Feedback Thoughts

Self Criticism


With this post, I am discussing my thoughts on the two articles I read over discussing feedback and how it can have a positive or negative effect on one's self and their work.

The first article I read was titled Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head. One idea that this article promoted was the practice of enforcing positive thoughts from yourself. They called it "5 positive voices for every one negative voice." This simply means looking for five different positive outcomes form a negative situation. This practice would seem to make light of a negative situation as well as give helpful feedback from a negative outcome. I would like to start using this practice to see how it affects me in the future with my mistakes.

The other article I read was titled Why Rejection Hurts So Much and What to Do About It. This article shines a light on self-criticism and really places most of the rejection blame on our own blame. This article shows how mocu more detrimental self-criticism is than criticism from others. We tend to build up and overestimate the amount of criticism we receive in our own heads and that leads to thoughts of failure. Because of this article, I will try and be more self-reflective rather than a self-critic.

    Hi Ryan!

    I love the article about 5 positive voices for every 1 negative voice. I feel like this is something important that every person can gain from. Whether it be negative thoughts about school, family, social life, or self, we should always combat those thoughts with positive affirmations that remind us how lucky we are to be living the lives we are living.

Reading Notes "The Stone Ape"

The Stone Ape and the Waterfall Once there was a large stone at the top of a massive mountain. This stone was special and it could absorb all of the energy from the heavens and the earth. This supernatural stone was magnificent and everyone who viewed it was in awe. One day, the stone had finally taken in so much energy that it couldn't take any more. The stone burst into pieces and out of the explosion of rock came an egg. This egg was made of stone as well and once the egg was ready it hatched just like the stone before it had. But this time a special creature came out of it, an ape made completely of stone came from the egg. This ape grew and learned like any other ape of its kind. He learned to stumble then walk just like any other ape. One day, something peculiar happened. Two golden streams of light burst from his eyes and then shot to the heavens, it startled the gods at the time and they went to investigate. They found the stone ape and even though they were surpris...

Reading Notes Part B "Deaths Messengers"

Deaths Messengers One day a giant was walking along a highway when a man jumped out at him and told him to stop. The man said, "I am death, you have to listen to me." The giant denied him and told death to move out of the way. They disagreed and began to wrestle. It was a long and tough battle but the giant gained the upper hand. He defeated death and left him on the side of the road. Death laid on the road concerned with what the world would look like without him. He was concerned for the people who wouldn't die in his absence. The world would be full of people and nobody would be able to move. Then a young man walked up out of nowhere and started to assist death without knowing who he was. He let death drink from his canteen and he nursed him back to health. Death finally was able to speak to him when he said," I am death and I am extremely grateful for your help. Because of this, I promise to not kill you without warning. When your time comes I will send ...
