Feedback Thoughts

Why rejection hurts so much - and what to do about it, written by Guy Winch. This article provides good insight on why we instinctively feel so bad about rejection. It turns out, rejection is a response in our body that is related to the pain receptors in our brain. Getting rejected from your tribe or island could've been a death sentence back then, so it made sense for our feelings of rejection to feel like actual pain sometimes. Being hard on oneself is good, but this article points out how more times than not, a person usually overly-criticizes themselves, which can be harmful. Doing things as easy as making a short list about what you're good at or important for can make you feel better.

A fixed mindset could be holding you back - here's how to change it, written by Anna Kelsey-Sugg. This is a theory I've heard of a lot in life, because I believe it is something that should be taken seriously. Fixed mindsets seem to be a problem for a lot of people in this era of technology, because whatever your opinion is, you can probably find an article out there saying the way you do something is the right thing. Everyone feels like they should be right, and sometimes people are way too stubborn to realize that. Even I fall victim to this a lot and need to be reminded or told by others that I should open up more sometimes. It's a problem we all probably have to some degree, because change isn't something we are comfortable with, so we fight for the way we know a certain thing as hard as we can. I believe an open mindset can really lead to greater collective thinking, but there will always be greed and stubbornness to make things more difficult.

I’ve been a sooner fan since I was born, because my Dad attended the university, so I was raised around the culture. One could say that I was brainwashed to go here, but I truly do love the school, from the academics, to the campus, to the sports. I am 21 years old, and I am from Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb just north of Dallas. There, I was raised by my mother and father with my two sisters. I am the middle child, and also the only boy, so it was quite the experience growing up with my siblings.              My major is Health Exercise Science. I did not initially come to OU with that as my plan, but after my first semester, I realized that natural sciences and exercise physiology interested me way more than any business degree. I believe the best part about my major is that it can allow me to help others once I graduate,...

Week 3 Story: The Great Rock

Image
            There once was a kingdom of monkeys that lived deep within the jungle. This was The Kingdom of Vihren, where monkeys from all over the planet traveled to behold the magnificent land. The King of Virhen was a noble monkey named Jakook.                          One day, Jakook decided he would offer a test of strength for monkeys from all over the world to come try, in order to find a suitor for his monkey daughter, Sina. In front of the kingdom gates laid an enormous rock. This rock had been there for thousands of years, and it had never moved. Jakook declared that any monkey that could lift the rock could have Sina’s hand in marriage.             Monkeys from all over the lands came, including big powerful apes. However, none could move this rock. Then one mor...
