A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Do not forget you are like the rest of the world, and faulty yourself in a great many instances: that though you may forbear from some errors, it is not for want of inclination, and that nothing but cowardice, vanity, or some such base principle hinders you from sinning.
 
[καὶ αὐτὸς πολλὰ ἁμαρτάνεις καὶ ἄλλος τοιοῦτος εἷ: καὶ εἴ τινων δὲ ἁμαρτημάτων ἀπέχῃ, ἀλλὰ τήν γε ἕξιν ἐποιστικὴν ἔχεις, εἰ καὶ διὰ δειλίαν ἢ δοξοκοπίαν ἢ τοιοῦτό τι κακὸν ἀπέχῃ τῶν ὁμοίων ἁμαρτημάτων.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Collier/Zimmern (1887)]

Anxious Perfectionism 7/10
EC perfectionism is different—rooted in harsh self-judgment, fear of criticism, and difficulty feeling satisfied even after success. A deeply vulnerable pattern. 🧩

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

The man who underestimates himself is perpetually being surprised by success, whereas the man who overestimates himself is just as often surprised by failure. The former kind of surprise is pleasant, the latter unpleasant. It is therefore wise to be not unduly conceited, though also not too modest to be enterprising.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 2, ch. 10 “Is Happiness Still Possible?” (1930)

Thou never wast so good as thou shouldest be; if thou does not strive to be better. And thou never wilt be better, if thou doest not fear to grow worse.

The Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale reveals insights into how people perceive their lives.

Those rating life at 7 or higher are thriving, while those at 4 or below are considered suffering.

#SelfEvaluation #Psychology

I know I just saw someone else dealing with this recently, but does anyone have any guidance on how one should respond to self evaluations? My system just started them and I don't know how to optimally respond. It's not tied to wages or (supposedly) punishment, so I don't know why the fuck we have to, but here we are.

Judgement: What Does The Judgement Card Mean?

When The Judgement card appears in a Tarot reading, it’s time to reflect, awaken, and embrace transformation. The Judgement card is the ultimate symbol of rebirth, self-evaluation, and the call to align with your higher purpose. Depicted as an angel blowing a trumpet while figures rise from their graves, this card represents a moment of reckoning,… https://tarotsway.com/2025/03/04/judgement/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Tarot #JudgementCard #Transformation #SpiritualAwakening #SelfEvaluation

#NaomiKlein’s #Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World is a polymathic work that serves up new #political heuristics with the firepower we’ve come to expect from the coiner of “disaster #capitalism.” A Dante-spiral through our circles of cultural hell, it’s also a memoir of #demoralization, #selfevaluation, and persistent hope.

Every year where I work, we fill out #SelfEvaluation forms rating ourselves in all the standard areas from below expectations to exceeds and whatever. I generally try to rate myself as meets, though I do like to think that I exceed in some areas.

It's not like our raises depend on these things. (They don't, because we don't really get them.... Sigh) This year I decided to look through more of the "auto type" fill out options - and if I really were honest with myself, I have always rated myself too low.

Evidently my manager(s) think the same as well. Had the "go over the performance eval" meeting today, and while - again - it has no current bearing on pay, it's a strong assist should we ever actually get merit pay..... Because I'm an #ExceedsExpectations at my job!

There is nothing more satisfying than being told by your manager that they can definitely tell when you're out, and miss having you there.

#today was a good day.

Really struggling with the work self evaluation this time around. Honestly, my mental health hasn't been the greatest. I've kept on top of work ok, but I'm swinging wildly between "I suck, I've made a million small mistakes" and "I did what I was supposed to do and it was decent work and I didn't cry and honestly I feel like that exceeds expectations these days leave me alone." Somehow, neither of these feel appropriate to put down for HR.

Self evaluation really feels like a particular torture when your mental health is not the most stable. It's hard for this not to send me into a spiral of self loathing that I'm pretty sure isn't accurate, but I don't know what actually IS accurate, and of course I'm motivated to make my work sound as good as possible while not being embarrassingly unrealistic, and I don't understand what HR finds valuable about this exercise.

#work #SelfEvaluation #MentalHealth

Just finished my #work #SelfEvaluation just under the wire. One thing I did this year that REALLY helped is put together a Google doc where I dropped in a few brief notes every month about key things I had done, and included times people said particularly nice things about my work. When I reviewed the document, I had completely forgotten a bunch of the things I'd done earlier in the year, so it was hugely helpful. Thanks, past me! Definitely doing that again for 2023.

Can we agree that end of year self-evaluations suck?
