Mental Doodle https://mentaldoodle.com Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:54:17 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 386 Guilt Cycle(s) https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2882 https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2882#comments Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:54:17 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2882 Guilt: Going against your own idea of what is ‘correct’. (see # 53)

We usually ‘punish’ ourselves to relieve the burden of this guilt.

Once punished we no longer feel that initial guilt.

 

OK, so?

You no longer feel guilty for the initial action.

Now look at your next action, the one that de-guilted you.

It by itself is now what you are looking at.

You no longer include the original cause /guilt because it’s been solved, remember?

 

Again OK, so?

You overheat water which spills.

A ‘good’ housewife does not do this (Guilt)

So you pull the pan off the stove … and burn your fingers, of course (Punishment)

Now that guilt is gone /punished, you are left with burnt fingers.

A ‘good’ housewife does not burn her fingers. (Guilt!)

So you rush to the fridge to put some butter on your fingers.

And, knock the milk over. Of course. (Punishment)

So that guilt, burnt finger tips, is gone.

Which now leaves you with spilled milk.

A ‘good’ housewife does not spill… etc.

 

To solve this cycle, just

S T O P

It’s the only way to cut the cycle.

 

Burnt toast, baby crying, phone rings etc. ?

S T O P

Cut the cycle.

384 Sometimes https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2877 https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2877#respond Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:41:49 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2877 This is the magic word /concept to cause barriers to become filters.

 

Is killing never good / always bad?

The real life answer is … Sometimes.

Killing is never good:

A terrorist in a crowd, wired with a bomb that can kill many, many people.

He must be killed to prevent that from happening.

Do you save an unwed mother or her baby… or let them both die?

 

Tell-the-truth is always good:

Am I fat? Am I ugly? Are we almost there? Will it Hurt? etc.

 

Ok, so?

You can dramatically speed up your personal growth /progress by actively converting Always – Never into Sometimes.

Start with one – just one – situation and make Never become Almost Never (aka Sometimes)

or make Always become Almost Always (aka: Sometimes)

 

This really sets a tone in your mind that now allows consideration where before this no consideration was even thought relevant.

In this ever rapidly changing world previous Always and Never may simply not apply.

I point out my flaws before you do, so I am ‘safe’.

I deride myself first, just in case you might.

Listing my Boo Boos is survival for me.

 

Do you like people who always do this?

Isn’t it somewhat of a burden to have to constantly reassure someone who always seems uncertain even in something they have been doing all their life.

 

Saaay, you don’t do this, right?

311 Telling Lies https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2468 https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2468#respond Sun, 12 Aug 2012 14:06:22 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2468 Yes, of course I lie.

So do you.

 

In fact, I bet everyone lies

in every country.

 

“Am I fat?”

“Am I ugly?”

“Are we almost there?”

“Will it hurt?”

 

These are easy answers, …when you lie.

 

What about ‘fat & ugly’ in a business sense.

Now you have to compare telling the truth with … embarrassment.

 

My only guideline is to never lie for personal gain.

Then I feel fine.

53 Guilt https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=95 https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=95#comments Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:38:54 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=95 Your mind works as follows:
You do NOT compare this o with this O to conclude one is larger than the other!
You absorb all of the o‘s you have ever seen, and overlay them to arrive at a composite-abstract-ideal. Most ‘o‘s are almost the same size because most ‘o‘s come from reading.
You compare each ‘o‘ with that composite-ideal in your head.
And then you say the first ‘o‘ is (let’s say) 1/2 the size of the one-in-your-head and the second one is 4x the size of the one-in-your-head. THEN you say the big ‘O‘ is 8 times the small one.

 

This is the source of guilt!
You have an abstract-ideal in-your-head for everything. Absolutely everything.
Think of an ideal /favorite meal. (play the game!)
Would you be alone?   … With others? (play the game!)
Would there be music?   … Flowers?   … What color? (play the game!)
Candles?  Shape?  Color? (play the game!)
See, you even have it down to the color /shape of the flowers /candles in your abstract meal!
Absolutely everything has an ideal-abstract in-your-head.

 

And the amount you deviate from that abstract = the amount of Guilt you feel.

 

My father did all his work and, on Fridays, would go to a movie.
His friend (at the next desk) would not. He said he felt guilty.
He thought he was getting paid for being at the office for 48 hours (in those days!) a week.
My father thought he was getting paid for doing the job whatever time it took.
Sooo when each compared taking a couple of hours off to their abstract-ideal-composite, one felt guilty and the other did not.

 

Review your composite-abstract-ideal. A fresh perspective could lessen or eliminate the guilt. (Don’t accept the ‘abstract’ that Guilt is ‘good’, now you know where it comes from!)

25 How Old Are You? https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=46 https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=46#comments Sun, 05 Oct 2008 12:35:57 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=46 How do you treat a young child who’s learning?
Do you act impatient, sneer, put down, deride, complain and so on?
Of course not!

 

In your head you are a bunch of different ages.

 

When it comes to the subject of CRYSTALLOGRAPHY I bet you are, at most, 12 years old.
You have no more information a 12 year old has on that subject.
If you consider your hobby, you’re much older than your physical age.
How long would it take to get that amount of information in normal, everyday living?
How ‘old’ would one likely have to be?

 

So put these two statements together and ask yourself:
Just how do I treat a young child (myself!) who’s learning?
Because in anything new, unusual or different, I am as if I were a child.

 

Stop acting impatient, sneering, deriding, complaining and so on, with yourself!
You are, after all, exactly as a child, learning!

 

And, how do you treat a young child who’s learning?

Take a chance on getting slapped, you might get kissed!

 

People are mostly the same. A good restaurant is a good restaurant to almost everyone. So is a good book, or movie.

 

Quite often we allow unstated barriers to prevent us from asking for the very thing the other person also would be pleased to have happen.

 

Suddenly they stared at each other and one blurted out, “Let’s get out of here! This is a lousy movie!”
As simply as that they did something they both wanted, but normally wouldn’t do.

 

Keep It Super Simple really works well.

Are you nourishing yourself, these days?

It is all too easy to put off taking time to ‘feed’ yourself.

Listen to music, go for a long walk, read a good book.

Get more sun, especially in winter.

If not now, when?

I wasn’t doing it, so I actually scheduled it as if it were an appointment.

Then it worked!
