17.01.2022 More pearls from the School of Life: We're often not very good at perceiving what motives happen to be involved in the incidents that hurt us. We are easily wildly mistaken and jump to unnecessary conclusions. We see intention where there was none and escalate and confront when no strenuous or agitated responses are warranted.... Part of the reason for this is a rather poignant psychological phenomenon: self-contempt. It’s natural to see meanness everywhere when we see ourselves as fitting targets for insult. A novel idea is, in times of conflict, is to treat the other person as if they were a young child. We are more ready to forgive small children because we don’t assign negative motives or mean intentions to them. It’s very touching that we live in a world where we have learnt to be so kind to children: it would be even kinder if we learnt to be a little more generous towards the childlike parts of one another.

12.01.2022 Depending on earlier experiences from childhood or adolescence, we adopt an attachment style that influences our relationships now and into the future. They are not set in stone. The challenge is to recognise and overcome self-limiting behaviours and replace anxious or avoidant attachment with a more secure, trusting and warm style. https://youtu.be/2s9ACDMcpjA

10.01.2022 If a person’s behavior doesn’t make sense to you, it is because you are missing a part of their context. It’s really helpful to respond to a person’s ineffective behavior with curiosity rather than judgment https://humanparts.medium.com/laziness-does-not-exist-3af27

08.01.2022 Knowing thyself

08.01.2022 He makes it look simple. Perhaps it is. I recall an iconic book: ‘When I Say No I Feel Guilty’ which was all about assertiveness. These days we are more likely to refer to assertiveness skills as resilience. It takes plenty of resilience and self-confidence to pull this one off.

06.01.2022 We all strive to be mindful and present in the moment. Right? We rarely question the inherent benefits that flow from being in the flow. Of course, Nirvana is always just out of reach and we needn't expect ourselves nor others to always be there. https://youtu.be/DuXxcOIU5eI
