I met Ras when my blog was still small, I didn't know how to write or speak, and after seeing an announcement about her upcoming trainings, I offered to interview her. This interview, which you will be able to hear soon, is my first attempt at interviewing.<\/p>\n
...Why do I say that? Not because I want to draw attention to myself. <\/p>\n
You see, Rasa created the "L\u016b\u0161ie" training so that Lithuanian people who want to start something new would have a basis: a community where they could openly communicate, share, and support. Should have knowledge. Practical exercises. Stairs.<\/p>\n
Later on, I copied some of my training techniques from Rasa. Because Rasa's knowledge works. And that's why... I present to you:<\/p>\n
I grew up in a village, in a simple family. When I was little, I spent a couple of years in a sanatorium, maybe I learned to think furiously and ask all kinds of questions there?<\/p>\n In the tenth grade, I came across a psychological book, after reading it I immediately realized that I wanted to be a psychologist more than an entrepreneur. A few years later, after reading that book, I was surprised: what made it so special to me at that time? Apparently, the book itself was not so moving, but it showed that what I think about so often is a broad science.<\/p>\n This personal experience often reminds me that information does not necessarily have to be exclusive, new and of high quality. Sometimes it's enough to just read one thought or get into the right situation and everything in your mind blossoms with enlightenment. <\/p>\n Just as apples leave the apple tree when they are ripe, the Lynx program was born for me. The beginning was when I came up with the idea of creating such a continuing program for my colleagues. Only she was alive and quickly reincarnated into the online "Lush".<\/p>\n Before releasing the Lynx, I was overwhelmed by many questions:<\/p>\n It seems that the spirit of the Lynx was following me, sticking its curious tail into my activities. Over time, I realized that I wanted to create a self-contained web-based tool that would connect many people to work together and benefit from the healing effect of the community. That's how the Lynx was born.<\/p>\n I don't know what Lithuanians lack the most - I probably haven't traveled enough to be able to make an intelligent comparison. And Lithuanians are different, like different apples from the same apple tree. But for many, self-confidence is an important obstacle and at the same time a goal.<\/strong><\/p>\n ...A few years ago, I conducted a small online survey, according to the results of which self-confidence is one of the most desirable qualities of our compatriots, but there is supposedly a lack of time and preparation to strengthen this quality.<\/p>\n Everything here is very connected - start strengthening any of the personal areas and others will start to strengthen. Personality is like a network of overlapping, intersecting, subordinate qualities.<\/p>\n However, I pay special attention to self-confidence.<\/strong> I would call it the source and essential condition of many desirable qualities and habits. Of course, as a result...<\/p>\n If we trust ourselves, we achieve our goals much more easily, work more efficiently, solve problems more effectively, communicate more closely with others and ourselves, love and allow ourselves to be loved. Yes, self-confidence protects us from the unhealthy attachment or over-sensitivity that makes us look only for people who treat us nicely.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat if not assuredness<\/strong>, motivates us? Only when we feel strong can we stop being afraid of all kinds of things that might never happen."<\/p>\n Rasa Norbute<\/strong><\/p>\n No matter how many articles or sermons we take in, they will not do us as much good as they could. If we have too little self-confidence, no amount of success tips will help. We simply won't be able to apply them...<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, when we feel strong, we need much less instruction - we naturally find solutions to our problems and paths to our dreams. True, you need to trust not only yourself, but also others.<\/p>\n "Active L\u016b\u0161is" will enrich activities and everyday life. Interesting activities and happy everyday life naturally lead you forward. It is an inexhaustible source of true happiness and inspiration. They encourage you to dream, plan and try until you succeed. They engage and do not let go.<\/p>\n Attention to details, awareness, minimalism, discoveries, desired habits, daily rituals, closeness with yourself and others fills everyday life with joy, fulfillment and relaxation.<\/p>\n For example, many successful people start their morning with meaning.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, what do 80 percent of people do in the first 15 minutes of the morning? They are checking their phones! So that's why I believe that engaging, interesting work and an inspiring routine can heal better than a psychologist, self-help books or just another training.<\/p>\n Successive reincarnation into the Lynx takes place. A participant registers for some obscure program, then goes through a long selection and an even longer path to the start of the program. In the program space, he finds everything he needs to start his manic development.<\/p>\n First of all, they are very different tasks. <\/strong>They differ in complexity, involvement, subject matter. One day the Lynxes are trying to buy rice at the bank, the next day they are analyzing and stroking their fears on paper, the next day they are having an open conversation with a friend, and the next day they are rapidly expanding their thinking and problem-solving powers.<\/p>\n When performing tasks, participants obey certain laws that ensure effective development, weaken psychological defense mechanisms, help make friends with other participants, and involve striving to the tip of the tail. Game-like, unique, daily monitoring of progress, management and systematic self-reflection also help to achieve change.<\/p>\n However, to make it easier and more fun for them, the whole program resembles a new life with new friends. The lynxes support each other, pet each other and sometimes make fun of each other or me in unison.<\/p>\n For me, the Lynx reminds me of an accelerated life: success and failure, happiness and tears, challenges and peace, friendship and competition, freedom and duty live together with Lynxes. It is safer in the lynx than in life, so here you can more confidently experiment with yourself and your behavior.<\/p>\n Almost all feedback from participants is very good or excellent. It can't be otherwise, because Lynxes are very attached to their fur and reach everything themselves with their claws. The tyrants achieve less, which is satisfying for both them and me. Not everyone has the time and energy for intensive development, and the program adapts to this. So - what one sows, that is what he reaps.<\/p>\n As my grandmother (still) tells me - you reap what you sow:<\/strong><\/p>\n I was already fed up with the wisdom of others. When you start listening to the wind in your head, your own imagination starts to be enough. But at the moment my winds have calmed down, so I start listening to strangers - I'm back to books again.<\/p>\n I was influenced by more than one book. As a teenager, I imitated the behavior of book characters with great devotion for a while - I was particularly fond of copying the main character of The Godfather book.<\/p>\n A few popular psychology books also crept into me. I used to write various tips in a thick diary. Later I started creating them myself. Then I would read and look for the contradictory, the stupid and the naive.<\/p>\n In general, I only read books on psychology, psychotherapy, healthy living, logic and sometimes medicine. Fiction reminds me of living someone else's life - and I'm very focused on my own.<\/p>\n "And I don't have anything to advise the others, because I don't know in which field they are new - surely not in life?"<\/p>\n You have your own specific problem or aspiration - read such books. Even if one less valuable one comes across, it will also encourage thinking and searching for answers<\/strong> - sometimes it bears more fruit than "quality" information.<\/span><\/p>\n I think that now many people, especially young people who are looking for themselves, generally overestimate the importance of information, books, training, seminars. More important than quality information is the practical application of that information,<\/strong> everyday curiosity, constant interest, abundance of experiences.<\/p>\n It is valuable to go through popular advice such as "live here and now", "do only one job at a time", "love yourself", "leave your comfort zone" with an indifferent and arrogant look - try to do the opposite. A lot of fun.<\/p>\n And finally, I feel like it's time to forget that someone else\u2014from a book, the Internet, or the left side of the couch\u2014knows better how you need to live. Believe in yourself, your thoughts and your advice to yourself and your life will believe in you.<\/p>\n When the time comes, the line crosses itself. It's like giving birth to a child. You need to take care of the idea from its inception, create a close relationship with it, develop it and feel it. Then follows the difficult but pleasant stage of carrying the idea, taking care of it. When an idea matures, it is born.<\/p>\n A good idea is that painful thought that keeps popping into your head. <\/strong>Maybe from time to time you think that people are missing something and you know how to provide it? Perhaps you see some problem in society or in your close environment that no one is solving?<\/p>\n Look for sore spots - there's potential there.<\/p>\n What can I add here? If you have any additional questions for Rasa, please let me know, as I will encourage her to answer them directly here in the comments section below. Oh, and... I invite you to join, try "L\u016b\u0161is"!<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/rasa-norbute-venckute-psichologe.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/span><\/p>\n\ud83d\udc08<\/span><\/span> Nevyniosiu: how did you end up in psychology?<\/h2>\n
\ud83d\udc08<\/span> <\/span>And how did "L\u016b\u0161ie" training come about? Did you think that Lithuanians lacked such a program when there are many different English ones?<\/h3>\n
\n
\ud83d\udc08<\/span> <\/span>So that's why self-confidence? Rather than, say, achieving goals or something like that?<\/h3>\n
\ud83d\udc08<\/span><\/span> And what does your new beast - Active Lynx - strengthen?<\/h3>\n
\n
\ud83d\udc08<\/span><\/span> So what is happening in that "L\u016b\u0161i"? Probably a serious sauna?<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\ud83d\udc08<\/span><\/span> Finally, I have such a selfish question - some cloud dwellers (you know, me too...)<\/em> dreaming of creating training, programmes or other works themselves... What would you advise?<\/h3>\n
\ud83d\udc08<\/span><\/span> Thanks for your honesty, Rasa!<\/h2>\n
