Maximize Counseling

Path for Growth with Alex Judd

Counseling helps you serve others by living a life of balance, integrity, and constant growth, counseling helps you guard against self-deception.

Five steps that you have to adopt and apply if you're going to maximize counseling:

1. Buy in a wholeheartedly

· You have to believe this is a worthwhile endeavor

· Your outcome will rarely exceed your outlook

Why you should seek out counsel:

1. People depend on you.

2. It feels better when you pay someone to listen.

3. You are capable of being an idiot.

4. View counseling as a deposit for an impending crisis.

2. Find the right person

· Shared source of truth

· Willingness to sit in awkwardness

· You can trust them

3. Have guts to be transparent

· Being transparent helps you live a life of balance, integrity, and constant growth

· Growth and comfort do not coexist

· What’s the most uncomfortable thing?

4. Play the role of narrator

· It's not helpful if it stays in your head/heart

· Five core emotions: Anger, Sadness, Gladness, Fear, Shame

5. Reflect, prepare, and commit

· Reflect: Take 10 minutes to reflect and write down, then share with 1 person

· Prepare: Most people don’t get what they want because they haven’t identified it

· Commit: “Commitment is when you fall in love with something so much, that you put structure around it for the times when you no longer feel in love with it.” -David Brooks
