We've been talking about the circle if influence and the circle of concern. This is a good and interesting concept to look at because it makes me aware on what are the things that I concentrate more. It is very interesting that I concentrate on the things that i cannot change or have not control over. By focusing on my circle of influence, then I can do something about and change my situation that I am in.
We also talked about the "I have to" or "I must" and "I choose to" or "I want to". These are very interesting to say because some of the "I have to" are not negative but just phrases that we automatically say, and of course, there are others that we say in as a negative emotion that we don't want to do it. One example that comes to mind is when I say: I have to call my parents. It is a phrase that I say in a positive way, but also to remind myself to do it.
It was funny yesterday in class, because we were asked to make a whining list. Yes, I whining list, and as for me, I do not like to whine (no, I'm not perfect just trying to be positive), but since it was an activity, then okay. The list turned out to be not so much a whining list, but just a list of the things that I need to do... or have to do?. Anyway, I need to be aware of the language that I use when doing things that I have to do, when in reality I want to do, or I choose to do. Wow, sounded very complicated, but I got it.
