Feedback Strategies

I read about the 6 mental habits that will sabotage your success, with perhaps the most striking and resonant with me being seeking audience approval.  I think that sometimes I really can spend too much time considering what the audience will think and judge about me, instead of just focusing on really doing my best work and pleasing myself.  I don't normally struggle with self-doubt, just worry about how the audience might react sometimes to what I am writing.
For this week's reading I found the article about praise to be very interesting.  It was a unique perspective and one that I had not really considered much before.  I liked how the author was very direct with addressing the problems inherent in praise, something that we normally consider good and worth doing.  It made me second guess a little bit some of the things I "praise" about my family members and friends, but I was reassured by his reassurance that we still need to find thing to praise, just maybe put a little more thought into it.

Week 4 Storytelling "The Jump"

  Photo Source Cold shivers ran the length of Psyche’s spine as she contemplated the crashing waves breaking against the sharp rocks hundreds of feet below her.  Tears streamed down her cheeks, aided by the frigid wind and brought on by the terrible sadness in her heart.  She glanced back at her family, at her loving parents, at her weeping sisters.  This was the last time she would ever see their faces. Her heart stopped as she leapt, every muscle in her body clenched and her vision went black as the rushing air slipped past her small frame.  She was acutely aware of her own beating heart, its dull drumbeat strangely isolated from her own screams and those of the wind.  Then, everything was black. She opened her eyes, not to the sight of the underworld, but to the rushing ocean.  The wind whistled around her and she realized that she was flying through the air, rapidly, propelled by some invisible hand.  She started, and nearly fainted a...
