			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Brogan&#8217;s video, <a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/think-in-curves/">Think in Curves</a>, inspired me to share my own spin on thinking in curves.</p>
<h3>Get In Relationship with the Curves</h3>
<p>Do you live your life from one straight line to the next?  Like moving from one separate idea or project without seeing the relationships.  Getting in relationship with curves in our life and biz is huge. By thinking spherically you can bring much more awareness to your movement. Too many curves without insight and growth, you just go in circles. Connect the curves with insight and you move forward up the spiral. Stay in the center of the spiral and you see all the curves coming.<a href="http://mandalalifemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/fern.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-130" title="fern" src="http://mandalalifemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/fern-300x300.jpg" alt="fern" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<h3>Let Go of Straight</h3>
<p>Straight line thinking tends to create more challenge and stress.  It&#8217;s also a limited success path.  Keeping your life and your business on a straight path takes a lot of energy.  When something has to change ( and it will ) a bigger change is often required.  We really can not follow a straight line in our thinking forever.  It&#8217;s not the way the earth moves and it&#8217;s not the way we&#8217;re wired to live.  Let go of straight line thinking and you open a periphery of continual insight.  Shift from straight line thought and planning to spherical awareness.</p>
<h3>Think Spherically</h3>
<p>Everything you think and do informs everything else that you think and do.   Your thoughts and actions all relate bringing together an ever expanding circle of wisdom.   Get in touch with all the curves and weave your thoughts in spherical flow patterns.</p>
<ul>
<li>You are the center</li>
<li>And you are the circle</li>
<li>Think from the center</li>
<li>Move from your center</li>
<li>Be aware of the whole circle</li>
<li>Feel all the interconnections</li>
<li>Notice what feels better</li>
<li>Let those feelings be your guide</li>
<li>Stay in your center</li>
<li>Chose what feels better</li>
<li>Keep moving</li>
<li>Keep feeling</li>
<li>Keep noticing</li>
<li>Keep flowing</li>
</ul>
<p>What&#8217;s flowing with you?
