I found a passion in understanding oneself (thyself?) and trying to understand one's emotions and thoughts, distinguishing them, breaking down and then finding root case + future next steps that help people move or transition their life further.
Perhaps its philosophy or some sort of self-authoring programme that helps with inaction, tough situations and
The cause is mostly because I felt stuck for too long without not knowing what to do next. I could have gone on the script of changing jobs, cities etc. but it felt like escapism instead. It takes very deep introspection and a lot of writing to come up with reasons and feelings that help that understanding and I am still in the process, however thoroughly enjoying it!
I believe it is one of the most fundamental and important "meta-skills" these days.
- jdsleppy 4y agoHas this all been introspection, or are there external resources (like books) you used?
- kirso 4y agoOverall tonnes of reading and articles over internet. Some of them very shallow, some of them quite thoughtful. I am working on a prompt based email sequence to basically invoke some of the thoughts that are targeted at this. One external resource you can take a look at is Jordan Peterson's Self-authoring program. Otherwise, all it takes is really just 20 minutes with a blank markdown editor and type out how are you feeling today, what is bothering you and any other thoughts that you have :)
