Alliterative life-themes, perhaps to ponder and improve:
- Anger - Argue - Attack - Avoid - ...
- Analyze * Assess * Advise * Act * ...
- Accept + Admit + Affirm + Allow + ...
Expansions
- negatives
- Anger — emotional, irrational rejection
- Argue — clashing, contrary close-mindedness
- Attack — hurtful, pushing antipathy
- Avoid — retreating, distant isolation
- maybes
- Analyze — gather, organize, and dissect
- Assess — compare, rate, and rank
- Advise — suggest, critique, and counsel
- Act — decide, and do
- positives
- Accept — open to what is
- Admit — own one's own mistakes
- Affirm — applaud others' ideas
- Allow — permit despite disagreement
Challenges
- recognizing when these occur (especially in oneself!)
- reducing the negatives, rewarding the positives, and remembering to employ the maybes when (and only when!) appropriate
- refining and restructuring the list — possibly via poetic or physical instantiations?
