The Gordon Ramsey SYMMYA Story

Once upon a time, in a world far far away, there was SYMMYA.

What is SYMMYA?

It was a program I developed called Shut Your Mouth, Move Your Arse. Ahh, the good ole days when we could speak freely without offending anyone.

It was a fitness program really, but it evolved to encompass allll of life.. Stop talking, start walking. Stop just babbling on about the things you want to do in life, and start walking your talk.

It was effective at the time, because in a time long ago, we could speak directly to the problem. People would get the message without feeling triggered or attacked. It worked because back then, we took responsibility for ourselves, we didn't go looking for someone else to blame for our own shortcomings.

One day I was in Brisbane at a Life Coaching Event - and I happened to mention my program. One of the other participants said, Gawfd You're like the Gordon Ramsey of Life Coaching. LOL..

Maybe not as much swearing, but certainly the tolerance levels for excuses was as low as Gordons.

I wonder what happened to the world? Nowadays we can't say much without offending someone. Its like we can't have an opinion, or a point of view anymore.

So, I have mellowed. The approach is much gentler now, and people are able to make excuses for their point in life so they don't have to get uncomfortable.

Somedays I long for the time where we could speak freely, where we could call people out for their excuses, bring their patterns of poor choices to light and allow them to heal.

Not now. We have to let people wallow. Identify with their conditions, allow the condition to define who they are.

Sad really.

I really believe the world needs more Gordons right about now.
