My list.
I believe that each individual should create their own list of behaviour, words or action that makes them feel like the person they want to be.
It’s the same idea as people going to religious institutions and follow a set a rules. They go weekly (chronically) to a place where they expose themselves to ideas that influence the way they think and act. In this case, following someone else ideas is not a bad thing, but I’d like to push this idea to the next level.
The environment around us is constantly changing. What you see, hear, taste, touch, talk to, read and more influence your action and your perception of things around you. It can positively affect you or be detrimental to your growth.
I’ve read and experience several similar ideas that all converge into this one:
People need a “reference” where they can go back. Refill their energy and “reset” their mind to a state they like in order to continue.
I think life is about expressing the true “You” inside of you, but because of the environment dynamics you can be influence in a way that pulls you away from what you really want to do.
What I’d like to propose is for you to try and create a list of ideas that makes you the “you” that you want to be. After every “x” amount of time when you feel like you have lost yourself because of the influence around you, you can read those ideas again and bring yourself back.
