schematics
Sep. 26th, 2017 02:21 pmI was talking to Amber about Schemas - mental frameworks - and she clued me in to the Mindset book. Anyway it came up because a) Ty needs to adjust his mindset about his baby sister and realize that she is 5 now. He still thinks of her as a toddler. That's a hard mental adjustment for anybody esp an aspie kid - that someone is older!
b) in leadership class I was thinking about what I consider my weaknesses then I realize that - what i've thought of as my weaknesses...are things that i've worked to improve for my adult life = fifteen years. So just maybe I need to reorganize my image of myself...just maybe I've made progress. It was hard to categorize myself for the thing, not because I don't know myself, but because I am very flexible! Or so I claim. It's not cut and dried.
c) Um the fact that I am driving a car above my 'station' is another thing to mentally adapt to. Someone squealed and hugged me about it, which is probably the right thing :)
Thinking time - some smart person was talking about the value of taking 15 minutes to think. I HAVE to sit and think, quietly with my eyes closed sometimes, or looking at the ceiling, to figure out what's important to do next. I guess I'm flexing some kind of muscle that way?
Also that's why I don't usually feel too bad about doing this at work, I don't take that much time to do it normally and keeping my brain in order is um kind of essential.
Lastly I left our strategic plan part 2 session feeling good. Not scared and excited but calmly good, like we're on the right track already and we'll organize ourselves and set parameters so we can continue to grow up. I SOUND like a grownup. sigh.
