080- Navigating Feedback and Criticism
04/10/24 • 53 min
If you’re hurt and angered by unsolicited criticism, you come by it honestly through human biology. It activates our instincts. In the modern world, we navigate so many intrusive opinions about how we live our lives coming from people who aren’t stakeholders in how we do life.
Having a well-thought-out personal policy about who is and isn’t invited to give advice, feedback, reflection, or criticism is useful in being able to navigate these situations effectively. Then we can fast track soothing our instincts and coming back to center, rather than ruminating on triggered, distorted reflections from unqualified sources. In our important relationships, it is vital to understand how we impact the other person directly, but we can still have boundaries about what opinions beyond their direct experience are invited.

079- How To Raise Your Vibration
When we raise our vibration (or make our energy brighter), we move through the world more easily. It improves our direct, in the moment experience as well as helping to manifest things that support us and deflect things that do not. There are many things we can do to raise our vibration. Ideally, you want to create a personal list of things that have a high return on investment of results for energy expended. These things ideally will also be highly accessible on an average Tuesday and be things that you enjoy doing. I give a number of possible activities and experiences that might support this.
