Time to review. It’s only been one day but I’ve had quite the experience.
Listened to this for 8 hours in a fairly toxic workplace. I looped it with different things but towards the end of the day settled in towards the idea that it’s best with Jing and Core Restoration. So I ended up looping these 3.
Core Restoration
Jing
Mind Restoration
Jing
That’s my best workplace playlist so far based on the results.
I’m not planning on using Heart Restoration in the workplace. Though I could be wrong and it turn out to be great for that. But I plan on using it at home and I expect it to be life-changing. I’ve noticed that hope leaks out of me because of past events. And I can’t get my hopes up to the level where they would be a motivating force for me. And I need them up to that level. I expect this to change that.
Please excuse me calling this “Mind Restoration”. But just for ease of access I am. It’s more like The-ability-to-hold-on-to-your-own-shen Restoration. Your Shen is a resource that people want to take. But you should be able to only give it when and to whom you wish. Same with Jing and Chi. They are all on the spectrum of your life force. They are forces to move and change self, others, and the world.
The biggest difference I noticed with Mind Restoration was that people’s opinions didn’t bother me. Their view of me, or even the view of myself that they wanted to impart to me (which in the worst cases can be dishonest and for their own advantage), did not bother me. I didn’t believe it. It had no emotional import to me. They were themselves, and I was myself. And those two things were not intermingled.
I kept more of my own mental energy. Or I kept more of the energy of my own self-perception and even self-worth. Which led people to see me as giving out less energy, which led them to misinterpret me as having some flaw or weakness or even timidity. Which was not at all the case. But people’s perceptions are their perceptions.
This was an interesting paradox, the thing that was giving me the ability to be far less bothered by the views of others also led to them falsely believing they had an excuse to view me as inferior to them. So I thought, if I’m keeping more of my own energy, and it’s helping me, but I’m getting negative feedback (from deeply flawed people), what will I do? I decided I would keep armoring my energy but also add more energy. So I brought in Chi and Jing, and eventually just stayed with Jing.
That worked. I also brought Core Restoration back into the picture. It worked. I had plenty of energy. I put out my best. I felt my best. I was the least bothered by negative people I have ever been. I still got negative feedback from negative people, but that’s like saying “birds fly”. That’s what they do. Some people seek out any excuse to look down on someone because that is their food source. That’s all they have.
But, it worked. Again, I did my best, felt my best, thought my best, and received the least amount of negative feedback possible from negative people. So I hit all my marks. I can’t have higher goals than that in a certain society. What they still gave me, did not bother me.
By the end of the night I had become a powerhouse of self-confidence, and good influence towards others, and immunity to baseless attacks. Jing is no joke. Keep your Jing up.
