Janie -- Corrections

So -- Corrections! @#$@#%$@ them. Love them and curse them.

Let's
focus a few posts on this very important guidance. Really focus in on
this one aspect and you can make some headway in your practice.

Corrections
are needed. Corrections offer instruction. Corrections are wanted.
Corrections feed the emotional need to be attended to, to be seen.
Corrections are upsetting. Corrections can create stress. Corrections
are heard. Corrections can improve or impede performance.

The first thing to note is that your teachers offer guidance and
instruction
for your improvement. You know that. You may have noticed that each
have their own way of 'correcting.' Some more harsh than others. Some
are more
affirming. Some are very empowering. Some 'guide' in a very confusing way. This is true even in school with how different teachers teach.

Give some thought to - What style of correction motivates and inspires you? What kind creates a block.

Keep
in mind this is NOT about your teachers. Although let's be honest some
teachers can use a little instruction on how to be more clear in their
"correction.' You might hear 'feet, Janie, feet' and have no clue what
your feet are doing or what they need to do.

I will explain further.

For now -- Consider what you respond to (this can be inportant info. for you).

Review snippets of memory of various corrections from different teachers.
REMEMBER NO NAMES Please! This is for your observation, you will see.

Note your varying responses.
