I'm trying to focus on thinking in the positive instead of in the negative... thinking of other solutions instead of just tearing up the ones other people have. That sort of stuff. And if I had fasted from critical thinking I would not have lasted an hour in my job. It's one thing to think critically of an idea or about a problem... it's something else when you apply it to people directly. I am finding that when I let myself be critical of people, I end up tearing people down and being generally mean... that is what I want to get out of my life. Blessings instead of curses...

As for being critical on yourself, I think it is something we all do and have to work on. At least I know I do. Also so you know I don't think you are overly critical, actually I think you are a great guy. I know what you are talking about, day 2 was so much harder.
