The role of the realist is to keep moving forward towards the desired outcome, and to ground the dreamer’s ambitions and visions in reality. The realist is the actualizer of the action steps envisioned by the dreamer, and its main function is to act in the moment, not to judge the reasons behind the decisions.
The realist’s role is defined by several important characteristics. The realist’s representational preference is Action. Its focus orientation is ‘How’. Its gravitational approach is Toward. Its preferred time frame is short term present, exclusively. Its communication reference is external (Environmental). Its comparison mode is Match (review the relevant Meta-Programs for more).
Step 1: Select the active, desired, well-defined outcome you’re working with. #
Defining the issues and obstacles you’ve recently encountered in the pursuit of this outcome
Step 2: Initiate a downtime state. #
Step 3: Elicit the virtues of the realist: #
a. Ask “How?” How can I make this happen? b. Seek Action: What is the next most important and immediately available step? c. Physiology of the realist: eyes straight ahead, head straight, eyes wide open, symmetrical and centered body posture, smooth movement, hands on waist (diamond pose).
Step 4: Enter your timeline. #
Float above it. Lean slightly forward (toward).
Step 5: Remain above the present. #
Step 6: Consider the issues in the context of the next 24 hours. #
a. If I did X today, what would happened? b. If I avoid doing X today, what will definitely not happen? c. If I did X today, what would not happen? d. If I avoid doing X today, what will definitely happen? e. What bits of information seem to be in sync and related? Look for the matched stimuli.
