Feedback Thoughts

Quote about feedback said by Bill Gates
from feedback padlet

The first article I read was Rewire your self-critical brain, talks about practicing REBS (reality-based self-congratulations) to win the fight against our critical brains. The author states how we feel stressed, depressed or failure when we encounter setbacks that ruin our plans or at least we think they are ruined, however, if we use REBS we see the setbacks as small blips in our plans and keep moving forward. To me, the article is more about congratulating ourselves for our small victories and taking it to step by step in order to achieve our big goal. Celebrating our small victories also help upkeep motivated to continue our journey and the setback won't seem as big. I hope I can practice REBS more in my life as I always get stressed when a setback happens. The second article I read was Why it's so hard to hear negative feedback because honestly I always feel tensed and nervous when I go to receive feedback afraid of anything negative. However, the article really touched on how important negative feedback is when of course it is given in a constructive way. Without negative feedback we would never be able to grow and improve, When giving it to others we have to take into account that the person most likely worked very hard on their project and not give it negative feedback just because it is not of our taste but instead look for this that can help them improve their project for the better and can even compliment the person in what you like about it.

City view of Guanajuato, Mexico Taken by me  Hello everyone!! My name is Monica Avila, I was born in Guanajuato, Mexico and moved to the U.S. when I was five, I can speak Spanish, English and a little bit of Portuguese (currently learning). I am a senior here at OU (Wow can't believe I'm saying senior time flies by so fast). I am a Health and Exercise Science major. I'll be graduating this spring, my plans so far are to take a year off and work and travel a little maybe go for masters in health promotion but I'm still not sure yet. In the future, I hope to go to grad school for physical therapy and work with either the elderly or children. I love science and learning about the human body. The way the human body works and manages to keep us alive is so amazing, learning all the mechanics of it is one of my favorite parts of my major. Therefore, some of my favorite classes have been Human Anatomy and Exercise Physiology. Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, B...

From Beaches to Mountains.. Favorite Places

         Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, a  picture I took from my trip in 2016)   I traveled to Rio in the summer of 2016. It was my first time to fly outside of the country, I love learning about different cultures and places, so you can say I was super excited! Ipanema Beach was less than a 10-minute walk from the hostel I was staying in. I always have lived in landlocked states so this was the first time I got to see the ocean and it was AMAZING! As I sat listening to the waves I could also see children playing in the water, families having picnics, ongoing volleyball games, couples on dates, people doing yoga and capoeira (an Afro-Brazilian martial art) classes, people running, jogging and surfing, stands selling coconut water (Delicious), other drinks and types of foods, it was like getting a small glimpse of Rio's citizens' daily lives. One of my favorite parts was looking at the sunrises and sunsets. Ipanema Beach...
