3 Things that describe him.
Color: Rob would be a magical changing colour. Depending on the surface the medium the colour is applied on.
His story:
His childhood was hard as he had a difficult time socialising by mimicking the social norms. To the stark contrast with his two younger sisters that had a big social network. This created many patterns of being wrong for him. Being creative journaling, playing music, creating fantasy worlds to escape from feeling worthless in society helped him. Looking back he realised that from an early age he knew that he was on the right path. When he moved to the mountains in his teenage years everything changed in a mater of weeks. He got healthier, lost a lot of weight, made easy friends and fell in love with rock climbing and nature. He started connecting with improvisation music and created a social network.
All he wanted as kid was to be normal. Being different, use his body differently helped him to improve his communications skills as he had to work harder to be understood and understanding social norms.
A secret not many know:
Since childhood Rob is squatting on the potty. He even dreams of a car he could squat whilst driving.
Advice on Breath:
Most of the western world is breathing too shallow. We breath in the chest instead of deep into the belly. This can cause stress in the body.
TIP: “The 3 Part Breath”. Put one hand on your belly, breath in and expand the space in-between the fingers. Put the other hand on your chest and when the belly is full, expand the chest. Then release the breath out first in the chest and then belly. Repeat until you feel relaxed.
Creativity.
Creativity is a loop of opening up and closing your mind to new input. This loop enables you to practice, expand your competency during your lifetime. After you have been open and absorb the new you will then close for new information and focus and practice to master the new skill until you feel the need for new learnings. That makes an innovator. The circle and capacity to open up and then focus creating a wider perspective than a specialist.
A specialist on the other hand is highly focused on one topic. Those people are never open for new information.
