The Natural Way - Natural Mentoring Phd

Days of memorable past.

One of them is certainly the nagging of parents constantly babbling in our ears amid our hasty, priceless childhood.


From "eat your greens!" to "finish up, don't you dare waste food!" to "did you flush?"
bring back those memories,  offering us a smirk of laughter, but yet, that dose of annoyance off those nags still whistle in our vibes.

Most people don't like to be nagged at. Some do, some don't care, but most don't - especially if it comes across with a preachy tone.

After a few times, friends and family start shying away from you, as if you are some kind of oppressed outer space monk,  unless.......  unless if it is done tastefully.
Yes tastefully, equivalent literally of that avocado cream cheese wrapped nachos with a stroke of quarter dipped ranch pineapple.

Since the days of religion(ancient), self help renaissance(modern), and the last 30 yrs of New Age awake movement,  much has been talked about on how Mindfulness could be easily taught, AND  easily passed forward to everyone to create a peaceful world of everlasting love and harmony.


The key here is HOW to "pass it forward".


One reason we are still not at the ideal of "passing it  forward" is the lack of  a formal foundation for Natural Mentoring- how to be assertive always, BUT YET tactful and tasteful. The moment to mentor is sometimes so short- a window of seconds - and to make it natural so it doesn't come across forceful is a skill of Taiji that takes careful curating.

How about Natural Mentoring as a serious core curriculum or Degree in college?

Phd in Natural Mentoring, anyone?

What to say, to whom of what personalities, maybe with a dose of tactful humor, and at which precise moments is not a skill beneath perfection.   To be effective, so to "pass it forward" quickly, let's all get serious on getting  Natural Mentoring formularized.


Simple, natural, non-forceful.


May the days of nags and preach be as soothing as that summer lemonade, laced over ice cubes.
