Pinch Sorting
The purpose of this exercise: We’ve created the Pinch Sorting chart to help you recenter and act from a creative place any time you feel At the Mercy.
When to use this chart: We can pinch ourselves quite a bit! Use this chart as often as possible to build the muscle of sorting your pinch. Turn moments that you feel At the Mercy into opportunities for introspection. By becoming clear about what’s actually going on, clarifying your activated Ego Drivers, and looking for other factors you may have previously missed; you can regain your creative agency instead of staying At the Mercy of your feelings toward yourself, others or the broader environment.
Pinch Sorting Instructions – Ego High
The purpose of this exercise: We’ve created the Ego Stroke Sorting chart to help you recenter when you feel a wave of high (different from a sense of accomplishment and gratitude) that will inevitably lead you to protect and promote your ego, and a space of competition with other people.
When to use this chart: Use the “flash” process for fleeting moment of small high (e.g., someone pays a compliment, you get a small vindication,…) and the “express” process for moment of significant high (e.g., getting a promotion, being publicly acknowledge by a power figure,…). Enjoying acknowledgment is not a counterproductive. To the contrary, it is a power moment of celebration and of reinforcing an impact that you are having or contributing to. However our ego can inflate our contribution to the point of excluding others, make us be at the mercy of the fear of losing that approval and put us on a treadmill to strive for more of it at the expense of our most important goal and the connect way that we want to pursue them. By sorting that stroke, you can allow yourself to appreciate the moment and reinforce your sense of purpose while keeping on track with the creating the context you want for yourself and others.
Express Pinch Sorting
The purpose of this exercise: We’ve created the Express Pinch Sorting chart to help you quickly (in 5-8 min) recenter and act from a creative place any time you feel At the Mercy. This chart works for small pinches. If your state is not improving with this chart or if you know your pinch is more intense, use the full size Pinch Sorting chart.
