Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 203

In this episode, Dr. Shaw discusses the importance of learning from observing yourself.  In order to illustrate how that works, she shares a personal story about giving parenting advice to her own daughter who reacted by resisting taking her advice.  She watched herself feel somewhat hurt and offended and then feel embarrassed and disappointed in herself for being offended.   Her principles, however, include the notion that timing is important and that patience is indeed a virtue, and she was able to re-visit the situation with her daughter later in a manner that allowed for a peaceful "agree to disagree" scenario.   It was an important lesson in perception versus reality and it was also a lesson in how self-observation can be so beneficial.  Being mindful of how we show up in the world and modeling appropriate behavior is always a winning formula.
