programming back then, you didn't have that awareness, that definitely not that training. 00:05:17.966 --> 00:05:19.346 How did you deal with. 00:05:19.341 --> 00:05:24.036 I guess that career that was offered you almost been being taken away. 00:05:24.396 --> 00:05:26.497 And how did you respond? 00:05:26.476 --> 00:05:31.269 And I guess a follow-up to that is if you were in that same situation now, what would you do different? 00:05:31.809 --> 00:05:40.899 So in that moment as possible, just to give the context of this internship in Nagasaki provoke, the project that I've worked on and yeah. 00:05:40.916 --> 00:05:49.249 That was one of the biggest terror giant for me to live my mind at that point due to either become astronauts on tribute to the space exploration. 00:05:49.228 --> 00:05:50.401 That's what gives to what I read. 00:05:50.411 --> 00:05:51.461 We want to become astronaut. 00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:57.889 And I generally bless you that and look towards that and just couldn't get that at that point. 00:05:57.889 --> 00:06:03.252 I definitely didn't know the structure of acceptance at that point was angry. 00:06:03.778 --> 00:06:07.468 And I was frustrated because it's something I could have done. 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.838 It's something that wants that for me to do it and I couldn't do it. 00:06:11.348 --> 00:06:20.213 And that was really difficult and frustrating So I didn't super closely with engineering, but it took me a couple of years to really deal with it. 00:06:20.598 --> 00:06:23.149 Good that by that time I lost interest in engineering. 00:06:23.149 --> 00:06:28.509 Cause in my mind, like the booklets to do engineering loss to become an astronaut. 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.269 And if I can't be an astronaut, then what's the book was of doing engineering anymore. 00:06:32.810 --> 00:06:41.339 And so my interest in engineering was completely lost and and yeah, took, we do the year barely focus on that. 00:06:41.910 --> 00:06:43.079 Really can get ordered. 00:06:43.103 --> 00:06:46.403 If I, if you ask me, what would I do now? 00:06:46.403 --> 00:06:48.504 Going back to the same situation. 00:06:48.504 --> 00:07:01.744 I think it's learning this acceptance that we need to be heads to really accept it and to be able to focus on, because the thing that I've learned in life is that there's just not one vision. 00:07:01.827 --> 00:07:03.298 That'd be habitus humans. 00:07:03.550 --> 00:07:12.490 If you dig deep, then I'm sure that all of us have one to position my different experiences and things that you're passionate about. 00:07:13.151 --> 00:07:20.951 That's something I didn't know then, but I know now the cost, as much as I ended up being astronaut, it wasn't anything in the more, and it was only thing in the world at that time. 00:07:21.730 --> 00:07:22.060 But right. 00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:26.000 It wasn't that I learned that I could build a new vision. 00:07:26.406 --> 00:07:32.346 I could follow something else, then I'm

interested in something else that I'm passionate about. 00:07:32.346 --> 00:07:35.315 And again, at that time, I love and share what that was. 00:07:35.315 --> 00:07:44.747 But as I explored and I continue exploring, and I was lucky because I kind of John step on this youth organization and they used to work with professional concentration. 00:07:45.348 --> 00:07:50.987 And I found my new calling in our form when new passion and. 00:07:50.987 --> 00:07:57.516 If I were to go back to that situation, now I'll remember this, that there's just more than one thing in life. 00:07:57.509 --> 00:07:59.988 There can be multiple things that I can focus on. 00:08:00.244 --> 00:08:02.434 Yeah, I very much resonate with that. 00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:10.531 I did some training in the last few months with Stanford university professors called designing your life is around design thinking. 00:08:10.531 --> 00:08:18.192 And one of the concepts they talk about in life design and career design is what's called Odyssey planning and it's a simple exercise. 00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:21.122 I can share it in the show notes, but it basically. 00:08:21.326 --> 00:08:26.141 You project your life over the next five years and plan what you want to do for the next five years. 00:08:26.148 --> 00:08:31.985 And you write down, you want to do this year to open a restaurant and year three or grow it. 00:08:31.985 --> 00:08:35.515 And, you'll become the next subway, but tastier and that kind of stuff. 00:08:36.025 --> 00:08:48.477 And But then you do that entire exercise for one set five years, but then you do it again for a new five years and then you do it one more time and what it does is it opens up choice that sometimes life. 00:08:48.658 --> 00:08:49.528 Gets in the way. 00:08:49.556 --> 00:09:00.705 And there's things that are out of your control that happened, and you do have alternatives and, there are many paths to fulfillment, happiness, joy passion purpose and you can plan for it as well. 00:09:00.705 --> 00:09:07.048 If you really are consciously aware of what you want and what you want to contribute to the world, and then you can do that. 00:09:07.067 --> 00:09:23.673 And so with With choice and this kind of realization of choice, you realizing that was a passion that you had it's an interesting, and you have an unusual career path compared to a lot of people that, go to college, Then they go into their nine to five. 00:09:23.653 --> 00:09:29.812 Often corporate roles and do that career you chose a, what seemed like it seems like a passion in NLP. 00:09:29.798 --> 00:09:37.010 How did you decide for that to be your career and, did it suddenly become a passion or was it through practice? 00:09:37.010 --> 00:09:41.385 Like how did you know that, that was your passion and why did you go after it as a career? 00:09:41.625 --> 00:09:46.187 Cause it's quite, I would say that's a risk is an unusual not safe choice. 00:09:46.754 --> 00:09:51.118 Yeah, I think the biggest city,

then I ran doctor and it'd be POS wave. 00:09:51.118 --> 00:09:56.457 It goes up the expedience with NASA because I was so angry and frustrated. 00:09:56.548 --> 00:10:02.988 And and I think the frustration came from the fact that, most people just dream about it and I had it and I couldn't get it. 00:10:03.081 --> 00:10:05.301 And I couldn't get away with it. 00:10:05.288 --> 00:10:08.192 I couldn't really begin all the way to get her with it. 00:10:08.282 --> 00:10:14.672 And then like always with some of these things that happen, someone came to me and say, Hey, you know what? 00:10:14.672 --> 00:10:15.902 You should go and do NRB. 00:10:15.902 --> 00:10:17.011 And that would really help you. 00:10:17.672 --> 00:10:21.791 And so I went and did my an OB equals your environment. 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.590 And it didn't really make a lot of sense and it didn't really help me. 00:10:26.570 --> 00:10:29.453 It was quite a profound experience that I had. 00:10:29.448 --> 00:10:40.390 A lot of things didn't make sense in the bus time that I did it took me a while to get used to it, but I did know that there was something in this and more than that, I really like the idea of exploring human potential. 00:10:40.370 --> 00:10:44.538 I think that's part of the structure of the way I create vision. 00:10:44.631 --> 00:10:47.751 Most of my goals and like becoming an astronaut is. 00:10:47.783 --> 00:10:53.412 Pushing human would ensure going to places that are as humanity we haven't gone before. 00:10:53.652 --> 00:10:59.942 And that was how I had created my vision currently, because I couldn't become and big, the next best thing is to find evidence. 00:11:00.361 --> 00:11:06.280 And I think that also comes from the place of the daily pushing my my limits and human potential. 00:11:06.701 --> 00:11:10.341 And so I think the general, my vision creation is. 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.365 Under the underlying don't have it. 00:11:13.365 --> 00:11:15.251 Is that, how can I do any Bush? 00:11:15.282 --> 00:11:23.071 My human Mike would ensure them, how can I really, one of my comfort zone and and I think doing an, it would be gave me that expedience. 00:11:23.562 --> 00:11:25.392 And, but it also gave me the structured. 00:11:25.392 --> 00:11:29.471 It gives me the step by step process of me hoping others do the same. 00:11:29.951 --> 00:11:31.871 And I think that was really exciting for me. 00:11:31.929 --> 00:11:34.072 That was really fascinating to be able to do that. 00:11:34.072 --> 00:11:39.711 But other than that, all of those to really explore that their mind and the limits. 00:11:39.735 --> 00:11:42.653 And I I also do allow use that. 00:11:42.748 --> 00:12:04.076 As humans that I teach, I put a human stool to then do more towards experiences rather than things because when I wanted to become astronaut it wasn't just to be astronauts, but that experience that I would get to really look at the planet from a different view, that was expedient, that I was grateful same that I want to find Everest. 00:12:04.527 --> 00:12:08.539 My experience is to be able to see the load and be in that adventure. 00:12:08.570 --> 00:12:11.059 And I experience that thrill and that's what I'm looking for. 00:12:11.629 --> 00:12:19.789 And it's the same sort of experience that I got from working with people that thrilled to be able to see someone really reach the maximum. 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:23.210 And so I started being attention to the experience. 00:12:23.690 --> 00:12:25.879 What's the thought of experience I want to have in life. 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.019 And I knew that engineering and science was that because. 00:12:30.424 --> 00:12:32.794 That's not, I wasn't interested in that anymore. 00:12:33.365 --> 00:12:36.663 And so that's why I decided to drop out in the fourth year of my college. 00:12:36.663 --> 00:12:44.192 I didn't do any bench engineering after and started focusing more on human behavior and LPN. 00:12:44.482 --> 00:12:44.753 Yeah. 00:12:44.753 --> 00:12:45.697 It's interesting. 00:12:45.726 --> 00:12:51.898 You became aware of an experience that you liked and you basically said, I want to see more of this. 00:12:51.927 --> 00:12:54.221 I this is something that, that lights me up. 00:12:54.221 --> 00:12:58.206 This is something that inspires me, energizes me, all of that kind of stuff. 00:12:58.625 --> 00:13:04.904 What would you say to people that are trying to find an experience? 00:13:05.066 --> 00:13:06.836 The, that does light them up. 00:13:06.926 --> 00:13:10.015 Like how do you think they could find that 00:13:09.975 --> 00:13:17.538 in life my fundamental belief is that people already have this to the context of binding presupposes that they don't have it. 00:13:18.048 --> 00:13:20.749 And I think I've believed that they already have it. 00:13:20.808 --> 00:13:27.388 And so to me level it just, they're just disconnected with these experiences of, it's not a mental illness. 00:13:27.763 --> 00:13:34.677 So the, of the question then I would ask, is there, how do we really bring that to awareness that they already have for me? 00:13:34.749 --> 00:13:46.058 I think looking at some of the moments and the school components is that we have those defining moments, that the moment that really make you feel alive clearly you've got. 00:13:46.149 --> 00:13:48.100 Deputy kind of charges you up. 00:13:48.169 --> 00:13:53.326 And these are the moments where you know that, you can't you can't sleep, you wake up in the morning, get out of the bed. 00:13:53.326 --> 00:13:59.333 And this is the thing that you want to do the posting and not really the janitors and people get caught up in their tasks. 00:13:59.431 --> 00:14:00.660 But it's not about the dots. 00:14:00.660 --> 00:14:07.471 It's not about what you're doing, or it's not about the things that you do, but when you do this task, what's the experience that you have. 00:14:07.471 --> 00:14:09.061 What are the emotions that you're feeling.

00:14:09.660 --> 00:14:12.240 And you wouldn't know that because that's why you were doing those tasks. 00:14:13.051 --> 00:14:15.000 Once you realize that, okay. 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.770 When I've been alive, these are the emotions that I feel. 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:28.837 These are the experiences that I have and the things that strikes me that you're passionate about, then that's when you can start being more attention to them. 00:14:29.197 --> 00:14:35.467 What are some of the, then things that you can do, what career that you can burn that gives you those experiences. 00:14:35.498 --> 00:14:36.878 And it just something that would be one thing. 00:14:37.357 --> 00:14:42.518 Cause that's something, another thing that people tend to get caught up that when I do this, I'll get this expedient. 00:14:42.518 --> 00:14:44.677 And that's the only thing that will give me this experience. 00:14:44.707 --> 00:14:46.508 And I start to like video like that. 00:14:46.508 --> 00:14:52.153 There are choices and there are so many ways that you can build a career to have that experience more than life. 00:14:52.407 --> 00:14:53.067 I love that. 00:14:53.126 --> 00:14:53.846 Absolutely love that. 00:14:53.876 --> 00:15:02.235 And there's various people that have talked about looking at defining moments reading, start with why and find your why by Simon Sinek. 00:15:02.269 --> 00:15:07.543 He, in order to find your purpose in what, what you're here on this earth for your why statement, he calls it. 00:15:07.571 --> 00:15:21.482 Looking back to moments in your life that are both that significant, and that could be positive or that could be negative, you know it, but it's something that means something to you that draws emotion and sparks life from you. 00:15:21.496 --> 00:15:25.740 Looking at those moments and actually, what are the lessons from that? 00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:42.028 And that's actually part of the beauty of learning NLP is being able to explore those kind of moments and actually get a structure that that can be translated into other contexts in your future career and how you make decisions in the future. 00:15:42.066 --> 00:15:45.606 And it's really great that you actually started talking about defining moments. 00:15:46.236 --> 00:15:56.408 I, now I know just before we started recording, you said you had a conversation with another great NLP master G Natalie about defining moments. 00:15:56.893 --> 00:16:03.994 Can you talk a little bit about, and I love talking about structure and how people can use structure to help them in their lives and careers. 00:16:04.323 --> 00:16:11.504 But I also really enjoy sometimes diving into the content and the context around it to share other people's stories. 00:16:11.504 --> 00:16:15.471 So people really get these Techniques and principles unconsciously. 00:16:15.801 --> 00:16:24.839 Tell me a little bit about some of your defining moments, whether that's what you've already shared with your conversation

with Jean or even outside. 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:31.075 I think one of the biggest defining moment is what we just spoke about in Don Shaw, realizing. 00:16:31.056 --> 00:16:34.296 Just going through the challenge itself, there was so much counting for me. 00:16:34.289 --> 00:16:39.408 I seemed to think that if I didn't have that challenge, then I would be in a completely different place. 00:16:39.465 --> 00:16:51.326 But one of, one of the things that Jean and I also explored was this idea that a lot of defining moments come from saying yes to stepping into unknown. 00:16:51.349 --> 00:16:53.418 So you have this sense of vision. 00:16:54.259 --> 00:17:03.048 But then say yes to stepping into unknown and then opportunities are in genes, thought to is automatically emerge. 00:17:03.046 --> 00:17:09.465 And I think one of those, one of those moment, definitely for me most to stop thinking about. 00:17:10.576 --> 00:17:13.276 So when I started doing NLP, I really enjoyed it. 00:17:13.861 --> 00:17:19.548 And I was the lucky one because I felt I'm doing the thing that I really want to do, and I want to be able to do in my life. 00:17:20.147 --> 00:17:22.577 And yet it felt incongruent. 00:17:22.667 --> 00:17:28.038 It felt like there's something, there was something missing and lots of things that I do. 00:17:28.038 --> 00:17:41.298 And I suppose that as I spend more and more time doing training or spending a lot of time in the hotel who said in the session and that's that severely not the kind I ended imagine I would like to spend my time. 00:17:42.978 --> 00:17:47.327 And I do really love spending time in the nature and in the mountains. 00:17:47.327 --> 00:17:49.397 And that's what I want you to spend more time. 00:17:49.968 --> 00:17:54.978 And that's where one of my defining moments also came because I suddenly went blank. 00:17:54.978 --> 00:17:55.518 You know what? 00:17:56.028 --> 00:17:58.008 I always had this amazing experience. 00:17:58.038 --> 00:17:59.688 When I go on finding an expedition. 00:18:00.363 --> 00:18:04.833 And learned so much and what if I could replicate the same experience for people? 00:18:04.818 --> 00:18:11.923 And when I first heard about it was like, it was one of the craziest idea. 00:18:11.971 --> 00:18:14.401 I don't even know how it's going to look or what's going to work. 00:18:14.392 --> 00:18:22.092 I even thought that, I might just be going crazy by thinking about something that, you know, what if I could do be in No, one's done this before. 00:18:22.662 --> 00:18:28.001 No one ever thought about this before, and I just want that I was going to with him. 00:18:28.067 --> 00:18:30.077 But that is what we spoke about. 00:18:30.077 --> 00:18:32.057 And I still that's the life I wanted to live. 00:18:32.057 --> 00:18:34.008 And that's how I wanted to spend more of my time. 00:18:34.518 --> 00:18:36.048 That's where I barely congruent. 00:18:36.050 --> 00:18:38.976 And And that's what I barely confluent and I. 00:18:38.955 --> 00:18:42.132 I started doing an, a B, and as being the Hemanez. 00:18:43.152 --> 00:18:54.806 And the first time I did that, it was such an exception and expedience, and that was a woman to have a revelation that, I can almost call up my passions together to move towards the life that I want to build. 00:18:54.858 --> 00:18:57.259 And mountaineering is one thing, and then it'll be is another thing. 00:18:57.259 --> 00:19:02.028 How can I bring that together and make it one and create that oneness within me. 00:19:02.009 --> 00:19:04.833 So that I can continue to move towards the life that I want to be. 00:19:04.833 --> 00:19:11.097 And that, that will step in and be one of the biggest defining momentum to be able to stop that and then lift that. 00:19:11.097 --> 00:19:14.038 And I've been doing that consistently and it's been such a great experience. 00:19:14.490 --> 00:19:14.910 Yeah. 00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:24.582 The book that comes to mind when you talk about that, and I think this is some, a book that Jean recommended to read was a bit, I think it's called build the bridge as you walk on it. 00:19:24.582 --> 00:19:25.241 Is that correct? 00:19:27.132 --> 00:19:30.872 Cause you will I can't remember the author's name, but that concept of. 00:19:31.083 --> 00:19:32.432 Going into the unknown. 00:19:32.522 --> 00:19:43.556 And but that's really taking up the challenge because a lot of the time in life that that gives you those defining moments and you remembered them and the, and it sparks emotions and it challenges you in it. 00:19:44.486 --> 00:19:54.316 You talked earlier about, exploring human potential and, going into those moments actually draws out like more of the human potential that, that you never knew existed. 00:19:54.298 --> 00:19:57.102 And there's definitely moments in my life where I've. 00:19:58.041 --> 00:20:06.480 Either I've been thrown into it, into the deep end, so to speak and had to build a bridge or I've chosen to as well. 00:20:06.509 --> 00:20:16.215 And and definitely I, when I think about defining moments is always those moments where I've been challenged or I've set myself a challenge that I didn't think I could do. 00:20:16.297 --> 00:20:21.038 And the, my, my reserves of potentiality somehow come up. 00:20:21.232 --> 00:20:21.893 Every time. 00:20:21.942 --> 00:20:25.138 And and it's so interesting, you talking about. 00:20:25.390 --> 00:20:31.653 Combining your passions to build this bridge of a business, to build this career that you're doing. 00:20:31.682 --> 00:20:41.147 And there's so many people that probably listening that might not necessarily be happy with their career, or they might be happy with certain elements of it. 00:20:41.147 --> 00:20:47.928 And perhaps they want to combine those elements with other skills, maybe other careers they've had maybe. 00:20:48.383 --> 00:20:54.365 Maybe passions may be interests maybe just new areas that they wanted to explore in their life.

00:20:54.425 --> 00:21:08.566 As a potential career, how do you get the courage, first of all to try out these new things, like these different things that other people haven't done before running retreats in the Himalayan mountains which no one else was actually doing. 00:21:08.622 --> 00:21:11.592 Certainly not in kind of personal development and LP world. 00:21:11.862 --> 00:21:14.685 Like how do you get the courage and bravery to do that? 00:21:15.016 --> 00:21:20.679 And like if someone else was thinking to do a similar thing, where could they start. 00:21:20.890 --> 00:21:21.549 Just do it. 00:21:21.576 --> 00:21:23.659 But of course that's easier said than done. 00:21:24.709 --> 00:21:29.654 So I guess if by victory, look at my experience. 00:21:30.805 --> 00:21:36.714 When I started, I didn't generally sat down thinking that this is my fault, and this is the only thing that I was going to do. 00:21:36.714 --> 00:21:37.765 And this is my video. 00:21:38.575 --> 00:21:43.674 My first log, that was a treat was then let me see, let me build it. 00:21:44.065 --> 00:21:45.991 Let me see what happens. 00:21:46.002 --> 00:21:49.782 And then I, they could, I think it from them and I only paid attention to that. 00:21:49.782 --> 00:21:55.528 I didn't really pay attention to thinking about it as as the career or the ring or the bot or. 00:21:56.143 --> 00:22:04.943 It's like that very famous quote from Peter dreams, that you build it and they will come to that, that I wanted to just buried it and do my part. 00:22:04.923 --> 00:22:13.217 But they speed and it's designed to build from a design might've lead betas of event site and put it out there and see if they come. 00:22:13.757 --> 00:22:15.257 And if they don't it's okay. 00:22:15.257 --> 00:22:19.295 I know that, it doesn't work, but if they don't, I know that I learn from it and do something else. 00:22:19.376 --> 00:22:27.903 But I just wanted to put it out there and I think that's how so that's how I see in dome something more or less that I stopped devil. 00:22:27.913 --> 00:22:29.804 I have no strings attached to it. 00:22:29.804 --> 00:22:32.953 I didn't have to, I didn't put any financial pressure or anything. 00:22:33.433 --> 00:22:34.723 I just wanted to go that. 00:22:34.723 --> 00:22:34.993 Okay. 00:22:35.203 --> 00:22:37.513 That's just not that there and see what happened. 00:22:38.114 --> 00:22:41.503 And more often than not from my experience, it has happened. 00:22:41.594 --> 00:22:44.022 It's just the metaphor that comes to mind is skydiving. 00:22:44.002 --> 00:22:59.181 When you skydive you're literally jumping out of an airplane, but you know that the parachute will open and it's like just taking a jump into it and trusting that the parachute will open and more often than not, it does open. 00:22:59.163 --> 00:23:02.971 And I guess that's how I started with Monash. 00:23:03.862 --> 00:23:04.402 Yeah. 00:23:04.406 --> 00:23:08.376 There's this element of prototyping, obviously, do it, just do it. 00:23:08.428 --> 00:23:13.998 But there's also an element of, okay, you don't have to, give up your entire life to go for this. 00:23:14.090 --> 00:23:19.349 You can do, th there isn't any we can test this out and you can learn from, and you can start small and you can. 00:23:19.349 --> 00:23:19.410 Yeah. 00:23:19.398 --> 00:23:26.538 So in the case of Careers, for example, it might be that you're thinking about a career in the charity sector. 00:23:26.538 --> 00:23:35.147 And so you work in a charity shop while you're at the weekends one day a week while you're working or your job weekdays and. 00:23:35.492 --> 00:23:40.292 See that experience, test it out, see if it lights you up. 00:23:40.292 --> 00:23:44.073 And that really goes back to the principles of NLP. 00:23:44.140 --> 00:23:49.145 One of the models in NLP is it's tote, test operate, test exit. 00:23:49.269 --> 00:23:50.470 It's all about testing. 00:23:50.470 --> 00:24:03.939 It's about finding out how your experiences, when you jump into these things that you think you have a hypothesis for are going to be exciting, passionate, something of your dreams, something you wanted to try out. 00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:15.180 So this idea of just jumping in, I think even at a small scale and testing things out and learning from it is so important not just for your career, but for your life or whatever you want to do. 00:24:15.210 --> 00:24:21.893 And then going back to the, what you said earlier Being aware of how you experienced that new thing that you're testing out. 00:24:21.893 --> 00:24:24.803 And there might be a, oh gosh, I shouldn't have done that. 00:24:24.836 --> 00:24:31.586 In which case you've learned from it, but it also might be a defining moment which could pivot your entire life. 00:24:31.582 --> 00:24:44.712 So interesting that, sharing that structure with me in terms of in congruence and I guess another way to describe it is internal misalignment of what you're doing in your life. 00:24:44.701 --> 00:24:50.508 And you can see it with people who are and this includes me as well. 00:24:50.506 --> 00:24:52.938 Many times in my life who are. 00:24:53.663 --> 00:25:07.814 Unconsciously, you can see they're a little bit, maybe slouched over, or you could just see in their facial expressions when they're talking about a certain thing or project or job or a person or whatever, but that they're saying one thing, but. 00:25:08.328 --> 00:25:10.159 Unconsciously, they don't mean it. 00:25:10.255 --> 00:25:15.055 And all they're doing something, but they don't necessarily, it's not in their heart. 00:25:15.085 --> 00:25:22.582 It's not something that aligns with them, with their values, with what they might unconsciously consider that their purpose of meaning in life. 00:25:22.612 --> 00:25:24.531 In terms of income group. 00:25:25.461 --> 00:25:40.491 What are some things that people can do now if they feel that in congruent in their job, in their life are

there certain steps that they can take right now to start finding a path to congruence and really fitting happier? 00:25:40.971 --> 00:25:41.632 Yeah. 00:25:41.672 --> 00:25:47.688 Coming from an IRB, that the first question that I would ask to people is that what is it that they want to do? 00:25:48.678 --> 00:25:51.798 Because I think it's, you're really important. 00:25:52.157 --> 00:25:56.897 And it's what we said that saying yes to the unknown, committing to the unknown. 00:25:56.894 --> 00:25:58.076 It's this into the structure. 00:25:58.165 --> 00:26:02.836 It's really important that first to say yes to congruence and move towards. 00:26:02.897 --> 00:26:04.816 Move towards congruence. 00:26:04.928 --> 00:26:12.329 And again, to start really thinking about a lot of the elements that we spoke about start with being as some of the defining moments of your own life. 00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:24.693 And then that gives you a sense of what are the kinds of experiences that you want to have one and mode in life, and did this expedience as usually relates to emotions that you want even more than. 00:26:26.409 --> 00:26:32.138 So I want to view more adventures and I want to feed them all happy around a people who's putting on a few pretty. 00:26:32.125 --> 00:26:36.231 And so what have some of those emotions that you want to expedience motor mode in life? 00:26:36.321 --> 00:26:41.511 Also, maybe it's important to pay attention to what are some of the emotions that you wanna move away from? 00:26:41.549 --> 00:26:45.106 So much invites and that's an important aspect to pay attention to the cost. 00:26:45.166 --> 00:26:51.106 Often when people are stuck in a video art that they don't enjoy the expedience of emotion that they do in fact. 00:26:51.767 --> 00:26:57.609 And so to know that these are the emotions to step away from, I don't want to, I don't want to feel a bowl of M did. 00:26:57.609 --> 00:26:58.599 I don't want to, I don't. 00:26:58.730 --> 00:27:00.339 I know that I don't want to. 00:27:00.775 --> 00:27:04.025 Be part of something that's very task oriented. 00:27:04.025 --> 00:27:06.125 That kind of gives me all of them. 00:27:06.634 --> 00:27:09.634 So knowing do want to walk away from this all the time. 00:27:10.055 --> 00:27:22.738 But once I think once you actually heard about this, then you can start looking at, okay, what are some of the things that you can do that you can that can give you more and more expedience or lines that you want to have? 00:27:22.750 --> 00:27:24.191 What are some of the critique on spike? 00:27:24.191 --> 00:27:30.520 You said it could be chatted even it could be smart step on glean, going to a charity and working for our day. 00:27:30.509 --> 00:27:42.119 If it's if it's building your own programs and retreats, then designing the smallest thing that you can possibly do and putting it out there to anything, but they didn't experiences that you want to have. 00:27:42.750 --> 00:27:46.613 What is the thing that you can do that could give you the life that you want to live. 00:27:46.792 --> 00:27:55.446 And within that, what's the smallest step that netted that is easy for you to dig, but it's also rewarding because that experience is important. 00:27:55.507 --> 00:27:58.507 And if that doesn't come, then you won't be motivated. 00:27:58.623 --> 00:28:14.191 And that's saying, taking that action and moving towards that and then doing that more and more I also, in fact, would suggest one more, a little different set up a thought experiment, because once you recognize the experience that you want to have, right. 00:28:15.361 --> 00:28:27.147 Even if you're not able to do take a step in dumps with jeans into cardio, that's it for now, even if you're not able to do that immediately, or the thing that you're going to do is at least. 00:28:27.837 --> 00:28:35.577 Being a pension to buy or six or 10 things that you can do that gives you that experience on a day-to-day basis. 00:28:35.835 --> 00:28:36.825 So what do I mean by that? 00:28:36.825 --> 00:28:44.019 For example, let's say if I want to experience more and more freedom or modern water adventure in life, artistic, one freedom in life. 00:28:44.067 --> 00:28:59.286 I know that if I build this program, that will give me freedom, but if I'm not able to build this program right now, What I can do is pay attention to what are the five things in my day-to-day life that I can do that gives me expedience of freedom and it could be as small thing as just reading a book that I really enjoy. 00:28:59.346 --> 00:29:07.726 And that gives me experience of freedom It could be it could be doing something that I really enjoy, like maybe writing or half an hour or bringing a video game. 00:29:08.175 --> 00:29:09.375 And that can give you a freedom. 00:29:09.945 --> 00:29:26.169 But the more you have it expedience a freedom that easier to get you to the video project in video, because I think what happens in at one level, the more it's like you get the base of the blood the more you experience that freedom, then it becomes an acceptable to not have that freedom. 00:29:26.828 --> 00:29:38.249 And once it becomes unacceptable to not have that freedom, then you would want to Like you would do you are Ashley that you want to have in life? 00:29:38.395 --> 00:29:51.560 yeah, that's really interesting concept of if you have a vision for what an activity or maybe a job or project that that you spend your time doing that that leads you to freedom, which might be one of your highest values. 00:29:51.625 --> 00:30:12.942 Yeah, of course you can start planning for that and it might be a big project but there are, there's a massive scale in terms of what you can do in order to experience that emotion of feeling free from, reading a book all the way to, traveling the road on a motorbike with a motorbike gang or something illegal one. 00:30:14.172 --> 00:30:14.382 Yes. 00:30:14.852 --> 00:30:30.272 And but there's also this

concept of in my mind of, you're, you are already free and you already, all of these emotions Literally neurochemical things that happening in your body and the thoughts that you put to those emotions are your thoughts. 00:30:30.272 --> 00:30:31.461 And they can dissolve. 00:30:31.463 --> 00:30:38.244 If you just let go of those emotions and I re I was reading a book recently letting go by. 00:30:38.242 --> 00:30:38.991 David R. 00:30:38.991 --> 00:30:44.541 Hawkins and he talks about focusing, basically being present with whatever emotion that you have. 00:30:44.532 --> 00:30:47.613 And and just being aware of it, whether that's a painful one or. 00:30:47.595 --> 00:31:03.973 Or a positive one, like joy, for example, but just being aware of it and not being so attached to it, but just being aware of it and and actually that helps to let go of having to to, to either resist emotions or keep going towards them. 00:31:03.953 --> 00:31:13.692 And I guess I'm having a conflict because a lot of NLP is about changing your states and and finding a desired state. 00:31:14.143 --> 00:31:17.084 And some people would argue that. 00:31:17.489 --> 00:31:25.693 Actually letting go of your states and your emotions is is also another path to, to enlightenment you could call it or fulfillment. 00:31:25.769 --> 00:31:33.308 What would you say to, to that concept of letting go of emotions rather than constructing experiences to have emotions. 00:31:33.868 --> 00:31:40.674 I believe I said it, it's not an either or I think we can add I think there are places where. 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:46.191 I would do to consciously think about expedience that I want to have and the emotions that I want to fear. 00:31:46.261 --> 00:31:51.791 And then there are places when I know that I get too attached to certain emotions and even positive emotions. 00:31:51.791 --> 00:31:54.122 Like I get attached to them and I get too attached to it. 00:31:55.261 --> 00:32:01.643 And it's important for me to let go and just be present with where I am and rather than pay attention to those emotions. 00:32:01.758 --> 00:32:04.672 So I think it's and just to pick it out and when do I need. 00:32:05.196 --> 00:32:15.689 To pay attention to what makes a lot of makes a lot of sense, because I think emotion step in Italy, give me a direction in terms of the kind of life that I want to live. 00:32:16.078 --> 00:32:16.858 Kind of go to hear it. 00:32:16.858 --> 00:32:17.548 I want to read it. 00:32:17.528 --> 00:32:25.731 But at the same time, the moment I get attached to them then based sometimes starts coming in a way because I'm just shaping them. 00:32:26.271 --> 00:32:28.971 And I think it also comes from the fundamental principle of that. 00:32:29.053 --> 00:32:38.053 Email way, like you mentioned just that, we emotions, I'm not something hooked up and it's not something that we have to chase. 00:32:38.113 --> 00:32:44.250 Like we spoke about finding, it's not something we have to find or get, do

we already are there, we just have to connect with it. 00:32:44.250 --> 00:32:55.583 So in a way, operating from the place that I'm already, that person who I want to be allows me to get the sense of the kind of life that I'm going to live and expedience I want to have, and also do pay attention to the event. 00:32:55.673 --> 00:32:56.643 When do I need to let go? 00:32:56.689 --> 00:33:11.895 Because the moment I then go to nice, have a sense of my book, danger and expanded so much more because there's no, or from again, it's just, that's what we even defined it as an amended, Because there's no blockchain on me or anything, I'm just, I am. 00:33:11.986 --> 00:33:13.546 And there's no end to that statement. 00:33:13.546 --> 00:33:14.175 I just am. 00:33:14.231 --> 00:33:17.119 That's definitely, it's such an expansive space to be yet. 00:33:17.630 --> 00:33:17.990 Yeah. 00:33:18.019 --> 00:33:29.101 One thing that Springs to mind when you talk about that either letting go of emotions or actually moving towards them through experience and having actually it's about having a balance in my life. 00:33:29.131 --> 00:33:29.851 It really does. 00:33:29.888 --> 00:33:31.118 That really does make sense. 00:33:31.118 --> 00:33:37.133 It there's something that drives me to plan an experience that I know will create an emotion in me and other people. 00:33:37.133 --> 00:33:44.044 And that is a real drive to actually take, give me more motivation and Behave and take all the steps to achieve that. 00:33:44.433 --> 00:34:02.643 And then on the other side, on the other side, it can if you're not careful lead to things like addictions or just repetitive behaviors where it could go out of balance, if you're chasing those emotions too much, one, one example that Springs to mind when we were in Switzerland together and we we were doing retreat there. 00:34:02.863 --> 00:34:07.846 And there was a pub, I think it was in lauter brown burner and the lovely mountain town there. 00:34:07.946 --> 00:34:20.413 And it was the pub was famous for having lots of based on base, yeah, they walked by, they flew in these wingsuits every day and, talking to these people in the pub, it was really interesting how much. 00:34:20.398 --> 00:34:27.766 They were chasing that that feeling of exhilaration of the rush of adrenaline and, that is what made them feel alive. 00:34:27.766 --> 00:34:34.389 And actually, I'm sure there's many defining moments in their life when they are flying through the air, over a hundred miles an hour, I think. 00:34:34.449 --> 00:34:36.492 And rushing through nature. 00:34:36.561 --> 00:34:50.976 But then when you listen to it, when we both listened to their stories, there was elements of so much sacrifice, people, selling their house and, spending literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars and the relationships they'd given up and knowing so many things. 00:34:50.976 --> 00:34:55.987 Friends that died such a dangerous sport, that they were really chasing that emotion. 00:34:55.987 --> 00:34:58.762 And and so you're totally right. 00:34:58.762 --> 00:35:06.748 I think, obviously people do that in other darker areas like alcohol addiction and that kind of stuff, but you really hit the nail on the head. 00:35:06.748 --> 00:35:09.387 It's really about having that balance and that. 00:35:09.447 --> 00:35:23.384 Awareness of when to let go, when you have control to attach and let go of the experiences that you see, can, I think that's a really fundamental concept to, to share with listeners just to be aware of that as well. 00:35:23.385 --> 00:35:32.875 Initiate before I ask my last question where can people find you and connect with you and how can they go on your retreats and learn an RP from you? 00:35:33.105 --> 00:35:33.795 Like I have, 00:35:33.911 --> 00:35:38.769 I think the easiest way to connect with me is I think Instagram is the best place. 00:35:38.778 --> 00:35:44.148 You can find me as Shaw that is such a edge underscore mission. 00:35:45.708 --> 00:35:46.338 ideas. 00:35:46.699 --> 00:35:48.858 That's the easiest way to connect with me. 00:35:48.927 --> 00:35:50.715 I've been spending a lot of time on um, health. 00:35:50.715 --> 00:35:51.375 Isn't the end. 00:35:51.405 --> 00:35:52.215 That's a great business. 00:35:52.215 --> 00:35:54.704 and if you connect with people, you can even have great conversations. 00:35:54.688 --> 00:35:54.958 Same. 00:35:54.958 --> 00:36:04.835 You can find me as Nisha Shaw you search quota to find me a decent, I think the easiest way, but if you want to connect professionally so you can find them on LinkedIn, just search permission, shine, and there'll be a new team. 00:36:04.835 --> 00:36:05.315 My profile. 00:36:05.498 --> 00:36:05.858 Perfect. 00:36:05.994 --> 00:36:06.864 My last question there. 00:36:06.873 --> 00:36:07.193 Shit. 00:36:07.289 --> 00:36:11.938 I definitely see you as someone that lives with passion, purpose, and balance in your life. 00:36:11.927 --> 00:36:12.677 I call that. 00:36:12.657 --> 00:36:22.115 To band from within to live your passion, perhaps in balance And having done various retreats with new trainings with you, traveled around the world with you and got to know you over many years. 00:36:22.626 --> 00:36:27.733 What do you think is a one thing, mishit Charlottes you think has enabled you to burn from within 00:36:27.847 --> 00:36:35.606 So I think one thing, if I were to just say one specific thing it's grounded in the experiences that I want to have more than life. 00:36:35.666 --> 00:36:44.414 And what's helped me is it's it's making it unacceptable to not have this experience as for me to start out on any. 00:36:44.405 --> 00:36:49.012 Any other life that doesn't have this experiences, if not acceptable for me. 00:36:49.244 --> 00:36:55.552 And I think that's one of the biggest things that I literally get less than this, the moment I go into that addiction. 00:36:55.641 --> 00:36:55.911 Okay.

00:36:56.391 --> 00:37:00.148 I'm trying to, I'm getting the live divide that I don't want to live. 00:37:00.298 --> 00:37:04.889 And I think the biggest thing that's driving me is early on this strong vision. 00:37:04.916 --> 00:37:14.465 That I have to really create one nest on this planet and that vision drives these experiences and these experiences allows me to have that fire within me. 00:37:14.603 --> 00:37:15.083 Yeah. 00:37:15.130 --> 00:37:27.161 And very powerful vision as well that you have and you have brought so many people together from around the world, running things like the global NLP conference, doing your retreats all over the world. 00:37:27.206 --> 00:37:30.326 Running masterclasses with so many different, interesting. 00:37:30.336 --> 00:37:33.186 Thought leaders and teachers of our time. 00:37:33.172 --> 00:37:37.239 And keep pursuing that vision that you have and living it. 00:37:37.271 --> 00:37:39.762 It's not just the vision you are actually living it now. 00:37:39.786 --> 00:37:50.630 And very interesting about having no tolerance to dropping that standard of whenever you feel you're going off a path and being in congruent with actually who you want to be. 00:37:50.612 --> 00:37:53.155 You, you feel it and you take action and you stop it. 00:37:53.155 --> 00:37:53.936 And that is. 00:37:54.030 --> 00:37:59.014 That is something that I think we all would strive for and can do as well. 00:37:58.990 --> 00:38:04.134 That's something that I am now reflecting on how I can incorporate more of that structure into my life. 00:38:04.373 --> 00:38:04.884 Initiate. 00:38:04.943 --> 00:38:05.873 Thank you so much. 00:38:05.873 --> 00:38:08.153 It's been a really fascinating interview. 00:38:08.153 --> 00:38:12.643 We've talked about a lot of different things and gone deep in, in a lot of different areas, which I love. 00:38:12.693 --> 00:38:13.813 So thank you very much. 00:38:13.862 --> 00:38:21.905 Thank you so much for having me here and as all of this congregation that has such amazing profound assessments, I've loved having this conversation with you. 00:38:22.206 --> 00:38:23.106 Thank you for having me. 00:38:23.465 --> 00:38:23.826 Listen. 00:38:23.856 --> 00:38:24.126 Thanks. 00:38:24.347 --> 00:38:24.797 Wow. 00:38:24.827 --> 00:38:27.498 We talked about a lot of different things in that interview. 00:38:28.157 --> 00:38:28.577 Yep. 00:38:28.757 --> 00:38:33.918 There were some common threads that connected the structure of initiatives thinking process. 00:38:34.458 --> 00:38:42.347 Acceptance for the unexpected in giving up his future career at NASA and in the current COVID spread in India. 00:38:42.947 --> 00:38:46.277 Focusing on what you can control in your career in life. 00:38:46.818 --> 00:38:51.648 Gives you power to feel personal progress in a way to contribute. 00:38:52.307 --> 00:38:54.588 There are many parts in life we can be happy. 00:38:54.588 --> 00:39:13.458 And so if your initial dream doesn't work out by pondering the structure underneath what you wanted from that initial life path, you can generate alternative career or life plans that serve fulfilling those same core values, desired feelings and purpose. 00:39:14.148 --> 00:39:18.677 Check out the show notes for ways to find out more about NLP neuro-linguistic program. 00:39:19.128 --> 00:39:21.318 And designing your life thinking. 00:39:21.708 --> 00:39:23.507 And if you enjoyed this talk. 00:39:23.958 --> 00:39:28.307 Go and leave a review on rate this podcast.com/burn from within that's rate. 00:39:28.307 --> 00:39:31.277 This podcast.com forward slash burn from within. 00:39:31.847 --> 00:39:35.958 Stay updated with more inspiring interviews by hitting the subscribe or follow button. 00:39:35.958 --> 00:39:36.887 Now, when your player. 00:39:37.338 --> 00:39:41.447 And until next time live with passion purpose and balance and burn from
