Critical tendency?

Whether it’s criticism towards ourselves or others close to us, there is an antidote.

With criticism, the brain unconsciously and automatically scans for what is wrong or missing.

To turn it around, we consciously and deliberately scan for what is present and right.

Even if it’s only 5% present and right, we notice, we appreciate and praise it.

What’s right can expand and grow with a little feeding and watering.

Of course this doesn’t mean ignoring awful or toxic or dangerous things.

It means choosing to see the beauty and capacity and love and efforts that exist in ourselves and others. Scan for that on purpose!

Protect your good vibe!

Power yourself into a better vibe today and don’t let anyone kill it!

Avoid the news if you need to. Use headphones if it helps. Or sunglasses. Stay away from whatever you need to not see.

Your vibe, your choice. May it be a great day.

Taking internal credit:

Listen now, as the words on this page come to life, and you can hear me, as I speak directly to your inner mind, breathing more slowly, in now, and holding it, and now releasing, easily, and as you do release, I want to remind your inner mind that maybe, just maybe, you are forgetting to remember, or perhaps even remembering to forget, all those things you do, or say, or even just transmit, that make the world a more colorful place, a more interesting place, a more fun and loving place, just by your very being, and you can take credit now, miracles happen all the time and you are a key part of the miracles. Make a fist, say “YES!” with satisfaction and remember to take some enjoyment credit. Now, please.

Co-regulation!

Being near or touching another human changes our nervous system as well as theirs.

If we’re in pain and a caring and sympathetic partner or close person holds our hand or makes other meaningful contact, the body and nervous system feels the benefit.

Heart rate, breathing and sometimes even processing of pain level improves.

Yes, we sync up with those who care and empathise. This is human sympathetic resonance. Even our brain waves can mirror another’s (for better or worse!!).

Use this knowledge consciously and wisely. It happens with pets too. Take in good energy and let’s do the best we can to transmit good energy as well.

Phone overwhelm:

Phone overwhelm is really about information overload combined with background nervous system dysregulation. We’re used to it now.

The phone flashes news updates. Texts. Scam calls. Social media alerts. Constant data incoming.

If we want to think and feel more clearly, should we consider the role of the phone and other devices?

We can change frequency of access. We can change alert notifications. We can change whether we get constant updates and from which sources.

We can’t change the algorithms. Whatever we are concerned or worried or annoyed about will now show up on our algorithm to magnify our concerns.

Nothing is neutral in data served to us. It has a purpose: to influence our behaviour in service of whoever is paying for it.

Reduce stress. Think about the phone setup. It can be fixed or reduced or eliminated depending on need and effect. Be smarter than it is.

Psychological flexibility:

Most of us need to protect ourselves from being cognitively fixed or rigid.

Many of our beliefs or opinions or statements could benefit from deeper thought: eg is this true? Is there another side? Is this helpful?

Cognitive and psychological flexibility is about remaining open and curious and knowing that there’s always a lot we don’t know.

Not knowing, seeking alternate perspectives and remaining open may be a big factor in emotional intelligence. Plus it keeps us young and free. That’s a good feeling.

Telling the truth with love:

Many of us were raised with two choices if we were unhappy about something in a relationship.

Either shut up about it and keep the peace or let it rip with uncontained (and often hurtful) self expression. Both are losing strategies that can drain the love.

The winning strategy is a combo of both: speak the truth, but with love and kindness. This means naming how you feel and what you’d ideally prefer and requesting it without using mean or accusing language.

An example is “I feel upset about X, I know you probably don’t mean it the way I’m experiencing it but I’d really like it if you could Y instead”.

Ideally the other person can hear a request more effectively when we frame it like that. Of course not everyone has the emotional maturity to listen and respond well.

Of course there are times to shut up and keep peace. And there are times to speak up with love for the sake of persevering a relationship. Use wisdom in the timing but make sure the truth gets some airtime in the right way.

Extra 10% joy?

What would it take to increase your daily joy by just 10%? We’re talking simple, doable things only.

An extra look at nature? Checking out the artwork in the sky? Certain music on? Some memories, perhaps in photos? A nostalgia trip?

An activity with friends, or family, or pets, or totally on your own? Or planning an event or trip? Memories of a great trip?

Extra rest or recovery? More exercise or less? A change of something? Time out or away? Meditation or trance? Silence?

Think of what might be a bit too extra right now, and what might be missing. Can you name one thing (or perhaps a few) for 10% extra joy?

Monday recalibration:

Things can seem different when we feel different.

How’s your energy? Sleep? Rest? Enjoyment? Satisfaction? Meaning? Overall mental load?

If anything’s a bit off, then know your inner radar might be off today.

Make any cognitive adjustments or allowances that you might need. Sometimes our lens on the world needs a check up.

Moment of peace:

It can be one of those many pleasant things, just taking a mini moment of peace, so look deeply into my words here, as I speak slowly to you, and you can breathe in, as you listen, and hold it, and now as you breathe out, letting go all of the build up, releasing tension now, allowing concerns to fade into the metaphor of the back burner for the moment, or maybe for even longer, your inner mind knows just what it needs, a little space, a little peace, and you know, and I know too, that the little space of peace gives clarity, the channel is cleared, there’s a break in transmission, just a time for nothingness, or reflection, or flow, or even just silence, and that can feel very, very good, just taking a breath, nothing bothers you, nothing disturbs you now, and you can carry that peace into the next moment, and the next, and maybe even a few more, until peace expands to fill more of the pleasant moments with clear, calm, confident power, you feel it, now let it fuel you as you mentally re-enter your day. Enjoy.
