After reading the books by Palmer and Riso/Hudson for the past couple of years and trying to relate the habits of attention to my life... events unfolded
during the last few weeks that brought these habits into clarity for me... I
could finally see (up close and way too personal!) how elitism, push/pull
relating, living in my imagination or the past/future etc. has handicapped me
in my life. Although I must admit that these traits must also be assets in
their own way they have caused much pain, confusion and stalling out. Has
anyone out there, no matter what type found ways to turn these habits of
attention into assets that work FOR you? Do any 4's have experiential tips
that have worked? I do find myself trying hard to be more present, in the
moment and paying attention to what is going on rather than seeing potential,
being someplace with someone that I truly wanted to be with and being bored by the whole experience and then tuning out to the moment, extreme self
absorption to the point that I'm so self conciousness that I tend to almost
shut down at times......etc.
Any suggestions from any type would be most welcome....
