You Manage What You Measure
Gretchen Rubin writes:
The fact is, if you want more or less of something in your life, it’s very helpful to measure it, because you manage what you measure. I’m now calling this the “Strategy of Monitoring.”

Treating people like an ‘unreal other’ — a two dimensional person that is just a projection of ourselves — brings suffering to both; you and the other person…
More self-compassion…
I’m reading a new book on self-compassion that looks very promising. It’s called The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion: Freeing Yourself from Destructive Thoughts and Emotions. Here is an excerpt from the introduction:
Life is tough. Despite our best intentions, things go wrong, sometimes very wrong. Ninety percent of us get married, full of hope and optimism, yet 40% of marriages end in divorce. We struggle to meet the demands of daily life, only to find ourselves needing care for stress-related problems like high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, alcoholism, or a weakened immune system. How do we typically react when things fall apart? More often than not, we feel ashamed and become self-critical: “What’s wrong with me?” “Why can’t I cope?” “Why me?” Continue reading “More self-compassion…”

Growth Mindset: Why You Should Be Willing to Fail and Make Mistakes
More good stuff from Brian Johnson:
Do you consider them to be failures and a reflection of the individual (including yourself), or do you view them as being opportunities for growth and a natural part of being human?
In this 4-minute video, the Philosopher’s Notes author, Brian Johnson discusses the importance of having a healthy mindset when it comes to making mistakes.
We love the reassuring analogy he uses that life is similar to a great long movie and that – as with any movie where scenes are often filmed many times in order to get them right – the setbacks or failures we may experience are really just “mis-takes”, rather than actual mistakes.

Gentleness and Inner Trust
I woke up this morning feeling very scared and anxious about something.
I didn’t quite know what.
Maybe the fact that I have no idea where I’m heading with my life.
Maybe the fact that I had a recent rather traumatic experience,
for which I still haven’t found the necessary acceptance to fully move on.
I didn’t know exactly. All I know was that my thoughts were driving me mad.
I felt like I was either going to explode in anger or burst into tears from the intensity of my feelings.
Then, I suddenly had enough. Instead of whimpering, I turned around and looked my thoughts straight in the eye.
“Stop doing that. Stop it right now. I do not need to make a decision about my life right away.
Give me some time, to learn, to experience, to process. Stop pushing me and berating me. I might take some time, but you know I always manage to save…

I am You
I’m not sure why but this morning as I ambled through suburbia on my daily meditative stroll, it dawned on me how similar we all are. Outwardly different, inwardly not-so-different. Along the way, I meandered through a busy shopping strip full of frantic shoppers and I strolled by numerous cafes overflowing with the Sunday morning latte and Bircher muesli crowd. I passed a bunch of kids playing football while their vocal parents screamed from the sidelines and I crossed paths with a curious collection of dog owners traversing the urban sprawl while tethered to their much-loved pooches. Some nodding hello, most not. I encountered a swarm of teenage skateboarders moving in unison along the bitumen like a migrating herd of… something. And finally, I passed a guy wearing some big-arse headphones singing woefully out of tune and much louder than I’m sure he realised. He made me smile.
All in all, a reasonable cross-section of humanity. Continue reading “I am You”
