A Guide to using "Insights on One Page"
Welcome to the "Insights on One Page" worksheets offering powerful processes
that will support your change and growth.
How to get the most from your 'Insights' page:
-
Protect an hour of uninterrupted
time to complete each worksheet.
- Before you begin, take a
few deep breaths to relax yourself. Create an intention of attaining new
insights and the change you desire.
- Please answer all
questions to the best of your ability. The more desire, focus, attention
and openness you bring to this exercise, the more quality and meaningful
results you will achieve.
- Write your initial answers
on a separate piece of paper and then summarize your main conclusions in
the boxes on the form. Do your best to capture the essence of your top
answers in a word or short phrase. The more concisely you can describe an
answer, the more power it will have to focus your mind.
- After you've answered a
question, ask yourself, "Are there any more answers?" and listen for inner
guidance.
- Do your own thinking, then
use any additional recommended resources for more insights.
- Once you have completed
the process, review your summarized answers and then write down your
action steps or final results and prioritize them. As you review your
notes, you might want to circle, highlight or underline your main
insights.
- These are challenging
questions. Don't worry that you haven't got all of the answers or even the
best answers. The ideas that first come up for you are fine for now. Allow
the process to bring you better and better answers over time. Just relax
and do your best at each sitting.
- For best results,
periodically review your worksheet. Add new insights as they come. This
will assist you in integrating the information presented there for greater
effectiveness and lasting results.
- As you start the process
of self-exploration, it does not stop. Expect new insights and answers to
keep coming to the surface.
Why does this work?Each "Insights on One Page" worksheet can quickly give you heightened
awareness and clarity around the topic being addressed. Getting focused and
clear really helps us get results, so this alone is valuable. However, our
process is particularly powerful due to the format used. Here's why:
- The one page form helps you see the big picture and details all at the same
time. This stimulates whole brain thinking.
- Listing all answers on one page overwhelms the rational left brain and
engages the intuitive right brain. Quality questions also stimulate more
creative right brain activity. This supports you in making new connections and
in more fully integrating the material. It also activates the subconscious mind
to work with the information.
- Most of the worksheets include both positive and negative perspectives.
Facing these dualities creates a positive tension in our minds that seeks to
find balance between them. This fosters continual change and integration. We
begin to balance the past and future, blocks and potentials, the head and the
heart.
- The one page form helps you reduce complex issues into key points which can
be easily reviewed, remembered and acted upon. If it is in sight, it is in mind.
Consistent attention through quickly reviewing what is important to us helps
create the change we seek in our lives.
- Many of the processes work on 3 levels:
o Inventory - to assess the situation now.
o Path - to identify where you want to be
o Action - to plan how to get there.
- These 'Insights' worksheets are powerful journaling tools that get you
thinking in new ways and writing down your thoughts. Both of these actions
support us in moving forward in our lives.
Enjoy your journey!
