Workplace Workbook Exercises
The 1-Principle
1) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. (Ignore the gag: Yeahhh, and do it first! And twice as hard!!)
No amount of money is worth compromising your personal integrity or stopping your personal growth. Be an optimist . With proper inter-personl sensitivity in the Work Place, Work Mates honor the 1-Principle (the first one )
Tension is the unconscious animal defensiveness which you feel emotionally when someone or something forces you to NOT continue your perspnal growth into your infinite potential.
Stress is the conscious animal defensiveness and desire to counter-attack which you feel intellectually against someone or something blocking your personal freedom to grow. When you cannot freely counterCattack-Cworker against bossC-the back of your brain, where your animal instincts are computed, cramps into stress.
The 1-Principle Game: Snap fingers or click tongue. This signals the forgetful person: "Hey, Friend! You’re getting too much into your self. You are forgetting about integrity and dignity. Don't abuse my human rights. Your behavior is beginning to cost me too much time and energy away from my work. You are forcing me to create too much defensive thought and emotion against your personal needs. Please balance your Self. Please look in your mirror and see what you are doing. Be a genius. Compromise. Try the middle-way. I like you, but please bring the harmony back between us, huh?"
Harmony is the secret of the happy office, just as it is of the happy life.
The 2 Goals
1) Company profit;
2 ) Personal growth.
If this company does not earn a profit, no salaries can be paid.
If this company does not teach each of us within it how to continue our personal growths into our whole brain potentials, we become nothing more than stagnant work machines. Other companies with happier bosses and employees create greater production efficiency and take our cash customers away from us.
If this company earns a profit, salaries and bonuses are paid.
If this company teaches boss and workers how to feed personal growth simultaneously with doing the work which creates the profit, then everybody profits humanistically. Everybody gets more apples.
The 2-Goals Game
1) What can you do to improve the intelligence and efficiency of your job to increase the profit of this company, thereby causing the company to give you a proC portional bonus?
2) What can this company do to increase your personal growth in harmony with your job, thereby giving the company lower turnover and higher productivity?
The 3-Emphathies
1) Put your Self in the other person’s head whenever necessary.
2) See the other person as she sees herself/himself; day and night.
3) Talk to the other person’s needs while explaining your needs.
Sympathy means I intellectually see your inside need but I stay outside of your emotional feelings. Empathy means I go inside your need intellectually and emotionally. Empathy puts me inside your head whenever you have an overwhelming problem and you need a friend to help you solve it.
Empathy is shared only among friends. Empathy worms under the hard crust of professional efficiency to allow the soft flow of friendly help to happen. Empathy makes the small office a humane place within which the hard-crusted professional efficiency still can be pursued to perform the service for the customers and to receive the profit from the customers.
Empathy is a tapeworm if it rots into one person giving all the giving and the other person receiving all the receiving. Empathy is not dangerous when it is balanced giving and receiving. Empathy is wisdom. The Empathy Game
When I touch my nose with my finger and look straight into your eyes, I am telling you that I am inside your head. I am your mirror. I see you as you see your Self. I feel you as you feel your Self. I now am talking to your needs first and to my needs secondly, or not at all.
The 4-Needs
1) To feel respected in the job being done;2) To feel un-bored, intensely interested, in the job being done;
3) To feel comfortable/curious/imaginative/friendly with Work Mates;
4) To be rewarded properly.
Each family has a dominant parent who leads the way so that the family avoids hunger, poverty, disease, and unhappiness. The boss of the Work Family makes the complex decisions which keep the customers coming in so that profits are made and salaries are paid. The work comes first. It must. But after that, human needs come second. They must be satisfied. In the intelligent, humane Work Place, company needs and personal needs are balanced. Harmonized. One helps the other.
The 4-Needs Tools
l) Ding-Ding Bell. When you feel a lack of respect, or misunderstood, or stressed, tap the small dingCding bell in the office. Whoever is first to ask you, "Hey Hawk! What’s buggin you!?"--so that you can vent your brain pressure and get back to the Job with clear thinking--gets to pick out a toy or a candy from the love bowl we keep filled in the office. (What kind of a second bell or sound can be whacked to say, "Helllooooo...I just feel happeeee workin todayyy!?," or, "Good MORNIN!! Twitter twitter chirp chirp--you should know what happened to last night! ! !"?)
2) Blackboard. Whenever you feel uncomfortable or tense with another person’s talk or behavior or attitude and can’t quite put it into words, scribble your feeling on the blackboard in the toilet. This will get the talk started so we all can relieve the increasing stress.
3) Corkboard. Each Monday fill out a 3 x 5 card:
"This week I need from you Work Mates.” Your itemized needs will indicate your deepest churnings and will allow others to adjust their needs to yours. This will decrease stress and increase harmony.
4) Family Meeting. Let us share a short, formal, weekly session to explain personal problems in the Job and to stimulate consensus solutions. Let us plan greater Job security and personal growth. This re-integrates each diverging individual into converging Work Family harmony.
The 5-Growths
1) Physical--health & pleasure
2) Intellectual--learning nurtures curiosity and imagination
3) Emotional--transcending negative moods into positive joys
4) Spiritual--transcending ego into the mysteries of life
5) Family--trust, cooperation, support, help, sharing, peace
The to improve brain function and to increase neural efficiency is via the 5-Growths. This causes you to zoom. To soar.
Because so few people have transcended into whole brain power, all people are under stress. The stress is caused by the genetic drive; by the genetic intelligence forcing growth. But the stress causes pain. Pain causes defenses. Each of us has developed defenses against the inside pain and the outside pain. These defenses create our basic personality. A personality is an armor of defense mechanisms protecting the individual against repressed inner pains remembered from childhood and expressed outer pains felt in the adult world. Simply by self-releasing one’s own self-defense mechanisms and discharging the repressed child pain memories, this newly freed energy self-circuits into the dormant frontal lobes and self-releases the "nirvana, born-again" transcendence. The work to self-release one’s own self-defense mechanisms, to discharge repressed child trauma memories and to experience transcendence can be done in the Work Place; on the Job. It can be done without diminishing work production efficiency. It can be done to increase work production efficiency.
1) What physical self-therapy and growth can you create for your Self while doing the Job?
2) What intellectual learnings can you discover to improve your personal growth while improving your production on the Job?
3) What emotional deepening and widening can you practice while enriching your personality toward your Work Mates?
4)What spiritual discoveries do you make between your Self/Job?
5)What kind of Work Family are you forming with Work Mates?
The 6-Deaths
1) Confusion
2) Pain
3) Fear
4 ) Lovelessness
5) Meaninglessness
6) Hopelessness
The 6-Deaths cause a child to repress the memory of each trauma behind a self-defensive quirk. An iron mask. The child grows into an adult. Rigid. The adult displays a personality of complex, self-defensive quirks used to cover up the memory of each child trauma. An iron body. When 2 such rigid, self-defensive personalities collide with each other, they cause conflict and stress. Robot clanking robot. If the collision takes place in the business office, the professional work is injured. War. But if the cause of the conflict and stress is cured, the professional work is enriched. (Yea!) Do this homework into your 6-Deaths only at home because it is too emotional and too disruptive and too snotty to do in the Work Place.
Self-Diagnosis
1) What memories do you still hold from childhood of confusion, pain, fear, lovelessness, meaninglessness, and hopelessness received from parents?
2) Write these down in your selfCtherapy notebook. Putting a trauma on paper releases it from repressed, unconscious hiding, where it poisons all other good thoughts and good emotions. Writing brings it up to con-scious awareness where it can be discharged more easily. Like stomach gas.
3) Interview (with tape recorder?) parents and relatives who can tell you about still deeper, unconscious traumata from earlier ages.
Act-I: Act-out a chosen trauma memory precisely as it happened. Relive the episode. Re-be your child. Re-experience the pain while your parent dominates you and creates the injustice which hurts you. Use full emotion of screaming, crying, vomiting. This transfers the trauma from shallow intellectual understanding to deepest emotionC al knowing.
Act-II: Act-out the episode again, but this time your child dominates your parent with your total adult intelligence, self-confidence and anger. This satisfies your need for justice. Revenge.
Act-III: Act-out the episode again, but this time teach your parent to do everything right and lovingly to you. Forgive your parent. Give your parent love. Salvation.Redemption . Re-birth.
The 7-Steps Into the Right Hemisphere
In a right-handed person, the left hemisphere of the brain dominates the personality and controls life. The left hemisphere computes the speaking of words, logical analysis and straight-line reasoning from A to Z. The right hemisphere is mostly dormant. If it can be awakened, it computes non-verbal, artistic, intuitive, dancing, flowing, non-linear love patterns. The left hemisphere is the drudge side of the brain--the survival side. The right hemisphere is the fun side of the brain--the pre-transcendence side, the child playsie funsie gamsie side. The genius side. The right hemisphere can be self-released in the Work Place.
The method is to pour one-minute of child playsie funsie gamsie into your right hemisphere and it will pump back one-hour of artistic, scientific-inventive, intuition-insight problem solving. It is like priming a farm pump. You pour in a little water to get it started and it gives back to you a lot of fresh water. The human brain simply works that way.
The 7-Steps work when they are based honestly upon the 1-Principle, 2-Goals, 3-Empathies, 4-Needs, 5-Growths, and 6-Deaths. Do the 7-Steps without threatening or injuring the Job; without irritating or insulting the private integrity of others.
1) What parts of the Job can be done backwards, up-side-down or in-side-out as child wit to dissolve boring routine into interest?
2) Which tools of the Job can be transfigured via imagination into which toys to play which special games following which esoteric rules?
3) Which home toys can be brought into the Work Place to increase production efficiency along with self-therapy and self-growth?
4) Which games are best played silently and privately? Which can be shared with Work Mates? With customers?
5) How can the Work Place be transmuted creatively into Play Place to increase work production, efficiency and happiness?
6) How can a Work Mate be transcended into a Play Mate?
7) What is the 7th question?
The 8-Creativities
1) Speech Learn a new word from the dictionary every day and use it on the Job in as many clever ways as possible. Listen to a tape recording of your voice.
Control your diction magnificently. With charming, subtle way can you radiate your telephone voice without being phoney? What does elocution mean? How can it enliven an office? Which drama character can you enter and be naturally through a day?
2) Intelligence. Share a new knowledge each day. An idea, a phrase, a wisdom, a newspaper paragraph thumb-tacked to the corkboard. Discuss books at lunchtime. Create a study group to study a single book systematically together.
3) Art. Share an exciting, life-enhancing art form each day…a picture, a poem, a sculpt, an oration, a flower, a music, a dance created from the Job.
4) Emotion. Invent artistic ways of communicating emotional insights into Life on the Job. Design a pegboard with each hole a gradation of emotions into which each individual puts her/his color pegs. How can different colored strings increase the message? What other toys and art forms can you invent from your right hemisphere to communicate more humanistically into the left hemispheres of office robots?
5) Etiquettes. Which ones can you invent for each routine office function and emotion? To dissolve boredom? To flee with glee? Create, formalize and practice an etiquette which dissolves a stress confrontation into a smiling withdrawal and reCapproachment with grace and dignity.
6) Rituals. Which ones can you invent for each day of the work week, work month and work year to enrich the status, dignity and nobility of each Work Mate? What formalized, automatic system can you invent like Boy Scout Merit Badges, to motivate Work Mates to pursue learnings and growths which are respectfully rewarded and genuinely honored?
7) Lunchtime Beauty Walk. City is not Life. Primal nature is Life. Life is the ultimate meaning. Each day is reborn into a higher truth, beauty and goodness if a new wonder of primal nature is contemplated in awe. A tree. A flower. A blade of grass. A snowflake. Contemplate totally. Meditate. Open your deeper reservoirs of sensitivity and enthusiasm. It circuits forward toward dormant frontal lobes; toward transcendence.
8) Telepathy. It is genetically encoded into each brain-Cin the dormant frontal lobes. Play with it. Such play automatically opens the circuits. Observe telepathic "coincidences" happening. Practice zapping messages toward each other in cooperative flow. Try auras. Try clairvoyance. Try pre-cognition. Accept the free gift of your normal paranormal powers.
