The Insighter – November 2021

Nov 15, 2021

Hi, Everyone!

First Fall holiday is done and now we are on to the next! This time of year is filled with traditions that bring out the best and sometimes the stress in people. 

Since all of us here at PL seek insights out of the mundane and the profound, the holiday season creates ample opportunity to watch our own reactions and see how strong of intentions we can muster.  

This year isn’t like last year, and yet it still feels very unique to years past.  Thankfully, we have been building many wonderful ways to connect and engage with you all. Also, with the ability to meet safely in person many of us are getting to strengthen healthy bonds and relationships with renewed richness. 

Speaking of renewed bonds, we just finished a 3-day Couples Retreat in Carlsbad, CA with 10 couples and it was amazing!  This was a time where these 10 partners talked about the real issues and made major headway in so many areas.  Congratulations and thank you to all the couples that joined Lindon and Cassie for showing up big and making this world filled with more love!

Also, a great group of cowboys and cowgirls just got back from our Building Better Relationships workshop in Tucson, Arizona. Aside from riding horses, shooting pistols and bow and arrows these wonderful clients challenged themselves on how to create healthier relationships throughout their personal and professional lives. Betty Jo and Lindon Austin felt honoured to work with them for an entire week!

Have you seen the updated 2022 schedule which includes some cool new topics and avenues of self-discovery – everyone has something that will engage their growth!

Read through this whole issue, as there’s always something new to learn and discover.  See you in person or virtually soon!

Workshop Spotlight
Small Group Coaching
Make The Leap Coaching and Nourished for Women
January – March

COACHING!? Productive Learning does small group coaching!?

Yep, we do. And we’ve even started a new coaching program in an area that’s brand new and specifically designed for WOMEN. It’s called Nourished and it looks at the longest term relationship that women will ever have, their relationship with food and their bodies.  Want to tackle the foundation of how to build a physically healthy you? This is your place to start.

Do you have a goal you’ve been wanting to achieve but not getting any momentum on it? Or is it still just a dream that sits by the wasteside? Maybe the momentum is underway but everything seems out of control all of a sudden? Our original coaching program, Make the Leap small group coaching is a gamechanger for those of us that are ready to put their goals out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN! 

Groups start in January…did someone say New Year’s Resolution!??

Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is a time of appreciation and kindness.  One of the most important people to give those to is YOU! This life is a wild one and you’re navigating it. You’ve made it over a year through a pandemic. You’ve had losses and frustrations. Excitements and wins. Some of us found more love and some of us lost it. 

Any way you cut it, you did it.  So we think it’s time you thank you

There is endless learning to be had on the subject of appreciation. In fact, I bet many of you have done a year-long study of Living in Appreciation with us, and still see there is more to gain from this powerful concept.

Whatever your relationship with appreciation is, we think it’s an amazing aspect of living fully. So here’s a fun and easy way to tune up your gratitude skills. Take some time and reflect on these questions:

  1. How do you most like to be appreciated? Verbally, written, alone, with/by others, with things or quality time, etc? 
  2. What are the best qualities, skills and attributes you think to possess? 
  3. What kind of frequency would you like to feel a sense of appreciation and gratitude?
  4. What are the last 3 times you’ve felt the most amount of appreciation and gratitude?

Take time to answer these. Maybe talk them over with another Conscious Community member.  The reflection will get the gears turning as we enter into the season of giving and receiving thanks!
