work-life re-evaluation ... 25 April 2026 #worklife #drbae

work-life re-evaluation ... I do rather not like the term work life balance ...but I do feel that I'm some way forced to use it ?where are you going to put your fulcrum, your pivot point, where the weighting of your work Vs yourself, your friends, your family is balanced?perhaps it's time to reassess and re-evaluate where we are? that waiting could come in terms of time, effort, consideration, money ... although time of course is the most precious of things! 25 April 2026 #worklife #drbae

more rifting on the concept of self ... this is a tricky one though? 23 April 2026

previously I was thinking how the concepts of self usually had opposite or inverse concepts ...like the public self and private self two forms of self have obvious opposite meanings ... the past self and the future self ... I do not think have an underlying opposite impetus or inverted behaviours or contrary motivations or whatever you might say? what do you think?#drbae #selfimprovement #self#shadowwork

rifting on the concept of self ... 23 April 2026 #awareness #selfawareness #selfimprovement

just rifting on ideas of the "self"and the idea there are so many categories and taxonomies ...some types that came to mind the other day was 1. public Vs private self 2. performative Vs essential selfyou could draw a diagram creating four quadrants where typically for most people most of the time - the public and the performative self go together and similarly the private and the essential self are usually in union.sometimes if we categorise ourselves identifying what self we are in, it will help us with our own self-awareness

a perfectly reasonable question to think about? 23 April 2026 #personaldevelopment

a perfectly reasonable question to think about?what thoughts are there inside your head does a perfectly reasonable, but you probably should keep them there? and then of course there are variations on that question ...what thoughts are there inside your head that are perfectly reasonable, but you are too scared to say, or feel inhibited to say ...etc.best wishes Iain 23 April 2026 #personaldevelopment

etc uit’s a question of identity - 21 April 2026 #selfawareness #personalgrowth #drbae

it's a question of identity -whatever you do whatever you decide to be your question of identity, I accept that we might have a calling ... art, literature, law, making things, building things, teaching, mathematics and science, etc.even your occupation ... you should have a greater sense of identity and a foundation of identity built upon itwhatever you do - don't let your actual current job that you have right now become your identity!because that specific role, can be taken away, or you can outgrow, etc21 April 2026 #selfawareness #personalgrowth #drbae

if you aren’t willing to debate - you are being a bigot - 21 April 2026 #openmind

if you aren't willing to debate - you are being a bigot - don't be a bigot - that doesn't mean you agree with the person you are talking to - Indeed I would encourage you not to back down from whatever you believe provided if you are open to examine and question yourself and question others with integrity - be an open, honest and honourable person, where your principles have as far as you manage a basis of integrity ....21 April 2026 #openmind #personalgrowth #drbae
