Satir workshops

Have you been having too many time and energy leaks in/at your work?
Need to rebalance yourself as a professional?
Are you questioning your self worth?
Questioning financial losses possibly related to supporting other people’s addictive behaviors?
Did the foundation of what you held sacred disappear?
Did you lose trust in self, life, and others?

No need to seek or sink any further !!!

This is a five step plan that is guaranteed to work!

You can focus on transforming all of that pain to become an even more perfect professional.

My jester wrote this, transforming pain, sadness and loss into humor. In case you really want to try it, a word of warning: be careful, for who you meet on your way up, you will also meet on your way down; and never forget these are just masks.

Step one

Work hard to turn off your sincere, open, and loving communication. What you say and write is to be professional only. Because your behaviour may betray your good intentions, you will have to practice and emphasize daily gestures expressing you mean what you say. Begin with easy gestures like “dismissal”. Practice some contempt intonations for tonality. More supporting messages can be given in things like fitting garments to support your new approach to leadership. And, whatever you do, do not show any remorse about anything you have done, and make sure you do not have witnesses to your kindnesses. Kindness is for in the home, not for tough professionals like us.

And if you wish to hone your dismissive gesture skills to excellence, our esteemed colleague Rick Brenner can help you on your way and even gives some suggestions as to where you can find even more:

Step two

Stop trying to understand your self. You are a mystery. Accept it. Stop staring at your navel. This step is a bit harder than the previous one, but not much. And you can think about the gains to get you through this step. Hurray! This effectively frees us from having to explore (re)sources and examine our own character, our distorted ways of thinking, and lack of coping skills (if any . Meaning, we no longer have to waste time and energy on effective communication, problem solving, and last but not least, emotional pain!

Step three

Check every communication you make. Remove all loving, living, and personal information. Not only are your communications to be impersonal, you also have to remove all specifics, or else you get all these people coming up messing up your focused plans with grounded alternatives that may also work. It just causes too much chaos.

Not everything is as important as you following your sacred want. And be careful not to cause too much good karma by truly listening to people, for these people may actually feel heard and seen, and likely will want more of that, and more, and more … it will take you away from your focus. Learn some quick fixes to stop these minor, yet verrry annoying, distractions.

Step four

Do not witness pain you inflict or invoke in others or pain inflicted upon you by someone else. A special technique for this is jumping out of your body. In superreasonable state these things can’t harm you for they seem unreal.

Do not initiate discussions in the organization, and nip emerging discussions others initiate in the bud. One simple way of doing that is by not responding to any attempts to involve you. If people insist and ask you face to face, you can always use a little contempt in your intonation when you decline. You already practiced for this important ingredient in step 1, and by now it should not present you with any problems. Act now. Apply that "dismissal" gesture and contempt intonation. Add a little edge of irritation. Very effective.

In short, organisational discussions is for them, the emotion addicts. These people apparently can not do alone like you can. Enter in one of these community things and it soon becomes a pit taking aaaall your energy away from your focus.

Step five

Integrate your new guards. There, you’re all perfect(ly alone) now. The Master of your Universe. I don’t really need to qualify you here as you, for we are one and everything is as it should be. I was always you, for what you heard and saw of "me" was yours.

Up until now you may have believed you were reading Satir Satire in this article. You’re not. The cosmic joke is still to come:

Because nothing exists here that you did/do not create, there are also no others to blame. We can own all reflections rippling back as effects of our own creation and we can choose again, with a guarantee it was/is our own choice. For that, we can take responsibility.

Look below at how one action causes another, and another, like ripples in a pond. And how everything is related and connected? In this state you can safely reason without attachment and can choose to become responsively responsible, which is not entirely the same as detached and reactive. If and when you choose to partake in life, and how, was/is your choice.

Do you wish to be forgiven for pain you may have caused all your relations in the first four steps?
