Comments on: No Time for Otheresteem? http://www.otheresteem.org/blog/?p=40 Conversations about the book "Otheresteem, Regaining the Power to Value Others" Wed, 28 Jul 2010 22:54:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Susan Mazza http://www.otheresteem.org/blog/?p=40&cpage=1#comment-12 Susan Mazza Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:48:28 +0000 http://www.otheresteem.org/blog/?p=40#comment-12 While time is often used as an excuse, I don't think it has anything to do with time. Mindfulness and connection do not have to take time as you so eloquently point out, although I do think it requires more energy from some people than others, at least initially. I think some people are just not willing to invest that energy, or themselves for that matter, for many reasons. Keeping your head down and just getting your job done can be a very safe way to hide. What might take the time however is the self reflection required to get past whatever is really in the way of their willingness to engage in the life giving practices of Otheresteem. Really great post Monica. And I absolutely love the conversation of Otheresteem. it is incredibly potent and I learn much from being a part of it.

Part of our modern world is practicality, but sometimes it leads us to isolation and dispair. Every opportunity to connect with other people is a blessing. Thanks for your continued support...(and I'm working on making the book more readily available in Europe...news soon!) So true, Dorothy!

It's actually possible today to even buy groceries without any meaningful contact with another person! Provided that recognition is shown in an appropriate and constructive way, it can only bring added value to both the individuals and the organisation -whether it's in a supermarket, a bank or the work place.

I think most of us acquire certain habits and we do not deviate from them because we don't take the time to understand why we do what we do and we just do things on autopilot. Probably your contact you are talking about just made a decision a long time ago that relationships @ work are hard and she's going to stick with that forever. Lorena Great points my dear.

We live our lives by our values. Our values are the things that are most important to us, including Otheresteem into our life, allows us to remember how important others are and how much value they add to our lives. Great Post. Great reminder. Thanks Monica. Lolly Monica,

I would agree whole heartedly. When people spend most of their time at work they experience their greatest opportunity to grow through the relationship dynamics of that community! Bravo!! Great Post!
