Working with Constructive Criticism

So I was presented with constructive criticism, and so I faced an old pattern where when someone provides critical feedback, I resist and react personally. So the correction is to listen to the feedback and try it out.

It is a simple point, yet the correction is not often applied by many people. To support others, what I do is to see what I am feeling, to breathe, and firstly agree unconditionally to try out what the person is saying. So within that I am clear and objective and honest. If I feel emotional or resistance, that means my breathing wasn't effective, so also my decision to stop wasn't effective.

Day 902 We can win

 One of the indications of self application is the ability to stop. To in any moment, stop the mind, and simply be here in this moment. In this void the mind struggles to fight back, thus it plans instead for its next moment to strike. People are either on the side of the mind, or on the side of Life without the mind.  It was considered crazy for people to live without the mind, without thinking. Because the mind uses scare tactics to keep you in check. How it twists words and twists your gut. Yet for those of us really strong ones, we can bend the mind like a twig.  All real strength derives from life, and thus from self. The connection to all things everywhere. The mind likes to own things, own feelings, own the way and path to surviving day to day. And that is power. But you can take all that power for yourself. That raw power can be in your hands, to decide who you are and what you express in every moment. For will you live the fate of life in the hands of the mind? or will you tak

The Non-emotional, and DUTY Personality 270

Image
So today, I am looking at how I present myself in the system as my preprogramming. So the question is how do I present myself in the system, by default? So I had a telephone conversation just now. I had called to set up a doctors appointment. I notice how I spoke by default, because I was seeing how I could express myself. So within this process of expressing myself, I will be facing my preprogramming in how I expressed myself for much of my life. I can say I have a familiarity with this, yet at the same time I do not intimately know it. This is why I am writing this blog right now. So I present myself as someone "professional." For me this means being very collected, non-emotional, straight to the point. Also "on the job." If you ever worked with me on  project you would see this clearly about me. I am focused on the work that needs to get done, and this is how I become. So how did I develop this personality or presentation of myself? Through school project

Day 738 Here's a Cat

Image
I just finished watching stranger things 3 and its 1:38 am exactly. And I have an Image of a cat here. This is my life. I'm writing this blog because writing one blog does make a difference. A single word can make a difference. I know it sounds corny and cheesy. I'm 29 now as of July 13. Did you know I was born on Friday the thirteenth? So, yes I'm 29, and I feel the weight of it. I can see myself getting older. And I feel the weight of Tiredness, of apathy, of the world being so big that how can I possibly change it? How can I change it one word really? I mean really? Yes really. With one word, with one blog, with some moments out of my day I can help change the world. The world is big. Really big. But we have to do something. We have to try. When it comes to the world we have many problems. We have problems with our system. We have problems with needing to make money in order to eat. We have the problem where we need to do jobs that aren't best for all, that's
