They never expected THIS to hatch out of their egg!
“If an egg is in your nest, you sit on it and keep it warm. It doesn’t matter whose egg it is.” That’s one of the many lines that brought tears to my eyes.

Amy worked on this quite a bit with me yesterday. Looking forward to finishing the edits and maybe making it into 2 or 3 posts. Thank you!

Hi @bodymindhypnoticgmail-com, I’m confused. So if this is an ask me anything post, it does’t follow the structure and you have a call to action in the video that is murky + a call to action in the text that is asking people to drop a video (but not sure what of) and then the format was to have them ASK you quesitons about this.
Here is your…Read More

Hi Shannon,
Thank you for your note. Your thoughts are always appreciated.
My apologies for my lack of clarity, when I said “this was the last of the videos I shot pre-Ask Me Anything”. I shot 3 videos before we started the Ask-Me-Anything series. One of them I re-did in the Ask-Me-Anything format, and thank you for your kind comments on tha…Read More

And the idea of asking for videos showing how people do their own unique versions of Confidence came from what I thought was a wonderful suggestion from Amy during one of the August sessions. I ran w/ it, even though the video & written requests don’t match up. I’m trying to loossen up my must-be-perfect vs. my get-it-done sides. LOL

Hey @bodymindhypnoticgmail-com – no appologies need and no worries at all. 🙂 I was just confused on trying to give the feedback, I didn’t understand (or missed it) that you had started before. I love that you are letting go of the must be perfect – yay! Keep up the great content creation.

Hi Shannon,
Thank you. you for the encouragement. I am much more comfortable putting out content, and I could not have done that w/o the two of you.I should have been clearer about intent, and what format I was using, especially if not AMA (last month’s topic). It is hard for you to give dadvice if I am not clear on what help I need or what my…Read More

Here is a new video, I made. It was shot before Ask Me Anything. But I am putting a link to it in the comments of my Ask Me Anything vid. https://www.facebook.com/joel.elfman1/videos/1366883367229324

Hey there Joel. Once again, this is great snipped content for showing your expertise, but you are not getting the full effect of Ask Me Anything content – which is to get people to ASK YOU QUESTIONS. 🙂

Hi Shannon,
Again, my apologies for my lack of clarity, this video was shot pre-Ask-Me-Anything and not meant to use that format. I posted it here, to show I was getting things out the door using my CP type. I will certainly consider doing something similar using the Ask-Me-Anything format. And I will sit for a little bit, and ponder any…Read More

This was a video post – see FB link – https://www.facebook.com/joel.elfman1/videos/797480928727954
so I kept the text simple

Great video–full of emotion. Did you watch it back? Are you looking the camera in the lens? To me, it looks like you have flashes of looking at it, but you’re mostly looking below it. Do you see what I mean? It would be so powerful if you were speaking straight to me instead of my belly button.

Hi Ruth, Thanks, I totally hear you & I think I’m going to have to get a new camera. The lens is above eye level, so although. I’m getting better at looking at the screen, I’m still below the level of the lens. Looking up higher feels awkward, a new camera might be the best option, and allow me to talk more naturally, and look right at you.

Just keep rolling with what you got. If you were consistent in posting videos, I would say maybe. But right now… keep it going.

Hi Amy,
Well, a got 1 reply.
They asked: “OOH! Can you share what you did?
What did you say?
What did you imagine?
Did you move your body?”That’s a lot of questions, how do I handle that?
Do I just narrow it down by saying something like “Those are a lot of questions.
Let’s start w/ one, voice….”
Do I narrow it a different way?
And how…Read More-

1. Don’t discredit anyone who comments on your stuff. They are all apart of your aligned audience. you need them. Love on them ❤️
I think saying what you said – maybe with a little humor. Geezzz, you really took the “ask me anything” part for real 😉 Thanks,
Let’s start with voice. (you can describe the what and the why. Try to stay away from…Read More-

Thanks, Amy! They are a very good friend, if the love didn’t show in my reply, it is definitely there. And thank you for the suggestion. It was such a big set of questions, it threw me off a bit.

Hi Amy,
Is this a reasonable answering the “what & why” or is it still too much info?
“The voices inside our heads impact us, from both the words & the way we say them to ourselves. even when the voice is so deeply buried our conscious mind doesn’t even hear it.
In my particular case, I heard the voice & the emotion it was carrying loud & s…Read More

Joel – THIS follows the format and your caption here is perfect (and look at the views – much more clear and better engagement) – simplicity is key here: Ask Me Anything!
Topic: How I changed the aggressive, nasty, hostile, internal voice in my head to give myself more love, kindness & understanding
What questions do you have for me?

I am terrified of rattlesnakes! So there I was, hiking in the bone-dry Texas canyon, keeping my eyes glued to the ground. All of a sudden, something caught my attention behind the bush up ahead. My heart stopped as I spotted an enormous bison blocking my path. A pissed-off bison, mind you… and it came charging at me! I quickly darted behind…Read More

My main question after this prompt, even being familiar with your story, is “What does a bison have to do with burnout?” Is that what you’re looking for, or did you want to provoke a more substantive burnout-related discussion?
-
![Profile picture of Brenda Uekert]()
I’ve gone back and forth on the prompt. Maybe it’s time for an experiment?

I’m in favor!

I like this question as it is written: How a charging bison gave me a crash course on burnout.
I see where Ruth is coming from that is might be more thought provoking. I think you should experiment with this one and see what happens.

You have probably experimented by now… but what it tells me is that if a charging bison can teach you about burnout, I know I can ask you absolutely anything !

![Profile picture of JoelElfman]()
It is an amazing concept.
I would possibly open slightly differently.
“There I was hiking in the bone-dry Texas canyon, keeping my eyes glued to the ground for rattlesnakes. Frankly, I am terrified of rattlesnakes! All of sudden….”
While I love the line “what a bison taught me about burnout”, I get that a charging bison can teach you about str…Read More

@ruthviolincox-net – when I saw this come up on my feed I smiled. Once again, same feedback as before – this is GREAT story telling and insight and example. How does it relate to music or instruments. I think bridging the gap will make it even stronger.
