All about my Becoming Questions - one a week especially for YOU
#BECOMING #QUESTIONS
A Question for you.
I am asking a question every week.
It would be great if you could pick up the challenge?
Below the question and below some guidelines and objectives.
MY FIRST QUESTION WAS TO YOU
1) What colour are you? Meaning what colour best describes your personality & character? AND what SHAPE are you ?
AND WHY?
* I will usually answer with my own reflection first::
PIP ANSWER
I picture myself as an egg shape.
Bright RED for PASSION because I feel passionate about lots of things and life.
All over this egg are lightening type YELLOW cracks revealing damage,hurt ,vulnerability.
I believe that vulnerability is a strength not a weakness.

121 - colliding in Level Five Communication = Becoming ......
I would love to sit down with you and share a pot of peppermint tea.
In my favourite London home - Timberyard Coffee House.
If we were sat together right now - what would you like to drink?
Me - peppermint and you ................... ?
I will order while we carry on chatting.
I love this.
Just two of us and sips in between.
I have lots of questions to ask you.
Questions are welcome to me too.
Tell me about a human who is on your mind right now?
Describe that person, no name needed - just character and personality?
I love how you are looking at me
with unseeing eyes
as you peer into the face of this, anonymous to me, human
Tell me one thing which is top of your emotional agenda -
the issue that downloads reflections
just before you drop off to sleep at night?
(Perhaps you will respond to these questions right now -
maybe pause and think, ...... open up to the questions.)
I love being with you and I just so want to be in this place.
Sips Tea
Tell me about a significant human in the whole of your life?
The most significant - the number one - and why?
I love this opportunity - we don't meet up like this enough.
How is your kissing?
Tell me about the love in your life?
What is good - not so good?
Your face changes when you share with me.
I notice your skin tighten around your cheek bones.
It enhances your features.
It is the inner you showing in the outer you.
You are beautiful ..........
Tell me something you have not told anyone else.
Something that triggers your vulnerability.
I receive all words with total confidentiality.
Telling me, only if you are willing, is so powerful for me.
It is intimacy extreme
It is learning extreme
It is undressing the soul - floundering - yearning - unresolved-ing.
It is 'Level Five'.
Love5
I can share my thoughts with you.
But I would much rather share my feelings.
I could share my opinions with you
But I would much rather stammer
into the new-real-full-on-unspoken-un-trodden .....
I need another cuppa.
Do you want one?
Tell me who you love?
Tell me who you fail to love?
I would not ask you these questions if I feel the doors are closing.
I would not ask you these questions if I felt your back turning.
I would not ask you these questions if you had arms folded.
I would not ask you these questions if I felt you were in too much pain.
I would not ask you these questions if I felt that you were not welcoming the opportunity.
I would not ask you these questions if I felt you were not fearful and risk taking.
I would not ask you these questions if I felt you wanted an early escape to the toilet .........
I would ask you if you had open palms as you stubbled for the best words ..
We will end the time together talking about the next meet up.
When can it be with your diary and mine - ducking and diving.
We will end by with a summary of our feelings now.
The beauty of now.
The privilege of now.
Let use make this happen.
There is no greater wish within me
than to tea with you.
Just going with the flow.
Enjoying each other.
Hmmmm

What it’s like to become emotional.
Can you manage your emotions?
Like being swept away by a strong undercurrent and brought out to a sea of turbulence—that’s what it’s like to become emotional.
At best, you have been through it at some point in your life.
But worse, you suppressed your feelings and turned your heart into stone.
Do you know that there is such a thing as emotional literacy?
It is the art of learning and understanding your emotions.
The objective of this psychological approach is to learn more about yourself.
For every emotion—anger, jealousy, fear, joy—there is a corresponding physical reaction.
For example, a couple is having a heated argument over money or fidelity, and the effect on the body is the same—it gets physical. When strong feelings are involved, the signs are manifested and felt—high blood pressure, palpitations, hyperventilation, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches and unexplained body pain.
More often than not, the heart, brain and stomach are affected.

A sad sad situation ............
Two repairmen were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top.
A female engineer walked by and asked what they were doing.
"We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole," said Tony, "but we don't have a ladder."
The engineer took a wrench from her purse, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground. Then she took a tape measure from her pocket, took a measurement, announced, "Twenty one feet, six inches," and walked away.
One repairman shook his head and laughed, "A lot of good that does us. We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"
Both men have since been removed from their repair jobs and are currently employed as MP’s..

Nigel Farage resigns: The outgoing Ukip leader’s most controversial moments
When he said he’d be concerned if his neighbours were Romanian
In May 2014 Mr Farage was accused of a “racial slur” against Romanians after he suggested he would be concerned living next to a house of them.
“I was asked if a group of Romanian men moved in next to you, would you be concerned? And if you lived in London, I think you would be,” he told LBC radio during an interview.
Asked whether he would also object to living next to German children, he said: “You know the difference.”
When he blamed immigrants for making him late
Mr Farage turned up late to a £25-a-head ‘meet the leader’ style event in Port Talbot, Wales in December 2014.
Asked why he was late, he blamed immigrants.
“It took me six hours and 15 minutes to get here - it should have taken three-and-a-half to four,” he said.
“That has nothing to do with professionalism, what it does have to do with is a country in which the population is going through the roof chiefly because of open-door immigration and the fact that the M4 is not as navigable as it used to be.”
When he wanted to ban immigrants with HIV from Britain
Mr Farage has used his platform as Ukip leader call for people with HIV to be banned from coming to Britain.
Asked in an interview with Newsweek Europe in October 2014 who he thought should be allowed to come to the UK, he said:
“People who do not have HIV, to be frank. That’s a good start. And people with a skill.”
He also repeated similar comments in the 2015 general election leadership debates.
When he defended the use of a racial slur against Chinese people
Defending one of Ukip’s candidates, who used the word “ch**ky” to describe a Chinese person, Mr Farage said:
“If you and your mates were going out for a Chinese, what do you say you're going for?"
When he was told by the presented that he “honestly would not” use the slur, Mr Farage replied: “A lot would”.
When he said parts of Britain were ‘like a foreign land’
The Ukip leader used his 2014 conference speech to declare parts of Britain as being “like a foreign land”.
He told his audience in Torquay that parts of the country were “unrecognisable” because of the number of foreigners there.
Mr Farage has also previously said he felt uncomfortable when people spoke other language on a train.
When he said the British army should be deployed to France
At the height of trouble at Britain’s Calais border Mr Farage proposed a novel solution.
The Ukip leader called for the British army to be sent to France to put down a migrant rebellion.
“In all civil emergencies like this we have an army, we have a bit of a Territorial Army as well and we have a very, very overburdened police force and border agency,” he said.
“If in a crisis to make sure we’ve actually got the manpower to check lorries coming in, to stop people illegally coming to Britain, if in those circumstances we can use the army or other forces then why not.”
When he said breastfeeding women should ‘sit in the corner’
Mr Farage sparked protests from mothers after he told women to “sit on the corner” if they wanted to breastfeed their children.
“I think that given that some people feel very embarrassed by it, it isn’t too difficult to breastfeed a baby in a way that's not openly ostentatious,” Mr Farage said.
He added: "Or perhaps sit in the corner, or whatever it might be”.
When he said the gender pay gap exists because women are ‘worth less’
At a Q&A on the European Union in January 2014 Mr Farage saidthere was no discrimination against women causing the gender pay gap.
Instead, he said, women were paid less because they were simply “worth far less” than many of their male counterparts.
“A woman who has a client base, has a child and takes two or three years off - she is worth far less to her employer when she comes back than when she went away because that client base won't be stuck as rigidly to her portfolio,” he said.
When he said he actually couldn’t guarantee £350m to the NHS after Brexit
During the EU referendum campaign the Leave side pledged to spend £350 million a week on the National Health Service – claiming that this is what the UK sends to Brussels.
Nigel Farage didn’t speak out against this figure and also pledged to spend EU cash on the health service and other public services himself.
Then the day of the election result he suddenly changed his tone, saying he couldn’t guarantee the cash for the NHS and that to pledge to do so was “a mistake”.
When he unveiled that 'breaking point' poster during the referendum
Mr Farage was accused of deploying “Nazi-style propaganda” when he unveiled a poster showing Syrian refugees travelling to Europe under the next “Breaking point”.
Users on social media were quick to compare the advert to a Nazi propaganda film with similar visuals and featuring Jewish refugees.
The poster was particularly controversial because it was unveiled the morning of the killing of Labour MP Jo Cox.
When he said the EU campaign was won 'without a bullet being fired'
Mr Farage was branded "shameful" for using his Brexit victory speech to say the referendum had been won "without a bullet being fired".
The comments came just days after MP Jo Cox was shot. At his trial Thomas Mair had introduced himself as 'my name is freedom for Britain, death to traitors'.
"We will have done it without having to fight, without a single bullet being fired, we'd have done it by damned hard work on the ground,” he said.
When he resigned as Ukip leader and came back days later
After failing to win the seat of South Thanet at the general election, Nigel Farage stepped down as Ukip leader – as he had promised to do during the campaign.
Days later on 11 May he “un-resigned” and said he would stay after being convinced by supporters within the party.
