You will swing in one direction for a while, then you will swing the other way, and then you'll go back to the first side (but not quite as high) and then back again. Each time the swing is not quite so dramatic. <br /><br />I've seen it most obviously happening in doormat women (and occasionally men) learning to be assertive. To begin with they become aggressive then they fade back to weak and doormats, then they try again and are a little less aggressive, but still more than can reasonably be called assertive. It swings to and fro until they find their balance.<br /><br />I think it's the same with most things in life. I swing between the two, but I don't appreciate being told that I'm focusing on negatives when I've just given positives and a heads up about something that may or may not be considered a negative depending on your viewpoint (politics).<br /><br />In my case, writing is how I process stuff. I don't think I have a very good internal dialogue, but writing allows it to come out in a way that can be surprising even to me sometimes. It's almost like talking to myself. I have a ton of pieces that I've never published, simply because by the time I'd finished them, I'd figured it out and it seemed quite trivial after that.<br /><br />I also like hearing the reactions of other people. You, for example, think totally sideways to the way I do and so I love getting your input, for all that it's landed me in trouble from time to time ;)<br /><br />But I want honest reactions. Yes people tend to rant on facebook, or whine, or brag. It seems at times that suggesting something that goes against popular opinion makes me a bad person instead of a thinking sycophant.Debbie Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165633698868069538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754601570054361358.post-32645979747720002762012-09-17T17:31:11.621+10:002012-09-17T17:31:11.621+10:00Just a quick posting for now, since I'm only r...Just a quick posting for now, since I'm only recent out of da cow shed and smell of poop.<br /><br />The posting negative stuff.<br />First up, generally its cathartic if not allowed to be habit forming. And since you're not a nun, you won't need the habit.<br /><br />Second up, writing is an Action.<br />(hence why some people feel good about about Doing It, because it's actually putting something internal into motion. even if you never intend to empower it further.)<br /> But with Actions, they require motivation, and sadly until you train yourself out of it, and/or until life orientates* to more favourable opportunities the majority of motivations will be negatively based. ie motivations of annoyance, disgust, irritation, desperation, loneliness are more likely to arouse you to Act and in this case, Write.<br /><br />* ie you Will your life to orientate.<br /><br />As you pass through this, and master it, on this cycle (and did you think the lessons only come around once? Nah, they stick on a hood and crook and try to sneak up in other forms).<br />Anyway, as you master the negative and understand it, and you deliberately fill your life with more positive motivators, you will exude more positive Actions.<br /><br />The first cycle, we do the fluffy and get the cheery disposition and the stars in our eyes. The we grow, and learn. And we see the magician behind the curtain. We become familiar with the magician, and then we further our art. Our art becomes wonderful. Then we see the purpose behind the magician, and must cope with that. And then we master our purpose.<br /> And soon we learn that we stand in the center of our circle, each part holds a place for us if we choose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
