2. The Integrated Person
An integrated person learns how
to mix emotions, thoughts, and
behaviors and other aspects of self
in order to establish a sense of
harmony with the world and with
one's self — then both the world and
the individual's journey become
clothed in meaning.
The external world conditions that
surround us will only begin to change
when the nature of the causes that whirl
within us begin to change. My
attention continues to be focused on
settling into a state of calm presence,
emotional equilibrium, clear
intelligence, solidarity and increasing
wisdom. The intention of my heart is to
live in a harmonious and altruistic way,
actively motivated by the love of God,
the experience of union with God, and
the love of thy neighbor.
What one thing would I do
if I knew that I could not fail? Foremost
is to do my very best to "lead out of my
heart" or "way of being" or a sense of
"shared competence" and to work
diligently at developing skill in
1) guiding teenagers
towards accepting themselves,
2) instructing them on how to identify
when a threat is detected, 3) introduc-
ing them to helpful thinking styles, 4)
providing training that improves atten-
tion, self-report assessment and self-reg-
ulation, 5) increasing distress tolerance
and competency in confronting and
confidently coping with subject matters
like alcohol and drugs, anger and
violence, bullying and gangs, fear of
becoming overwhelmed or aban-
doned, self-harm and suicidal thoughts,
and smoking and avoiding the person-
al risks that are commonly associated
with having unprotected sex.
The primary goal
for 'The Integrated Person' blog is to
offer a combination of basic life skills,
cultural, developmental, and spiritual
practices and knowledge that helps
to set young people at risk on a
healthier life pathway.
The achievement of positive outcomes
has been proven to result from giving
very focused and regular attention to
the following key factors:
Orienting one's life toward being;
Self-involvement; Social support
(individual & group); Mindfulness-based
stress reduction; Breathing exercises;
Personal coaching; Applied techniques
for overriding a stress reactive imagina-
tion; and tools that increase positive
affect, disidentifying, reperceiving
through imagery and visualization
skills, learning for interpersonal
effectiveness, self-regulation and
distress tolerance.
Because of my life experiences this is
the work that I now feel most deeply
called to do in the world.
“My ultimate concern
is to be genuine and
to become a person
of good counsel and
example to youth ...”
