    Hi Mark,

    Ah yes, Psycho-Cybenetics is a classic.

    I know this is somewhat a matter of semantics, but rather than thinking in terms of abolishing a negative self-image, or even spending much time hanging out there, it can be more helpful (and inspiring) to think in terms of whom we would love to grow into. Meaning, what would we love future us to be like? What is the grandest, most inspired version of ourselves we can imagine? What is the next evolution of ourselves as we continue to grow, develop, and change as a result of the choices we make and experiences we have on a daily basis?

    Psychologists have found that even though we acknowledge how much we have changed in the past, we nevertheless underestimate how much we will change in the future. So when you think about how much you’ve changed in the last 5-10 years, consider how much more change you are capable of in the next 5-10 years. Pretty wild to think about how much is possible.

    Hope this helps!

There's an LIVE component too! (for educators)

If you’d like to explore some of the most essential skills and techniques in the course live, with a cohort of curious, thoughtful, supportive, and like-minded educators (and a few mildly irreverent or benevolently sarcastic folks mixed in to make sure we don’t get too serious), that’s also an option!

Starting Thursday, February 3rd, we’ll meet via Zoom once a week, and go through selected strategies related to effective practice, managing nerves, and achieving flow states under pressure. We’ll do some in-class playing experiments (don’t worry – you’ll be muted!), short weekly homework assignments, and small-group breakout sessions to help you integrate these new skills into your teaching.

This 6-week live course is normally $199, but is available at 50% off the regular cost when bundled with Beyond Practicing. For more details about the live course (and dates) CLICK HERE.
