Self Awareness by Recording Your Actions

Life Lessons

In my head, I thought I was doing one thing. Once I wrote down what I did and reflected on it, I realized if I saw someone else do what I did, I would think something very different from what I thought I was doing.

This is because when I think about what I do, I remember the intent of each individual action, so of course that’s why the actions make sense to me–I did them. When others look at me, they don’t know my intent, so they try to figure out what I meant. Others view all my actions holistically to decide what to think. So their perception and judgment can drastically differ from my intent if I’m not actively conscious of how I am presenting myself overall.

Recognizing Denial

Human Nature

If you or someone else is passionately trying to convince the other of something, consider seriously if the real person they are trying to persuade is themselves. 

Sometimes you are trying to convince others when the real person you’re trying to convince is yourself.

Sometimes someone else is trying to convince you when the real person they’re trying to convince is themselves.
