“And all of our days we are learning things-learning how to appraise them, how to assess them, how to feel about them.” Milton Erickson
When we watch an event unfold before our eyes, we tend to automatically appraise the event based on our background experiences. How much value we put into the event depends upon how personal it is. After it’s been filter through, we know how we feel about the event based on our background experiences. Sometimes our perception gets distorted because our filters are too narrow. Learning to appraise, assess and feel about things really tells something about us. It tells us what are likes or dislikes. It tells us what’s important to us. It tells us how we’re feeling. When we begin learn these things about ourselves, we can expand our perception, if we wish.
