Feedback Thoughts

"Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head"

This was the first article I chose to read and I thought it was a good one, especially because I have dealt with this in the past of just negative thoughts that go on in my head. Whether it be for a specific reason or it is just there because. I enjoyed the 4 steps Rejeev went through to turn "negativity into productivity". The four steps is a good process and I'm sure could help a ton of people out there. The four steps of this are, 'Look for the positive', 'Hear the Positive', 'Dig in to understand the positive', and last but not least 'Believe the positive, and act as if it was true'. Although Rajeev didn't enjoy hearing the feedback, it was mainly the tone of voice and different phrases from co workers comments that stuck with him, but this 4 process rule, helps him get through it. "Make it a daily practice to shoot for a five-to-one ratio. You may not keep a precise count of how many positive and negative voices you’re allowing inside your head each day, but once you start to stockpile positive comments, you’ll notice a difference in your energy level and output."

"Why Rejection Hurts So much and What to do About it"

Everyone deals with rejection in some form a way growing up, it's just the world we live in these days and is honestly something everyone needs for it to happen to them so they understand why it hurts and what it does to a person. Like the article says, there are minor rejections and devastating rejections as well. I think they are all good for people in a sense so they understand how it feels. There are many ways to respond to criticism, and here are some of them... 'Have Zero Tolerance for Self-Criticism,' 'Revive Your Self-Worth', and 'Boost Feelings of Social Connection.' These things help your emotional stance if you think to yourself and understand what they mean. Rejection is such a crappy feeling but eventually it would pay off.

The Turtle Who Indeed Stopped Talking Story Week 12

Image
  Bibliography: Ellen C Babbitt,  The Turtle who Couldn't Stop Talking One day, I was just strollin around the wildnerness where I live by the pond. There were these two birds who flew around me for quite a while, pretty sure they were geese. I got very nervous and scared so I hid myself in the pond. The geese flew away and never bothered me the rest of the time.  The next day, the two geese came back and I was outside the pond at the time. They came down to me and said, "Turtle, we are looking for some food for the night, can you be our dinner?" I, still scared and nervous at day two, decided to talk calmly to the geese.  "Why would you want to eat me, I've done nothing to the two of you besides be friendly, I just met you guys." I exclaimed. The geese decided to be friends and stop terrorizing me.  A couple days the geese came to visit me at the pond, we talked and hung out a lot. One day the geese tell me they will take me to a far away very nice home if

Logan's Introduction

 Hello fellow classmates, My name is Logan Biggs and I was born in Dallas, Texas on February 3rd, 1998. I have lived in Frisco, Texas since I was in 8th grade, but has always lived in the great state of Texas. I grew up playing soccer since I was 10 and I actually attended Midwestern State University my freshman year on a soccer scholarship. I got hurt, but, short story, ended up here at The University of Oklahoma and my time here has been great. This is my 3rd year here and I am majoring in Finance. Money and math has always been a passion of mine since I can remember. Something cool about my major is that, sometimes, depending what you do, you get to be a strategist for other companies and take care of the financial decisions they choose to make. The best class I took last semester was Business Finance. In my opinion, this was my favorite class because this is what I am majoring in and I really enjoy doing financial problems. My favorite type of movies are comedy and action movies. M
