Welcome to Soul Hiker espresso – the very first of a series of posts which capture the essence of Soul Hiker in short snippets of interesting and helpful information about personal development and related topics.
This issue’s theme: Improving life through tweaking those filter knobs!
We all have and use filters! These filters make us understand and interpret the things happening around us in a particular way. It makes us learn, act and respond in a particular way too. What are these filters? The filters I am talking about are things like our sensory perception, our beliefs and our past experiences which allow us to recognize patterns and give those patterns meaning.
Ultimately these filters are tremendously powerful stuff we are unaware of. If one learns how these filters work and how to tweak them the possibilities are endless – Learn 100 times faster, work super smarter, have wonderful relationships, persuade people and grow in all aspects of life. Why? well let’s hear it from some experts shall we? These are a few links which will tell you more about filters and how to use them:
5 Ways to Listen better: A really interesting TED talk by sound expert Julian Treasure. In his riveting speech he explains how we live in a world where we are constantly bombarded by noise which ‘deafens’ our ability to listen and pay attention to our immediate environment. We are losing our ability to listen and make sense of our beautiful world. He shows us 5 very practical tips on how to recalibrate our hearing abilities and improve our ‘sound filters’.
Personalities, conversations & frames: A very interesting post by Children book writer Anna Bradford. Anna talks about the way we filter our reality as our ‘reality frame’. She then quite eloquently argues that some people have the ability to draw other people into their reality frame. Such people can be great communicators, leaders or simply people expressive of their arts and passions.
The secret of persuasion: In this short video, Meredith Bell calls on her experience on the subtle but powerful art of persuasion. This is an excellent continuation to the above link. It shows how we can improve our influence and persuasion through understanding ‘reality frames’ and subjective perspectives.
