Self-observation is the observation of one’s own behavior, especially one’s own emotions.
Do you catch up on this concept? Are you willing to challenge yourself and see how much can you change in the process?
Become witnesses to your actions by learning to impartially observe your emotions from the outside and not allow them to make decisions instead of your reason. It’s something like:
“Oh, look, I’m feeling scared!”, “Ouch, it seems like I’m getting angry!”, “But I seem like a fool!” or
“It looks like I got offended – but that’s foolish!” and so on. Self-observation is like watching a play in which the main character is yourself. This way, you realize that emotions are expressions of your artistic behavior, a desire to show the audience what you’re feeling. It’s clear that when you’re angry, you’re unlikely to stop being angry in the moment to analyze yourself. Do it afterward. Realize whether you were right or not. In both cases, apologize and calmly explain your point of view. This way, even after a short practice, you’ll notice that your character has changed, and you’ve come closer to realistic self-assessment.
