If nothing else, please read the last line of the image.
The second half of staff training today featured a speaker that was basically preaching the gospel of what I've been working toward as a human for the last ten years or so. It started with small noticings of how I could better another person's day by being intentional with communication. It has manifested into being an appreciator of the efforts I see others make. I am not great at this, in part because I am terrible at reading other people and eye contact scares the shit out of me, but I try every day. I am attaching the notes I took from the session and I hope that if you have a question or a thought that you share it. The one thing that resonated the most with me today was the line " there are a bunch of voices in your head that aren't yours, should you be listening to them?" Don't let negativity bias dominate your thoughts because thoughts become actions and actions become habits. I am starting am appreciation journal because I am struggling to default to grace and appreciation in a way that was my normal for the last ten years, more so with myself than others. I don't want to create bad habits from the current thoughts so I need to change the thoughts.
