It can be a dangerous think to use words without knowing their definition. I find often that a thesaurus can help with this.

If you have something worth sharing, then share it! You never know what could come of it. #WoodAndFruit #LowerYourExpectations #TheBeautifulGame #YourMindAsAGarden #LearningToGarden

Conversation can be great when we use it to communicate, but that is not always what happens. Sometimes it is good to take a step back and seek to understand rather than seek to judge. #TheBeautifulGame #Invalidation #Permission

It may be an inconvenient truth, but emotions can take time to play out. #FeelYourFeelings #ThoughtSoup #Spimes #HealingSucks!

It can be frustrating, but taking the time to seek the truth can save you a world of inconvenience. #TheRealityFilter #FeelYourFeelings #TheEmotionMachine

Sometimes you need to be yourself, even when others disagree #Hate #RightAndWrong #TheBeautifulGame

Your mind is an interesting place, and one thing about it that is unique is that you have to live in it. There are no returns or buying a new one. #YourMindAsAGarden

Sometimes you should go and find the dragon while it is young before it grows up an comes to find you #HealingSucks #Sanitation (movie reference: Little Shop of Horrors)

Sometimes you have to be honest with yourself and think about how what you want to do is going to affect your life. #Hate #HealingSucks!

When I think about it, I find myself seeing that hate is not such a bad thing, even if it can get out of hand at times. #Support

Sometimes we can get so focused on one thing that it seems like it is the only thing that matters, but is it? #DepthInversion #ReceivedOrPerceived #TheRealityFilter

Sometimes the story that we tell ourselves is not true. Sometimes taking a moment to step back and see if there is more information can save you a lot of time.

Sometimes when you think it is a good thing, you have to do something about it #AnythingWorthDoingIsWorthDoingPoorly

Working on yourself is not easy! It is a lot of work and frustration, and you may not have any support. Then when you improve, people may show appreciation for the wrong things. But that is not why we do it. #FakeByDefault #DoubleStandards #Tempering #Teaching #LowerYourExpectations #TheBeautifulGame

Often enough, we as humans tell ourselves things we want to hear rather that things that are accurate. Today we talk about how that idea can affect our ability to learn things.

Pushing further from the last episode on #LowerYourExpectations, is there a point to having low expectations? Why go through the work to do that? #DoubleStandards

Expectations are something that may seem to keep us safe or help us get what we want, but what if that is not the case? #DoubleStandards #ThoughtSoup #PlantingSeeds #DepthInversion

Sometimes we can be hard on ourselves because we did not do well on a test, or did not get a particular job, etc. Today’s episode talks about how doing that may be part of why we are not getting where we want to be. #SettingForSuccess #Labels

Be carful what you plant in your garden #YourMindAsAGarden #Hydroponics #LearningToGarden

Expectations can cause a lot of disappointment. Or they can be tools we use to better ourselves.

While judging and punishing other can feel really good in the moment, sometimes taking a step back to understand why something happened in the first place can lead us to more desirable outcomes. #NoPainNoBrain #ThoughtSoup #Labels

Ben Parker said that ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’ Looking at that another way, if you want something good, it comes with responsibility. #YourMindAsAGarden #Hydroponics #LearningEarly #AnythingWorthDoingIsWorthDoingPoorly

Sometimes we need to take a step back and start smaller so we can finish stronger. #SelfEsteem #Prerequisites #Hydroponics

There are many things that can make communication difficult, and a lot of them are things that happen outside of the conversation and inside of ourselves. Today we look at one of those. #Tools #MoralMqpping

Continuing the concept laid out in #StrengthOfMaterials, we dive into a different type of stress management: thermal. #TheAbilityToAppreciate #YourMindAsAGarden #NoPainNoBrain
