The other day, we were talking about contamination—what it is; the nature and meaning of it—and we looked at how that related to the notion of ‘contaminated thinking’.

Contaminated thinking
What does a contaminant actually *do* to the substance it’s contaminating? And what are the implications for us? 🔬

Part 1 of this 3-part series on Contaminated Thinking

It was a bit of an exploratory, philosophical kind of piece (with a main tag of ‘Principles’, you'll have seen) and may have left you wondering,

“Well that's all fine and dandy, Giles, but what the heck am I supposed to do, when I find myself caught up in a bunch of contaminated thinking?!”

It's exactly the question that came up in conversation with a client the other day—the whole reason I got to thinking about what contamination is and isn't, for that Daily Reminder—and I'm going to help you to see the solution to this kind of ‘polluted’ thinking, with a little story.

(Stories are brilliant, because as Syd Banks would say, “Stories bypass the intellect.” They allow you to go beyond an intellectual understanding and actually realise—as in ‘make real’—a deeper truth.)
