If you feel some tension, something is bothering you, or you just have accumulated physical and moral fatigue, then try to distract yourself a little from everyday problems and take some time for introspection. Sometimes, with the help of simple psychological techniques, you can independently find the causes of mental discomfort, solve internal problems, and relieve excessive anxiety.

defunct animal

Take a sheet of paper and quickly, without much thought, draw an animal that does not exist in nature. Put on paper whatever comes to your mind. Now carefully begin to consider every detail: his head, legs, arms, body parts, tail, horns, wings (if any).

What are they? If the head is turned right- you are focused on future plans, if to the left You are always looking back at the past. If some detail stands out too much, then in this area you have a corresponding feature.
For example, big mouth- you are talkative huge ears- the opinion of others is important to you, large head- you are a rational person, appreciate thought and deed.
Horns, claws, needles- you are trying to protect yourself from something or someone, or you have accumulated a lot of irritation and.
Feathers- you are prone to self-decoration and demonstrative behavior.
Mane, wool, similar hairstyle, pigtails- they talk about your sensuality, the desire to emphasize your gender, your sexual role.
Big, big paws- you stand firmly on your feet vital sense, guided by business and confident in the future.
If the legs are small or not, then you "flutter through life", you do not have clear plans for the future.
Wings, tentacles, long fluffy tails, luxurious mane- these are signs of “self-propagation”, you have many interests and want to participate in everything, show yourself everywhere.
Tail raised by a "pipe"- you are confident in yourself and your actions, tail down, tucked up- you doubt your actions, you are ashamed of something.

The more details in your drawing, the clearer and more colorful it is drawn, the more energy and optimism you have. When your "animal" is drawn with strokes, like a sketch, it has no body parts, the lines are weak, light - this means that you are very tired, have lost a sense of self-confidence and want to remove yourself from life's problems.

Write yourself a letter

If you are worried about any problem or situation, you cannot find a way out, form your behavior in it or attitude towards it, “write letters”. To get started, prepare five different sheets of paper: white, brown, green, yellow and blue. Of course, there may not be such sheets at hand at home, so you can use the appropriate colors of pencils or felt-tip pens, instead of white - take an ordinary black pen.

On a white sheet you should describe the situation as dryly and formally as possible, let it be like a summary of incidents in a newspaper or an investigator's protocol. For example, “such and such an event occurred on such and such a date ...”

On brown boldly describe all your negative thoughts and emotions about this - act as if you are a hopeless pessimist and whiner.

yellow page is intended for positive ones - be an inveterate optimist on it, write all the most joyful and good things from the situation, even if your revelations look like "the delirium of a madman."

On a green leaf you creatively express your problem - it can be a verse, an epigram or a drawing.

And finally the blue leaf- here you have to try on the role of a sage - draw clear and serious conclusions, try to give yourself advice and guidance. As a result, on the blue sheet there will be a solution to your problem, and the rest simply helped you look at the situation from different points of view.

Dream analysis

The world is the work of our subconscious, which, like a huge conveyor, absorbs all our daytime experiences, impressions, thoughts, processes them and gives them back in night pictures. In the plots of your dreams, you can find your true attitude to the problem and discover ways to solve it, which your unconscious has already begun to work through. Therefore, try to remember or write down dreams for last period your life (1-2 weeks). Now work with them.

Try to associate any object of your dream: a person, a situation, a situation, a place or an object. What is the very first thing that comes to your mind when you think about it, what does it look like, what is it connected with in your fantasies or, conversely, in real life? The main thing is not to try to follow the logic and not to "pull by the ears" one to the other. "Swim" freely, let your thoughts be completely absurd - the most valuable thing is that these are your thoughts and this is how your unconscious worked when it masked something important under the picture of a dream. This "free association" method, proposed by Freud, very effectively brings to the surface everything necessary to understand what our caring mind hides.

When enough dreams have accumulated (from 5-10 to infinity ...), take them apart piece by piece - like a constructor. Highlight the main, significant in your opinion or recurring: situations, characters, objects. And now carefully follow their fate, how they change in subsequent dreams, what happens to them.
If this is a person: what does he look like, how does he behave, what does he say, what is happening to him, how do you feel about him?
If it's a situation or an event, then what emotions do you experience every time, who else appears or leaves in it, how does it end?
If it is an object, setting or any place, then what events does he participate in, is there someone else constantly next to him or something that changes with time?

The recurrence of dreams indicates that the problem has not been identified or resolved, that its roots are not visible to you and lie deeper than you can see. And your task is to unravel this tangle and reach the truth. Pay attention to people and - in dreams they can personify aspects of your personality, symbolize your unfulfilled desires, reincarnating in them, you can do things that are not characteristic of you in life.

For example, you see how a lion pounces on your brother - but in fact you just took offense at him, and hidden aggression sits in you. Periodically return to your dreams, reread them, compare them, look from the point of view of new events in your life.

23-10 points. Obviously, you are dissatisfied with yourself, you are tormented by doubts and dissatisfaction with your intellect, abilities, achievements, your appearance, age, gender ... Stop! Who said that loving yourself is bad? Who inspired you that a thinking person should be constantly dissatisfied with himself? Of course, no one requires you to be self-satisfied, but you must accept yourself, respect yourself, maintain this spark in yourself.

Introspection Techniques

One of the most important things in life is the questions we ask ourselves all the time. Some of them we ask ourselves every day. You may ask yourself questions that make you feel like a victim. You can ask questions that reinforce the negativity and pessimism in your life. Or you can ask supportive questions. Questions that open up the dormant and unknown power of positivity and opportunity.

1. What is surprising about this situation?

This good way learn from experiences that may be perceived as negative. Or re-evaluate the situation and create positivity and enthusiasm within yourself in order to practically manage it, instead of following the model of defiance negative emotions, Victim Thinking. At first glance, this may seem silly. You may not find anything positive and surprising in the situation.

But once you start asking yourself this question every time you have a situation like this, you might learn to find something good in every situation. And the more positive and surprising you begin to find in your experience, the more your consciousness will begin to accept the fact that you find the good in any situation. Your mind will slowly start to get used to thinking in this new way.

2. What can I give in this situation?

This is a good way to improve your relationships and interactions. What can I give to another person in this situation? It can be anything - listen to him, teach him to have a positive attitude towards the situation, cheer up and calm him down, give valuable advice.

3. Should I always be right or happy?

The word "right" in this question means "the need to judge, evaluate and be right in relation to other people. It's about the fact that you don't always have to be against people or things. You don't have to exist in a "me against the world" space. You don't have to defend yourself and build enclosing walls. You will be able to get rid of the thought like “someday I will show them all!”

You can relax and be with people, not against them. Thinking you're right can give you some satisfaction. But behind this there is much more happiness and positive. I love asking myself this question when I feel like I should be right. When I need to get rid of internal garbage. Or when I think I need to rethink my beliefs in order to move forward.

4. Is it useful?

This question is a bit similar to the previous one. This is a good way to get rid of not quite useful habits. For example, your mind can make you angry about something, justifying it with the fact that you are right. Or make you worry about some problem because you are unlucky and unlucky. Both thought patterns are quite seductive because they give the feeling that you are doing the normal and right thing. But are these thoughts useful to you? No. They create misery in your life, waste your time, and do little to help you practically solve the problem. By asking this question, you can stop thinking negatively and turn to the positive again.

5. Am I taking things too seriously?

This is a good question for lowering your stress levels, in order to feel better and act better in a situation where you are pushing yourself too hard. It takes the extra seriousness and weight of the burden of the situation off your shoulders. And makes life easier.

6. Will it matter in 5 years?

This question is very closely related to the previous one. It will help put the situation in perspective. And it will probably turn any difficulty that seems important to you now into something simple and ordinary in a few days, months. You may suddenly find that you have given the problem more importance than it really deserves. These two questions will help you look at everything in your life from a perspective perspective.

7.What is the most important thing I can do right now?

If you can't decide what to do next, ask yourself this question. The answer may not always be the one you would like to hear, because the most important thing is often one of the hardest things you have to do too. But it will help you prioritize and not drown in a pile of worries and work.

8. Is what I'm doing the right thing to do?

One of the hardest things in life is doing the right thing. What you think is correct. Not what your friends, neighbors, colleagues, boss, society think. What is right is up to you. Often an inner voice tells you that you are doing everything right. Or it could be intuition.

Below are three reasons to do the right thing.
-You will get what you give. By doing the right thing, you will strive to get it back.
-Raise your self-esteem. This is really important. When you don't do the right thing, you not only send signals to the world, which answers you the same, but you also send signals inside yourself. And you will feel bad.
- Avoid self-sabotage. By doing the right things, you will feel like a person who deserves respect and success.

9. Am I in the present moment?

This question is easy and helps you get back to the present quickly if you are wandering into the past or the future. And this question helps to spend as much time as possible in the present. Because:

Improves social skills, creativity, you appreciate your world more, reduces stress, less worries and negative thinking, openness.

If I find myself not in the present, I take a deep breath and concentrate on my breath for a minute. Or for a minute I concentrate on my surroundings.

10. Am I distant from results?

If you play sports, or write a novel, or prepare a speech, you can really create obstacles for yourself by being highly dependent on the result. For example, while playing on the court, either you do not depend on the result and remain calm and play well and correctly or you are addicted - and then you get nervous and become clumsy, you are simply not able to play. For me personally, this is important when I write a blog post, if I thought all the time whether readers would like the post or not, I would completely block the work process in order to prevent a possible negative reaction from readers.

11. What excuses do I have?

There are always excuses. Perhaps something from the past is holding you back, perhaps it's a health condition or an economic situation. Not always, but often, these things serve as an excuse for you to stay where you are because you want to avoid the potential pain and discomfort associated with stepping out of your comfort zone. This question may not be very pleasant, but it will help you show how you are deceiving yourself and will help you grow.

And reveal their brightest side. If you want to spend the next five to ten minutes with interest, then proceed to the tasks.

Test one: dark forest

Prepare for the test. Get out of your head extra thoughts, focus on breathing, relax. The first part of the test is very important, it is like meditation, because your imagination must be at its maximum. You need complete silence and solitude. Do not read the transcript of your ideas about the situation that we will now describe.

YOU are walking down the road. Try to imagine this road in every detail. What is around you, what is in the distance, what is on the sides, what is behind. Suddenly, you realize that you are walking near a dark forest, in which the trees grow so densely that absolutely nothing can be seen. The road ends. Now you can only go left or right. You choose a side. Now you are in the forest. You walk carefully around the trees, listening for every sound. You move forward for a while until you come to a small clearing.

In this clearing appears wild animal. You get scared, but suddenly you notice that there is also a magical door in the clearing, which should lead to a quiet and peaceful place. Now you have to make a choice - either move very slowly and stealthily and try to remain unnoticed, or run or go to the door with a decisive step. You grab the door handle and try to open it.

This story doesn't have a reasonable ending, so you need to stop on that note. So what do we get. Try to remember a few important points. Each of them is very important.

1. First, remember what time of day you had.

• if it was dark night then you are a consistent person, you have developed logic;
• if you had twilight, then you are very creative nature;
• if you imagined a day, then you are very creative in your endeavors and like to solve everything through trial and error.

2. What was around the road? This will show what your communication is, how developed it is.

• a deserted place means that you are inclined to communicate, you are not used to limiting yourself;
• if there are a lot of objects around you, then you lack communication, love, friendship.

3. Which way did you go?

• if you went to the left side, then you are a person with developed mathematical abilities;
• choosing right side, you are more likely to like art than numbers. You are a sensual person.

4. Now let's see how big you think. What size was the field?

• a large clearing indicates that you know how to think broadly and quickly find a way out of any situation;
• a small clearing indicates the isolation of your thinking. You rarely notice important details.

5. Was Dicky the beast big or small?

• little beast means that you are an optimistic and self-confident person;
• The Big Beast indicates that you are a pessimist or a realist, but see problems as much more difficult than they really are. You love to exaggerate.

6. Obviously, moving towards the door signifies your courage. Everything is predictable here. You either go around problems or take risks.

7. Where did the door appear?

• if she was to your left, then you need to think about the pressing problems in life;
• if it was in the middle, then you should plan more for the future, and not leave everything for later;
• if the door is on the right, then you need to think about spiritual troubles. You are worried about love troubles.

8. What kind of handle did your door have?

• A round pen means your desire for diplomacy. You like to solve problems in such a way that everyone wins. You don't want to offend anyone;
• a flat handle that moves up or down is an indicator of a selfish person. Your actions are aimed at personal gain, you are a purposeful person, but in life you have problems because of this.

Test two: round room

Imagine that you are in a perfectly round room. Imagine everything down to the smallest detail. So far, you only have a door leading to this perfectly round room. You are inside. Now you will need to slowly fill the room with things. Before that, imagine that you are there, you feel absolutely everything. There are no windows in the room yet, nothing. You are standing. Your senses are heightened. Remember this moment.

Now a window appears in the room, through which you can see what is outside the room. Now you've been here long enough and you're finally going to leave. Approach the door. Open it. You are outside.

Test answers:

1. Was there light in your room when there was no window yet?

• If it was, it means that your life is aimed at creating favorable conditions for your existence. You don't wait, you act.
• If not, then you prefer to adapt to external conditions environment. For example, until you need new knowledge, you will not receive it. Until you have a sharp need for something, you will be inside your comfort zone.

2. What color was your room when the lights turned on?

• Dark - you are wise and generous. You listen to the advice of others.
• Light - you are an open person, but selfish. Prefer to learn from mistakes.

3. Where was the door in relation to you?

• Side or front located doors are chosen by those who are used to solving their problems themselves. You know what you want, when you want and why you want. Most likely, you have a specific goal in life.
• If the door was behind you, then this indicates that you prefer not to see your problems. You like to go with the flow, you like a carefree life.

4. How many things did you imagine?

• If your room has become saturated with furniture, then you want more. You are ambitious in life and constantly work on yourself.
• If your room is still empty, then you are used to being content with what you have. You are a humble person by nature.

5. Where did the window appear?

• If it appeared on the left, then you will know the world through the experience of others, the study of other people's mistakes.
• If it appeared on the right, then the empirical path is closer to you, that is, the trial and error method. You yourself are trying to follow some path, without requiring anyone's help.

6. What is outside the room?

• If there is a city outside the window, then you are sociable and always strive for new acquaintances. You feel good in a team, in a company.
• If there is nature outside the window, then you love solitude. You do not trust people, even close ones. You are an introvert.
• If there was nothing outside the window, then you are a closed person. This isolation is to your detriment.

7. In which direction does the door open?

• If the door opens inward, then you are looking for the causes of your problems only in yourself, you are self-critical, do not shy away from difficulties.
• If the door opened in the opposite direction from you, then difficulties constantly enter your life. You have a mess in your life, but you like it. Everything suits you. This ambiguity provokes you to move forward.

These two tests are compiled by experienced psychologists. With high precision, they help you understand your weaknesses and strengths. These tests will help you ask the right questions to yourself, help. Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

Questions for introspection

Questions for introspection

The value of video feedback lies not only in what we observe ourselves, but also in the comprehension of what we see. This can be done on your own, with colleagues or a personal mentor.

Here are some questions a mentor can ask, developed by our friend and colleague, psychiatrist Dr. Norman Paul. He has been using videotape for years to get feedback, to show his clients their hidden emotions and to teach them a more realistic self-perception.

What would you notice when watching the video again if you looked at yourself as an outsider? How different are you from him?

If you look at yourself knowing that it is you, which family member do you remind yourself of? What do you like and dislike about the person you see in the video?

How is this person behaving?

If you had to act as a mentor (coach) to this person, what advice would you give him?

These questions allow the people recorded on video to push back their protective barriers and analyze their own behavior from the position of an outside observer. This will help them recognize their family stereotypes and see that they have led them to false and destructive beliefs.

For the case when the video is recording the interaction of two team members, we have come up with additional questions that help analyze the conversation, conflict or meeting.

What surprised you the most about what you saw in yourself? What surprised you the most about others?

What problems did you notice in the interaction of these people? What is missing in their relationship?

What do you think they are trying to say to each other? What don't they agree on? What would each of them like to hear?

What advice would you give them?

What feelings do they each have that they don't talk about directly? Self defense? Anger? Shame? Guilt? Pain?

What words or actions of other people could provoke such an emotional reaction?

What should each of them be responsible for in their fellowship? In their relationship in general?

What do each of these people really want from their relationship?

How does each of them contribute to the development of their relationship or conflict?

What issues were not raised in their conversation, but which should have been discussed?

What do these people need in order to get along together?

What would you like to hear from another person?

What would you like the other person to acknowledge or accept?

These questions allow groups and collectives to create a more realistic image of themselves and their relationships and determine how each of them contributes to the development of these relations and undermines them, while not exalting themselves or belittling others. Thanks to them, participants can build the kind of relationship they want with each other and act strategically, considering their own selves.

Chekhov wrote: "A person can become better only when you show him what he is." The ideas of men and women about themselves turn out to be not only untrue, but also easily changeable, malleable, they are easy to adapt to reality with the help of self-awareness, experience, reflection, desire and desire to be themselves. Feedback allows us to see through videotape that we can change the behavior of our colleagues and their perceptions of us if we change our own attitude to this, our words and behavior, paying attention to what we do not talk about openly.

Feedback, then, is a set of questions that we all need to answer for ourselves. Simply put, this is a way to wake yourself up and develop your self-awareness, while remaining true to yourself, harmony and responsibility for your work. Feedback enhances our ability to see ourselves as others see us and helps us become ourselves.

Personal growth begins with introspection. Ask yourself these 50 questions and answer them, so you will understand what is preventing you from achieving your goals in life. Every year we make promises and are full of hope to change our lives. Most of these plans are shelved or forgotten before we even finish celebrating.
