In everyday life and in every experience we have we show our different faces: a comment that triggers anger, a thought that plunges us into sadness, a situation that awakens fear, a desire that fills us with shame or joy, an opportunity to manipulate through victimization, guilt or power, a circumstance that fills us with impotence, resentment, hopelessness, which is intermingled with feelings of impossibility, lack of alternatives, sometimes we give space to criticism or we find ourselves judging.

Of course, we also experience the opposites: love, tolerance, patience, affection, joy, solidarity, we see new possibilities, we feel useful, we feel that we can choose, we have hopes, illusions, dreams, suddenly a thought comes to us that makes us smile or we are presented with a situation where we save it with good humor....

In short, all emotions and feelings coexist in us with different intensities and frequencies, giving us our own characteristics that make us unique and different from others.

This is what today's exercise is about, recognizing all that dwells in us, those different faces that emerge in our daily lives, that make us who we are and that to the extent that we take responsibility for them we can put our deliberate intention to transform them or at least manage them, but not hide them, with the ultimate goal of feeling better about ourselves and others. Because as the author quoted above says:

How are we going to do it?

The exercise is simple and you set the level of depth you want to explore. Try to do it as intimately as possible, remember it is an "I with I".

Take paper and pencil

Start remembering situations, moments you have had in the last few days and write down every emotion, feeling, specific words that you said to yourself and help you define yourself.

Take them before the "I" and assume them responsibly as something that belongs to you and that tells you I am this/this. Personally it helps me a lot to describe the event to then extract the emotions and feelings. For example:

A few days ago I had an explosion of anger, no matter why, nor if it was with or without reason, the important thing is that I felt that I had a setback in my growth goals, I let myself be carried away by that feeling that clouds the understanding and that for a long time I have worked, I said accusing words like "you never", becoming a victim of a situation that makes me impotent and fills me with despair at not being able to communicate effectively with this person, however, I also felt good, satisfied to have expressed a feeling that chokes me every time I try to communicate with her, I was ashamed with myself to let myself go and not effectively manage my emotions....

From this event I can extract the following:

MY anger
My emotional recoil
My victimhood
My helplessness
My hopelessness
My contentment
My dissatisfaction
My communication
My shame
My guilt...

All this is mine, it belongs to me and makes me be me. The most important thing about this introspective work is that when I look at it on paper, I recognize myself and that gives me the entrance to continue working on my growth purposes, hierarchizing and focusing on those areas that make me leave my inner wellbeing, in order to retake, more and more easily, my so dear and appreciated balance.

I invite you to do this exercise, to explore yourself consciously and to continue growing and expanding your being.
