Feedback Thoughts

The two feedback articles I read were "A Simple 5-Second Habit to Rewire Your Harshly Self-Critical Brain" and "How to Get Past Negativity Bias in Order to Hardwire Positive Experience." The first article I read essentially talks about "rewiring" your brain. Instead of being so critical of yourself for any setback, just think of it like a minor setback and go back to what you were doing before. The important part, however, is making sure you congratulate yourself for going back to your task. Congratulating yourself for these small tasks leaves less room for being self-critical and can boost your self confidence. I actually agree with this a lot. As someone who beats themselves up for any small setback, reading something that can improve this flaw is really helpful. In the second article, it basically talks, similarly to the previous article, about rewiring your brain. This article, however, talks about rewiring your brain to not focus on the negatives so much. To do so, you employ a technique called HEAL which stands for Have, Enrich, Absorb, and Link positive and negative thoughts. By doing that, we can rewire our brain to focus more on the positives rather than negatives. I am actually a big support of feedback. You need a different perspective than yourself if you ever want to improve. This is especially true since we are writing stories. What you think is perfect could potentially be improved by someone with a different perspective from yourself.
