Just another short one.
A friend was telling me about his lunch hour yoga session. He told me that toward the end of it, the meditation was on “self-observation without criticism.” He said that when the topic came up he thought about me. Knowing that really made me pause for a little bit. Am I so self-destructive in my words and thoughts? Am I really so willing to bring myself down? It really seems like I am to some extent. I’ve stated before that I seem to be my own worst critic. I can see the value of using that to make myself stronger. Still, there’s a real danger of falling into negative self-image and general dissatisfaction if left unchecked. What I find a bit telling is the fact that other people seem to be in tune with the fact that I’m way harder on myself than I should be. Isn’t that sort of messed up? Yes, yes it is. In the end it’s up to me to be a witness for myself and to keep myself in check. No one else can do it.
