Beneath Many Monsters

Beneath the surface of many monsters, is someone who feels vulnerable and helpless...

Looking For Respect, Consideration, and Understanding

As social beings who rely upon each other, I think we are all seeking spaces where we are given respect, consideration, and understanding.

Seeking and Finding My Own Answers

One thing that is consistent with me is my continued self-absorbed seeking... looking to find my own answers... finding that which rings true for Me.... Every experience revealing another piece... with the hopes of seeing as clearly as possible...

Space and Time Mindsets

What effect, if any, does altering one's mindset related to the things we do, have?

Thinking about what one has Not Done, and what one Does Not Do (related to working towards one's goals and aspirations): Non-Materialized mindsets...What One Is Not

VS

Thinking about all the things one Has Done, and the things one Currently Does (related to working towards one's goals and aspirations): Materialized mindsets... What One Is

Are there any effects on Mood and Motivation? Self-worth and Self-esteem? Does one way help some people more than the other? Is it helpful to think both ways?

What Traits and Behaviors We Believe to Be Valuable and Worthwhile

It is my belief that much of what we believe to be valuable and worthwhile is a result of our closest connections. Growing up that means caregivers and parents, friends and peers. The traits and behaviors they promote and affirm to be worthwhile doing, likely gets ingrained into our own brains. In a Nurture meets Nature scenario, the result might either affirm one's predispositions, or it can create a scenario where one might have Self-Esteem issues, because of differing sources of Idealized Self-Image.

On one hand, one wants to be one way because that is what is taught... on the other hand, one wants to be another way based on one's own Inner Tendencies.

Resolving the differences becomes one of Life's Tasks.

Specialization: The Things We Do For Others

The things we do for others, and often want from others, are the very things we ourselves specialize in.

What we do for others, oftentimes others can't do for us, unless they too have a similar psychology.

Our Best

Our Best is always Now
Everything else is just Imagined

Attention and Input Management Vs. Time Management

I am under the impression that it is better for me to focus on managing my attention and the kinds of inputs my senses are taking in.

I have a tendency to follow along with whatever input comes next, thus narrowing down inputs and options might help create a more general direction for my river of consciousness to follow.

From Impulse and Honeymoon Stage to Cultivated Territory

Much of what I do starts as situational impulse. Events coming together in my life... the timing of objects, my mood, and my attention... sparking interest in exploring an area... Sometimes being blindside by new found interest and infatuation.

After an initial honeymoon stage, a chance to connect to deeper parts of my psyche... I will learn if my love runs deeper... For the loves of my life I will continue to keep cultivate a territory... wanting to nurture and grow fertile ground to see what comes of it...
