SDA LOGISTICS
Understanding the SDA Program so you get the results you want.
SDA is a robust, step-by-step coaching program - designed to help students gain mastery in stress-resilience, mindset, and emotions. Students are taught to process through stressful, upsetting, disruptive, irritating, and otherwise negative situations in ways that create peace and calm rather than resentment and regret.
Great for those seeking self-mastery in life, love, and purpose.
Retraining the brain for real change takes time, focus, determination, and daily practice.
I know that's a lot to master, which is why the curriculum is so robust, and I'm here to help you!
Success Dynamics Academy:
-Is NOT a quick fix program.
-Has at least a year's worth of curriculum.
As you apply and practice the Awareness Exercises consistently, you are quite likely to see positive changes and continuous improvement as soon as you get started.
The SDA program includes:
-training videos
-exercise worksheets
-journal prompt worksheets
-a way to share insights & comments
-the ability to ask questions
-coaching
SDA is not a "pick and choose" or "skip around randomly" information portal.
-This training is designed like a house. We start with a foundation and build in a sequence that prepares students for the next piece.
-Because some parts take more time to learn and practice thoroughly before moving to the next step, new training or coaching will release into your SDA learning portal at different intervals, usually every 4-8 weeks.
For best results, please:
1. Start with the very first video post in the "Gear For Your Journey" Module.
2. Download the worksheets. (View Sample Worksheets here).
3. Watch the video training.
4. Do all of the worksheets for at least the recommended amount of time.
5. Go through the material in order the first time through and repeat as necessary.
6. Work on it a little every day. Redirect your thoughts to what you're learning here as often as possible.
Failure to do the whole program how it's been designed can lead to confusion, impatience, frustration, and not seeing the results you want to see.
RETRAINING THE BRAIN TAKES DAILY PRACTICE.
An example of how to work SDA into your life would be to pick which day of the week to watch the videos (weekend days may be a great choice for you). Spend the next 7 days doing the worksheets, awareness exercises, and journaling. Choose a specific time(s) each day dedicated to the worksheet, awareness exercise, and journal time. Groove it into the daily routine, and there you have it!
Replay the videos as often as you want and practice the exercises again as necessary.
5-15 minutes a day will get you started. 30+ minutes a day will put retraining in full swing! Think about this for a moment. If anyone, child or adult, wants to learn a new skill - a musical instrument, sport, second language, etc. - in most cases, we expect to put in a lot of practice.
That's because acquiring a new skill takes focus and dedication.
If we are serious in our commitment to getting good at it, even master it, we make time for daily practice.
Retraining our brain with new ways of thinking and handling challenges is no different. Get a daily practice regimen in place, and you'll see much better results more quickly.
The goal is that you learn to use these exercises all the time to improve and redirect your thought processes and emotional navigation. You won't start there, of course, but the sooner you create a daily practice culture, the quicker you will create an improved way of thinking and responding to life's roller coaster.
KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON YOURSELF, EVEN IF YOUR REASONS FOR BEING HERE INVOLVE SOMEONE ELSE.
SDA can help you find answers for relationship conflict; however, you may need to adjust the order and the direction to apply the curriculum from what you desire.
When learning new information, most of us want to share it and use it as quickly as possible with the people we are concerned about or are having trouble with; however, SDA will not be that kind of information.
The focus here is on helping you master stress-resilience, mindset, and emotions. As you do this, your perspective will change, as will your view of the challenges currently bothering you.
Most students find that their conflicts begin to resolve as they focus on examining themselves with the different "lenses" they learn about in SDA. Often, the people they experience conflict with or are concerned about enrolling in SDA and begin working on themselves. Both parties then see even more improvement in their lives and relationships.
I strongly recommend that if you have conflict, a stressful relationship, or are concerned about someone else's state of mind or behavior, do not discuss the issue using the SDA curriculum, even if both parties are enrolled in an SDA program.
Rehashing or venting about the problems, even if using new information, is still rehashing and venting. The relationship dynamics will stay the same even though you now have a new vocabulary. Trying something new but keeping much the same can cause even more frustration for all parties involved. This is part of a stage known as Experimenting I, which you will learn much more about later.
Trying to work together on each other's issues is not a viable equation. Individual issues require individuals to work on their own challenges.
Focus on doing SDA for yourself. Limit, or better yet eliminate, discussion about the problems until you have been actively working all of your Pain Points through the Cycles daily using all of the "shortcut lenses" training for at least three months.
