Just evaluate

Posted on by philipdodson

What if we changed our thinking, for say just one week?

What if we took every single interaction or input and just choose not to react?

Sure there would be a split second or several where we might get annoyed, or angry, or whatever.

Then what if instead of judging we just listened and then evaluated.

What if we choose to do the same to our own judgemental internal voice that we apply to ourselves?

What might be different in one week?

What might we learn and continue to apply going forward?

After all, if we always think the same, we will remain with the challenges that our thinking brought us.

Snappy

Posted on by philipdodson

Sometimes we have to rumble with things and mull them over before making a decision.

There is a pressure often to make snappy decisions and not over-think and that is true, but paradoxically, there are times when contemplation and a real deep think have value.

Impulse is good, but not everything in life can be fast and when it is decisions that really matter, there is no harm in going for a walk and thinking, or sleeping on it before reacting.

Most things in life are a blend yet often we want it to be a quick fix instant answer for everything.

Take time when it’s needed, after all, it’s our life and our choices.
