Let’s talk about YOU

I know, you’ll have FUN with the following. I had a wake up call when I did it.

Write the answers to the following statements in full and keep them available for future reference. The exercise will have a great impact on your life going forward.

It’ll show how you’ve changed over time. We learn best by making something a personal experience.

We spend HOURS and we expend much ENERGY on all sorts of things in a day that don’t really add value to our life.

For example,

  • Gossip, nasty stuff
  • Spread hearsay about people, even if good
  • Are judgmental of ourselves and others
  • Relay news items whose reliability is dubious
  • Repeat news items other than what’s uplifting
  • Complain about a plethora of topics in our life
  • Repeat ourselves unnecessarily

Reply to the above statements as they relate to you.

What did you learn about yourself?

You would also have observed some of the above traits in people you know, wouldn’t you?

These are merely observations and not meant to be judgmental. The observation is between you and you, not to spread. We often see traits in others but not in ourselves and learn from this.

It’s a good idea to revisit this exercise every six months or so as it’s easy to slip back into ingrained societal programming.
