Editor's Notes
- Most of us only know ourselves on a surface level.Many of us can name our favorite foods, books, and shows. But we might be less inclined to have a deeper self-awareness — the kind that connects the dots between our past and present or picks up on how our emotions may be guiding our behavior. Sometimes, when life becomes particularly stressful or hectic — like it is right now — we may experience monumental transformation. Or, we might disconnect from ourselves and lose our deeper well of knowledge. Either way, you can take this as an opportunity to explore who you are today with these wide-ranging exercises.
- Gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves helps us to be responsible — or response-able — meaning we can respond to life, rather than react. Deeper introspection prevents us from drowning in difficult situations and emotions, allowing us to make wiser, more thoughtful decisions. Responding, while technically a reaction, takes into consideration the desired outcome of the interaction. A reaction may result in a positive or negative outcome whereas a response is engineered to produce a positive or negative outcome. Reacting is emotional, responding is emotional intelligence. “It is the difference between being completely consumed by stress, and having the ability to notice when we feel stressed and then course-correct to be more grounded and balanced,”
- Without even realizing it, many of us hold on to anger, grief, shame, and other emotions that come out in sometimes surprising and confusing ways. We may lash out at loved ones, driving a wedge between us. We may cling to toxic habits (and people). We may avoid taking on exciting projects, fearing failure or humiliation. Discovering and understanding buried emotions helps us get back into the driver’s seat and navigate our lives.
- Knowing ourselves also helps us create a more meaningful, satisfying life. Because when you understand your true yearnings and core values and take the time to process your emotions, you can take actions that build an authentic life. Discovering and understanding buried emotions helps us get back into the driver’s seat and navigate our lives.
- “Becoming aware of your physical self and how it responds to the world around you can give invaluable information about your deeper inner life,” says Martinsen. Why? Our bodies hold insights, too — often without our cognitive awareness, she says. According to Martinsen, any time you have a strong physical sensation, instead of reacting right away, you could pause for a moment and perhaps ask yourself these questions: What exactly am I feeling in my body? When I shift my attention to my physical self, what feelings do I notice? What was said or what happened just before my reaction? What might feel familiar from my past? What do I need and how would I like to be heard?
- Journaling, in general, is “a process of sifting through the weeds of the mind, bringing what is below the surface of our awareness up into the light,” says Hulin. Journaling also “helps us understand the narrative of the mind, and to safely and nonjudgmentally express and process thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even the most challenging ones
- Take the time to think through what is meaningful to you — and why. Your ideal day might be something that happened in the past or something you wish were to happen
- To further use your self-knowledge to build deeply satisfying days, Houghton also suggests creating two lists: one list with activities and people that recharge you and make you feel like the best version of yourself another with activities and people that drain or deplete you
- Another way to think of it? Simply sit with yourself. According to Hulin, “Meditation is about being with the truth of our experiences. It is the practice of being able to be with ourselves as exactly who, where, and how we are in that moment, without judgment.” While it isn’t easy, meditating regularly (for even just a few minutes) can normalize the practice for you and help you reap the introspective rewards.
- While it’s not exactly easy to explore negative situations or feelings, these very moments can provide a wealth of insight. When frustrating circumstances or painful feelings arise, jot down what happened and what thoughts came up, says Houghton, and ask yourself: What is this moment here to teach me? What old patterns might I be enacting? Am I letting fear or shame determine what I do? Lastly, says Houghton, “End the journal entry with one thing you’re grateful for in the situation.”
- Keep in mind that this exploration can sometimes spark painful feelings, memories, and reactions. In those moments, be gentle with yourself. Try a self-compassionate phrase. Take a walk. Talk to a trusted loved one. Sit with your feelings without judging yourself.
