RE: Gratitude or Fault-Finding: Where Do You Focus Your Energy?
I have long battled with myself because I am a fault finder. But I find the faults with myself the most. Sometimes it's exhausting to live with my own expectations, and I know my behaviour of fault finding can have a negative impact on others, especially those I'm closest to too, so it's a daily effort to retrain my mind and actions.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's helpful to read through and understand what it feels like to be the recipient of a fault-finder. :)
I guess it's OK to be self-critical to some degree... as long as you are not going on "witch hunts" against your own psyche and driving yourself to become sad and feeling badly about yourself. I sometimes have to play little games with myself and ask myself "What would happen to the world if I did NOT point out that flyspeck on the wall?" Of course, the answer is usually "nothing."
Thanks for sharing!
That's very true..will think up a version of that question for myself :))
