9351. Helpful
criticism is about making the world a better place. Unhelpful criticism is about making yourself
feel better;
9352. From a young age, many of us learn unconsciously that being critical of other people is an effective strategy for feeling better about ourselves;
9353. Criticism of others is often a distraction, a form of procrastination that lets you focus on other people’s problems instead of doing the hard work of looking at your own issues;
9354. When you ignore your own insecurities by pointing out other people’s flaws, it temporarily feels good, but that only allows your insecurities to grow. As they grow, they become more and more painful, which means you need to use criticism more and more in order to temporarily feel better;
9355. When you ignore your own insecurities, you get addicted to criticism as a shallow strategy for feeling better;
9356. Ignoring your feelings often leads to relief in the moment, but, in the long run, it’s a setup for emotional insecurity and poor resilience;
9357. Just because something feels bad doesn’t mean it is bad;
9358. Many of the most important things in life require feeling bad initially in order to feel much better later;
9359. If you habitually avoid things that feel bad, you miss out on the opportunity to feel much better in the future. This is true of finances, health, relationships and your own emotions;
9360. If you habitually avoid anxiety and nervousness, you miss out on the opportunity to grow and take advantage of new opportunities;
9361. If you habitually avoid sadness, it’s very hard to connect empathetically with important people in your life;
9362. If you habitually avoid anger and frustration, it’s very hard to become assertive and decisive;
9363. Dwelling on past mistakes or losses gives us the illusion of control(, which is why we get addicted to it);
9364. Even though dwelling on past mistakes makes us feel excessively guilty or sad or ashamed, it also makes us feel in control. If, deep down, the bigger fear is lack of control and helplessness then accepting a lot of sadness and chronic guilt might be a worthwhile tradeoff if it lets you avoid an even more painful feeling like helplessness;
9365. If you want to let go of past mistakes and failures and get on with your life, you must be willing to confront and accept your helplessness and lack of control;
9366. The last thing you want (to see) is a puppy/dog leaping at your penis/cock after getting out of the shower (naked);
9367. A puppy/dog has hit my bare/naked penis/cock with its nose and face;
9368. Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there;
9369. Charlie (Dog) likes sand;
9370. Dreams don’t work unless you do;
9371. The butter chicken pizza at Chicago’s Pizza With-A-Twist (ChicagosPizzaTwist.com) in Arlington is pretty tasty. . . . So is the chicken curry (pizza);
9372. Don’t try 7 stouts in a row (specifically The Virginia Beer Company’s Evil Santa spiced milk stout, Three Notch’d Brewing’s Biggie S’mores imperial stout, Angry Chair Brewing’s Loaded French Toast imperial stout, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery’s gingerbread stout & Christmas Pancakes imperial mild stout, Old Bust Head Brewing Company’s Peppermint Caramel Macchiato stout & Hi-Wire Brewing’s 10W-40 imperial stout) . . . just don’t . . . it’s too much;
9373. Treat others the way they want to be treated;
9374. In a recent study published in the journal The Cochrane Library, researchers from the United Kingdom conducted an elaborate review of data from nearly 100 studies and they found that people consistently consume more food and drink (i.e., more calories) when offered larger-sized portions, packages and tableware compared to when smaller-sized portions are offered;
9375. The researchers found that adults, on average, consume about 15% more or about 250 calories, when offered larger serving sizes. An excess of that magnitude could equate to upwards of a 10-pound weight gain over the course of a year;
9376. (In 1838, 272) slaves were sold by the (Maryland) Jesuits to help pay for the debts of Georgetown University (then Georgetown College);
9377. Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy and change ordinary opportunities into blessings;
9378. The filet mignon at Bobby Van’s Steakhouse is big . . . and so good. . . . The sautéed mushrooms are pretty tasty too;
9379. The Capital Wheel in National Harbor is (kind of) a disappointment. . . . There’s (really) not much to see;
9380. The Winery at Bull Run (WineryAtBullRun.com) is (literally) next door to the (Bull Run) battlefield;
9381. Dogs shouldn’t eat almonds. They aren’t as toxic as some nuts, but it’s one of the food’s dogs can’t digest as easily as humans;
9382. Apparently, pecans, walnuts and macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs;
9383. Cinnamon toast tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch (cereal) . . . shocker;
9384. It’s usually not the criticism from outsiders that holds you back. More often, it’s your own mind worrying about what other people are going to think;
9385. We often procrastinate not because of hurtful comments from others, but rather from our own fears about what others are going to think;
9386. Internal fears and (internal) criticism/dialogue often hold us back from achieving our goals and many times they stop us from even getting started;
9387. It can take a lifetime to learn that just because people criticize you it doesn’t mean they actually care about your choice to do something different;
9388. Haters often criticize and move on so that means you can safely ignore them and continue doing your thing;
9389. Criticism is almost always in your head;
9390. The tendency to hold onto negative criticism is natural for most people;
9391. According to researchers at Florida State University, we remember negative emotions (much) more strongly and in more vivid detail;
9392. Even happy people remember more negative events than positive ones;
9393. Scientists say that it takes about five positive events to make up for one negative one;
9394. “Don’t look at the wall. Your car goes where your eyes go;”
9395. Criticism and negativity from difficult people are like a wall. If you focus on them then you’ll run right into them. You’ll get blocked by negative emotions, anger and self-doubt. Your mind will go where your attention is fixed. Criticism and negativity don’t prevent you from reaching the finish line, but they certainly can distract you from it;
9396. If you focus on the road in front of you and on moving forward then you can safely speed past the walls and barriers that are nearby. If you’re dealing with criticism then don’t let the wall keep you from seeing the road. Focus on the path ahead. Ignore the boos (they usually come from the cheap seats);
9397. Don’t be the hater. Don’t be the person who tears down someone else’s hard work. The world needs more people who contribute their gifts and share their work and ideas. Working up the courage to do that can be tough. Support the people who display that courage;
9398. Arkansas is the biggest producer of rice in the U.S.;
9399. Sake is (Japanese) rice wine;
