Comments on: Do Yourself Over Again http://greenpsychology.net/2010/06/do-yourself-over-again/ Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:28:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Artist http://greenpsychology.net/2010/06/do-yourself-over-again/#comment-128 Artist Wed, 30 Jun 2010 02:25:17 +0000 http://greenpsychology.net/?p=648#comment-128 I had several good laughs, your intent was realized with me. I am appreciating the richness I create from knowing some of the stories behind the "takes", knowing Char (the dog), Hannah, and how much I have you wanting to do yourself well. I relaxed myself when I first heard you speak of the concept of additional "takes". I have tended to consume significant amounts of personal time and energy analyzing what I could have done better in an interaction, what will be the affects, and how to recover. The first time I caught myself doing these things in life, I dramatically freed me, I already knew exactly how I wanted to do me, so I did, back to the interaction, different me, new out come, and a huge amount of time and energy consumption prevented. Also I support my practice of seeing everything as changing and fluid, temporary with the awareness of "takes", with the permission I give myself to re-do-me. Even if the chance doesn't come, I don't see the person again, I am freer knowing I am flexible to do me differently.

I loved your series of outtakes and I love the notion that a conversation isn't ever over if I want to go back and do some of it again. I do actually put this into practice, having had some coaching from you already in this area and I liberate myself with it. To not be stuck with an outcome that feels wrong. Also, with kids, two things strike me. One, I get a chance to do myself over with them too when I don't like my behavior, and two, they get to learn that they don't need to be stuck either. I got to practice last night after I discovered dog pee on the rug and yelled at the dogs -- my son told me he doesn't like it when I get angry. I asked him if I could rediscover the pee, he said yes, I raised my hands to my head in mock astonishment and asked theatrically, "What is WRONG with these dogs?" We laughed and got to connect more deeply. Plus my feelings shifted about the pee and the dogs. Thanks for this playful reminder.
