Það er svolítið töfrandi og svo gagnlegt að það færir þér eitthvað allt annað en að vera bara meðvitaður um andardráttinn. Það eru augljósir kostir við það líka, en það er bara öðruvísi. Það er annar vöðvi sem þú ert að teygja og það er gríðarlega gagnlegt í daglegu lífi.</p><h2 id="s9"> Hagnýtar ályktanir</h2><p> <strong>Cort:</strong> Einhverjar lokahugsanir? Kannski getum við lokið þessu og boðið upp á heilbrigða sjálfsskoðun fyrir árið sem er liðið, fyrir þá sem eru að horfa í lok ársins.</p><p> Ég held að þetta snúist aftur til þessara lykilþátta í heilbrigðri sjálfsskoðun, sem er að vera meðvitaður um það - að meðhöndla það sem iðkun sem þú gerir í stuttum stundum yfir daginn. Og ef þú hefur tíma til að gera það sem formlega hugleiðslu, enn betra. Og svo að næra forvitni sem drifkraftinn á bak við það - sem er í raun bara að verða forvitinn um þinn eigin huga og taka eftir því hvernig hugsanir þínar virka, taka eftir því hvernig þær móta upplifun þína. Taktu eftir því þegar þú hugsar öðruvísi um eitthvað, eins og þú tekur meðvitað annað sjónarhorn. Taktu bara eftir því sem gerist. Vertu forvitinn um það. Það verður í raun alveg heillandi þegar þú verður nemandi eigin huga á þann hátt.</p><p> <strong>Richie:</strong> Já. Og þegar maður getur virkilega nýtt sér þessa forvitni, þá verður þetta næstum því eitthvað leikrænt. Maður getur nálgast þetta með léttleika sem er mjög hjálpleg.</p><p> <strong>Richie:</strong> Nei, ég held að við höfum átt frábært samtal og ég hlakka til að heyra frá ykkur öllum um reynslu ykkar af því að fikta í þessu ferli heilbrigðrar sjálfsskoðunar.</p><p> <strong>Cort:</strong> Já. Eins. Kannski getur þetta verið kveðjuhugsun okkar fyrir þá sem horfa á þetta — sérstaklega ef þið eruð að horfa á Substack okkar, eða ef þið eruð að horfa á YouTube, getið þið jafnvel deilt því í athugasemdunum. En ég held að þetta sé tími þar sem við getum litið um öxl og bara spurt einnar einfaldrar spurningar: hvað hef ég lært á þessu ári? Hvernig hef ég vaxið á þessu ári? Og að líta um öxl og hugleiða reynsluna sem þið hafið fengið frá sjónarhóli þeirrar spurningar, og bara séð mismunandi leiðirnar sem þið hafið lært og vaxið, innsýnina sem þið hafið fengið og svo framvegis.</p><p> Kannski gætum við öll bara prófað þetta og við viljum gjarnan heyra frá ykkur. Deildu smá í athugasemdunum í spjallinu og öðru slíku — það væri mjög hvetjandi fyrir okkur að heyra frá ykkur. Við vonum að þetta gangi vel og við erum mjög forvitin að heyra hvað kemur út úr samtalinu. Þökkum ykkur öllum fyrir að taka þátt.</p><p> <strong>Ríkí:</strong> Þakka þér fyrir.</p><p> <strong>Cort:</strong> Gættu þín.</p> </div> </div> <div class="inline-share-icons"> <div class="d-flex align-items-center flex-wrap gap-2"> <span class="me-2 fw-semibold">Inspired?
