The Course

Jonathan was recently invited to write an article for "Take Back the Kitchen: Overcoming the Obstacles to Cooking" http://takebackthekitchen.com/focus-in-the-kitchen/ He shared his insights on taking control in the kitchen.  Life is a like a roller coaster, some days you get to ride the good feelings up and up and up while other days give your stomach churning drops. On days like those it can feel like the world is spinning out of control and nothing seems to be going your way… So what can you do?
On days like those it is important to find a way to reassert control in your life and find a way to stop the negative cycle of thoughts that a bad day causes. You can do this by focusing on something that you CAN do. Instead of dwelling on all the things that you can’t control, you can take back your power in the kitchen. The first step in this process is creating an environment that you choose. This means that the music, lighting, and even the recipe, is yours to choose. Now there might be some snags, such as whether or not you have all the ingredients. If that’s the case, then you must find a solution, try a new perspective, and figure out what to do. Simple problem solving victories like these can make you feel stronger and more capable, both in and out of the kitchen. The second step is to focus on the creative process of cooking. Each recipe that you encounter is a guide map to get you from base components to a harmonious meal. This can feel a little like life at times, as you attempt to puzzle out how everything works together to create a successful outcome. In recipes, and in life, take it one step at a time, with full focus on craftsmanship and detail. When you’re cutting carrots think about cutting carrots. Devote your attention to the task at hand and let go of what happened before. If we attempt to think about everything at once, the recipe won’t work. The same is true for life. Focus on what is in front of you and do it to the best of your ability. Don’t worry how everything will work together because one step at a time it will come together. The final step is to taste and enjoy your food. During times of great stress, we tend to rush around, attempting to get everything done. This can raise your anxiety and stress level even more because you don’t feel like you have time to stop. After a day of rushing around and taking care of everyone else, you need to find a way to unwind from your tightly-wound state. So don’t just scarf down the meal that you have taken the time to make… sit down, be present and enjoy! Focus on the taste and textures of something wonderful that YOU have created. This will help you relax, bringing your world back into focus and under control. Jonathan Yatsky Jonathan enjoys his time in the kitchen, especially when he’s preparing a meal for a group of friends. He’s even found a way to enjoy washing the dishes! He is a practicing therapist with a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology, an author, Course leader and public speaker.

What do you want more of:
Do you realize that abundance begins with you? It’s wrapped up in your beliefs about who you are, what you feel you deserve, and how the world works. Our beliefs are often so deeply held that they are invisible to us. We can’t see how they help us or hold us back. In The Course, you will have a chance to uncover what you believe about scarcity and abundance. You will find out how to switch off the “scarcity autopilot” that’s unconsciously bringing you more of what you don’t want. You’ll learn how to attract what you want and remove the mental and emotional barriers that are in your way. The Course starts you down the path of intentionally creating the life you’ve dreamed. Join us and unlock the door to a life of greater abundance. 11/27/2017 RelationshipsAll around the world, the relationships we create and the bonds we share are important to us. These relationships enrich our lives as we travel on our journey together. When relationships work, they help make our lives exciting and beautiful. Yet, when relationships are problematic or absent, it’s another story. Sometimes even the best relationships can be challenging.
What’s going on with the relationships in your life? Would it make a difference in your life if you could:

The Course can help you access tools that you can use to create wellness and vitality. We often think that health is something that happens to us, but in reality we have much more control and say about the state of our health than we think. In many ways, our thoughts and intentions are like the food we eat. Some thoughts and viewpoints can be toxic, while others are nourishing and health-giving. In The Course, we can help you see what is holding you back from being healthy. You will uncover options that you haven't seen before that will allow you to create a new relationship with your health and well being. Do you want to experience results such as:
