#AhaOfToday Make a table with two columns. On the left column, write your top 5 values/character traits. On the right, write the antonyms of the words in the left column. The right column contains the characteristics of your shadow side. Any ahas?
#AhaOfTheWeek Making “assume positive intent” more practical: assume that if someone’s work seems sloppy it’s because they’re being asked to do too much stuff.
#AhaOfToday I felt it today in my energy levels: when I moved from the couch to my desk, I became more focused and more analytical.
#AhaOfToday even when something is many more times more expensive than I imagined, I can ask for more information: What is included in the quote? What makes up the biggest chunk of the cost? etc.

#AhaOfToday Having morning tea, for 30 mins or so, with my partner is really, really rewarding.
#AhaOfTheWeek It’s ok to say no, ignore, or walk away from demanding/dominant/screaming people.

#AhaOfToday Does any person have an absolute capacity to know what is good or bad? In an ever-changing and complex system with more than 8 billion actors?
#AhaOfToday I got a massage today and I relaxed and sighed a lot. I'm making this a weekly habit.
#AhaOfToday As the stock market is deep in the red, I notice my wish to want to take no-for-investing money and to buy more stocks (to capitalize the most on, hopefully, the future increase). I'm not following it, but the wish is strong.
#AhaOfToday If I'd simplify my inner voices to just 2: the sage and the child, the one that's dominating my life is the sage. The child doesn't have any chance to speak out or to wish for something.
#AhaOfTheWeek I usually get frustrated when the code is messy. I could rephrase that into I’m having an opportunity to contribute to mending this code. It sounds better to me because it’s something that I like doing and am quite good at. #PositiveThinking
#AhaOfToday As a recovering perfectionist, I am yet to learn how to find the most impactful thing to work on and park the rest of the initiatives. Any advice of how I could get started?
#AhaOfToday I was pleasantly surprised when, when someone was upset, I switched automatically into listening, trying to understand and summarizing what I've heard. And it worked: the other started to relax and the dialogue started again.
#AhaOfToday Refactoring feels good :)

#AhaOfToday How to argue effectively: understand that "you will never change anyone's mind on a matter of opinion". - https://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2004/03/21/charles_rules_of_argument
#AhaOfTheWeek My habit is to check my personal email in the morning. I had an email that triggered me and took 2 hours for me to process and put back in its box. I had different plans for those 2 hours. From now, I’ll skip personal emails in the morning.
