Once upon a time, Paul "shoulded" us! Can you believe that? It’s true. And what did he insist we should DO? Write excellent shownotes for each of our episodes! From the very beginning, we’ve not been content with simply offering a podcast to the world, but we’ve felt we SHOULD provide our listeners with great shownotes. No one asked us to. No one has told us these notes are important (or unimportant). We have decided for ourselves that they matter and - at times - heaped some extra pressure on ourselves for the value judgments we make about the quality of our notes and WHEN these here notes get written!
Although it might sound a bit meta: this phenomenon is exactly what this episode is about! In this one we take a look at how reflection and self-examination work in relationship to evaluation and value judgment. Can we observe ourselves without judgement? And we use reflection as a tool to inform the future rather than as a weapon against our past self?
The reality is that we need not assign value to ourselves over how well we nail our day to day experiences…or our weekly episode shownotes! In fact, in terms of these notes: we might do well to write them and release them to the world without associating them with a sense of worthiness!
However, so often that’s not how we humans work! We tell stories about who we are and how worthy we are based upon how we show up in the world and the criteria we deem valuable.
Can you observe without judgement? Can you reflect without weaponizing? What does compassionate reflection look like in you?
