Today we focus on enhancing personal growth through three pillars:
1) Developing self-awareness by managing reactions to stimuli and evaluating self-talk using Stephen Covey/Viktor Frankl principles
2) Releasing negative patterns through physical movement and micro-dosed wellness practices
3) Implementing accessible self-care actions tied to neurotransmitter release and stress reduction.
Start by focusing on your relationship with yourself. Responsibility is framed as the 'ability to respond,' emphasizing personal agency in managing reactions to external stimuli.
Create space between stimulus and response to evaluate internal reactions and shift beliefs or focus. Inspired by Stephen Covey and Viktor Frankl's work.
Evaluate self-talk using a three-step framework: identify what works, what needs improvement, and what harmful patterns to eliminate (analogous to radio 'air checking').
