Normal but Good Day
Not much thatās interesting to note of today . I had another
EOG ST1 +
R.I.C.H manifestation today when I met someone who I could recruit. Also a potential client. We had a really nice talk, which I find to be interesting. I donāt tend to talk really well with people like him due to my past internalized bad experiences
. Today was different and I enjoyed that.
True Sell would be really useful in a situation like this, in addition to the Way of Understanding module. Canāt wait to have it in my stack next cycle. Also, my ability to emotionally connect with others on a deep level was noticeable in the conversation. I donāt attribute this to the subliminals I ran since I was always like this but
Ascension definitely reduced the fear factor a bit, which Iām grateful for.
Social
Co-worker sought my help today and seemed respectful . Actually Iām a lot more sociable as compared to yesterday, in a better mood. Not sure why. Perplexes me
. Respect seems to be increasing slightly, Iām not 100% sure. I feel like respect is earned in a lot of ways. Iām not exactly competent at my job here, so the lack of respect is honestly understandable
This brings something to mind. Iām reminded of Warmth + Competence as a trait for good leaders. (By the way, itās interesting no one has pointed out that Chosen fits this to a tee). Made me find this article which talked about it. Oddly enough, I donāt see it get talked about a lot at all.
The matrix of warmth and competence has 4 combinations or possible judgements that determine both assumptions and the behaviour or attitude we take with people. Cuddyās research suggests 4 distinct attitudes arise and with then stereotypical assumptions:
High warmth and high competence results in admiration. This is the charismatic CEO or client lead
High competence but low warmth creates envy. This is the highly technical IT guy who is essential to the project but not someone you invite for an after-work drink.
High warmth but low competence results in pity. This is typically thought of as the working mother or older person struggling to understand a changed workplace.
Low warmth and low competence generates feelings of contempt. These people arenāt typically employed, indeed the unemployed are often categorised in this way.
This makes a lot of sense when I think about it. Really good article, everybody should read it. Thereās a domino effect as a result of my avoidant and fearful tendencies. It results in me procrastinating, which leads me to not being disciplined enough to do things, which leads to me being incompetent. My incompetency either makes people pity or have contempt for me. It also explains why Iām considered a leader/charismatic in some circles and in others Iām disrespected/ignored. The good news is Iām considered quite warm a lot of the time (still need work though), so the only thing that really needs serious work on is my competence. Which means, I have to work on the first domino in the chain. Basically these three things:-
- Eliminate and dissolve any internal sense (of) fear, procrastination, doubt.
Things to Improve
Avoidance of responsibilities are still ongoing . It manifests as a sort of nagging anxiety at the back of my head until I do it. My bad habit of the years of avoiding doing anything that causes me discomfort is still in inertia and affecting me at the moment. Breaking that static sludge holding me back will need to be done soon.
Saw a marketing video from a competitor and I had thoughts of, "I wish I had the drive to actually do something like that. If only I wasnāt so lazy ". I feel like I have such high potential, if I just take action everything will fall into my lap
Very annoying, I donāt want to be all talk no action.
Lots of work to do. Sleep habits are abysmal, cleanliness needs work, responsibilities need to be done. Small steps need to be made the next day.
Forum Conversations
Had a nice chat with someone on the forum. Actually in the past few days, Iāve talked to several. Always good to mix around with new people, they seemed cool. Personally, I think most people here at least have good intentions - which I like .
Things Iām Proud of
Iām still consistently journaling every day before I go to bed
. Iām happy about this. It might seem like a small thing but I find sticking to something more than a few days to be a major accomplishment for me. Now thereās no denying Iām partially using it as a way to avoid my tasks but still, Iāll take this as a win. Digital journaling is a lot easier than writing it down physically, so itās a good idea that I wasnāt too fixated to do it physically.
