GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND INTO YOUR LIFE
Get Out of Your Head…
and Into Your Life by Wayne M. Levine
WHEN I FIRST STARTED IN MY LINE OF WORK 20 YEARS AGO, THE PHRASE, “GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD,” WAS CONSIDERED JARGON. ONLY PEOPLE IN THE TRANSFORMATIONAL WORLD WERE USING IT. NOW, I THINK MOST PEOPLE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN OR OUT OF YOUR HEAD. When Jack is in his men’s group he’s constantly thinking about whether it’s the right time to chime in, and wonders if what he has to say is of value. He’s in his head. It means you’re not present. You’re thinking about something other than what’s happening or what’s being said. You’re analyzing or worrying rather than experiencing. Whatever you’re doing, you’re not really here—not present—not in the now.
