My guest Peggy Johnson and I explore the Ojibwa saying "Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while a great wind is bearing me across the sky."
We have to improve our previous negative processes before trying to build new positive processes on top of them. It's hard to climb a mountain while you're digging holes.
You have to be willing to be happy inside to find reasons to be happy outside. Happiness is a choice we've got to consciously make before it can consistently occur. I've found three simple tests to discover how willing you are to be happy at any time of day.
For a long time, there were two forces battling inside of me to be the dominant resource of my creative output. I'm learning how to help both of them work together to create a greater good.
It can be easy to feel like you don't exist to the outside world. But existence has to be built from the inside out for you to be perceived. To believe yourself to be perceivable, you have to find and project your unique combination of internal specificity, otherwise you'll live as an external reflection and blend into the background. You have to perceive yourself to become visible.
It's difficult to move forward until you can accept that the world is imperfect. We have to erase our fantasies of perfection. Not being trapped static, waiting for an ideal state.
It's important to be able to clear space in your mind to psychologically stand. Somewhere where you're not tripping over your cluttering thoughts, and projecting that mental mess upon the world around you.
Until you can reliably Be, right Now, it's hard to perceive yourself as being anywhere, or anywhen, else in the future. You have to believe in your Current Moment, for the future to be solidly perceivable. For it to be achievable!
To become perceivable, we have to practice perceiving ourselves. Finding processes that bring us to the surface of our existence.
We have to be ourselves more to move forward accurately in our lives. Evolving from the inside out.
We often edit ourselves too heavily and lose access to the accurate inner us. Practice relaxing your external facade, letting the true You through.
When our heads gets cluttered and unmanageable, relaxed random writing can help bring your pieces back in line.
Punishing yourself is rarely actually useful, so it's important to ask "Should I punish myself" before punishing yourself, because the answer is probably No.
You can use emotions to communicate better once you realize that they're constantly coming out of you.
Our choices make us, so we've got to learn how to choose better and more.
Using the "Family" word, silently to yourself, can change how you perceive potentially annoying peripheral people. Join me in attempting its proactive usage!
Video Game Vision can reduce the stress of chaotic, random human interactions. Consciously turning our challenges into meditations. Join Me!
If you consciously practice being Yourself every morning, it's much harder for anyone else to Tell you who you "are". Join me in being yourself!
Why Stop Criticising? Criticism is a burden we carry around, pretending to be a strength. I'm severely reducing my criticising to improve my mental health.
For Zen Quote Notes, I'm looking into the saying - "We think in generalities, but we live in detail." - by Alfred North Whitehead
