1.
Become aware – be open to feedback.
2.
Reflect on the feedback provided. If you can’t see it, you can’t change it.
3.
Understand your feelings about the
feedback. Use the Five Whys to reflect.
4.
Allow yourself the freedom to change.
5.
Master your mind. Use mindfulness to accept yourself, to learn
and to grow.
Consider that enlightenment is a journey and that the
outcome of our lives will be based on the choices we make. The focus should always be on control of
self, and not the control of others.
This is especially difficult with parenting when we often mistake
control for caring and by doing things for our children to ensure they are
successful can hinder their own development when they will learn significantly
more from trying on their own (even if they fail).
Consider that it is easier to deflect and avoid, but it is
harder to be vulnerable. However,
vulnerability, and being exposed from a “heart space” is where growth can
happen. In fact, it is believed that by only
by exposing our own vulnerability can meaningful conversations and
relationships happen.
