This week TMI Tuesday takes its cue from the world of psychology and sociology, which both deal with behavior.
1. Catharsis - What behavior or activity do you do to achieve catharsis.
Is Catharsis something one does? I hadn't realized. Well, sailing is a stiff breeze certainly can blow the tension and nervousness away. You can't call it up on demand though. In general, I'd say I smother issues, rather than exploding.
2. Self-affirmations was made famous by Saturday Night Live character Stuart Smalley (now Senator Al Franken): “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and gosh-darn it, people like me.” What self-affirmation do you say/or should you say to yourself?
I'm pretty much right there with Stuart Smalley. And, I apply "What an idiot!" to them what annoy me.
3. “I knew it all along.” What did you know all along?
Almost everything. Especially about Obamacare. (I'm a supporter.)
4. Daydreaming. About whom or what was your last daydream?
It's hard to separate daydreams from fantasies. In either case, they tend to situations where I instruct others about the errors of their ways.
5. We all have fears. What fear (real or improbable) have you taken steps against to protect yourself.
I fear my private thoughts becoming public. Somewhat ironic for TMI, isn't it?
6. Relationship churning–How many on-again off-again relationships have you been in? Why would you say you that you repeat this behavior?
How many? None.
Bonus: Self-monitoring is the ability to both observe (or measure) and evaluate one’s behavior. It is an important component in human behavior that aids one to measure their behavioral outcomes against a set of standards. What sort of self-monitoring do you do on a regular basis?
I weigh myself once or twice a year without fail.
