In this episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast, a participant describes how he “got wound around the axle” with the automated system of his internet provider. He just wanted to reach a real person to talk to. Listen as he does his work and find some turnarounds. Timeline 0:00 — “Join Us For a Virtual Retreat” 1:25 — Intro 3:30 — Inquiry: “Spectrum should it make it a lot easier for me to reach someone.” 36:51 — Newsletter: “How Big of a Mirror Do You Need to See Yourself?” Open Session Recording The dialogue in the first half of this episode is taken from one of my weekly Open Sessions. You can be a participant in Open Sessions each week to do The Work with me or ask your questions. Listen as this participant does The Work on the thought, “Spectrum should it make it a lot easier for me to reach someone.” (Spectrum is the name of his internet provider.) Can you find a similar experience in your own life? This is an unedited recording so you can experience how I do The Work in real life with any stressful thought that comes up. Newsletter Text In the second half of the recording, I read my article, “How Big of a Mirror Do You Need to See Yourself?” During the reading, I add new things that come to mind in addition to the text I wrote. I encourage you to subscribe to my newsletter to get new articles like this one each week. Bonus Videos If you prefer video, you can watch the following sections of the podcast in HD video.
