The Power of Self-Awareness Transforming Criticisms, Complaints, and Blame

Have you ever considered how much of your daily thought process is on repeat?

Research suggests we have between 60,000 to 120,000 thoughts each day, and most of these are the same thoughts we had yesterday and the day before.

This repetition can shape our beliefs and behaviours, leading us to think this is who we are.

But is it really?

Our brains are incredible yet highly predictable. They like familiarity and patterns.

This is why we often find ourselves stuck in cycles of Criticising, Complaining, and Blaming (CCB).

These negative thought patterns not only impact our personal lives but also the workplace environment.

As someone passionate about improving workplace dynamics, I’ve found that fostering self-awareness is key.

In my Lunch and Learn sessions, I help individuals look inward to understand their thought patterns and communication styles. It’s about recognising which aspects of ourselves are genuinely us and which are merely conditioned responses.

One effective strategy is to stop the CCB cycle and replace it with Reframing, Rewiring, and Reorganizing (RRR).

 

Here’s how:

Reframing: Shift your perspective on challenges. Instead of seeing them as problems, view them as opportunities for growth and learning.

Rewiring: Change the way you think about and respond to situations. This involves actively working to develop new, positive thought patterns.

Reorganising: Assess and adjust your beliefs and behaviours to align with your true values and goals.

By understanding and practicing these concepts, we can create a more supportive and productive environment, especially for neurodiverse individuals.

When companies ask how I can add the most value, I always advocate for fostering an environment where criticising, blaming, and complaining are replaced with reframing, rewiring, and reorganising.

This not only enhances personal growth but also boosts overall productivity and team morale.

Let’s create workplaces where self-awareness and constructive communication thrive.

Are you ready to embrace the RRR approach?
