Plus one for the importance of this.
Some things that I found very valuable to learn more about:
- Being more aware (present) of your thoughts and emotions.
- Ability to get de-attached from an emotional situation.
- Ability to tame the brain's obsessive thoughts.
- How our bias affects our reality.
- Separating what can be controlled from what is outside ones control.
Journaling has been extremely helpful to learn more about oneself and reflect. It is also fun to have a more detailed reference for a normal day you had 10 years ago.
P.S: Any book recommendations about the topic?
- kfreds 6y agoWow, that does sound fun. I don't keep a daily journal but I have kept track of my goals, visions, main priorities and associated strategic plans for over 10 years. It is by no means a complete anthology, but it is fun to reflect that far back and see how much has changed. You are probably already aware, but what you describe bears many similarities to mindfulness, Buddhistic philosophy, and Stoicism. From a neurological perspective I personally focus on quality sleep, exercise, and fasting as a way to increase neuroplasticity to speed up adaptation. On that note, it's amazing how feedback and adaptation seems to reoccur on most abstraction levels of reality.
