In our lives, different sources of information have a very strong influence on us. Some of them are:

### Television, the internet, cinema, books

They teach us how to live, how to dream, what our ideals are for a man (woman), how to love, how to get in touch, give us ready ideals of behavior, beauty, height.

We constantly perceive the information from outside, which we believe and believe to be right. Then, if we do not get all these idealizations, we suffer, sad or express our claims to life and reality.

### Our personal experience

We want to develop, we have our vision of things, and if we do not get along our plan, we are grieving. And we are not looking for the reasons in our way of thinking. We usually focus on our stumbling blocks, problems, and claims, rather than feeling joy and satisfaction from future success, to behave as winners. We identify our own abilities, and at the slightest failure we shrink and get tortured.

And what is the point of all these external sources of information if we do not apply them properly in our lives?

We need to take the time to observe and analyze ourselves - what is our value system, what we do not think we can, what we hold the most, where the sources of our negative emotions and experiences come from and why This is happening.

What we need to know about ourselves, what to let go, where to go or continue. Why do we meet people who do not share our values ​​and seem to have an opposite view of us, and so the negative experiences emerge?

A good way of self-observation is to keep a daily diary. It is only time for me, my world and my personal experiences. What made me happy in the day, what made me sad. On the one hand, we come to some awareness of ourselves, on the other hand - we do not accumulate negative emotions, and we pour them on the leaves outside of us.

In just 30 days, writing in our diary every day, we can get an idea of ​​what values ​​we hold so much about, which beliefs are ours and which are suggested externally. In a month, if we were honest with ourselves, we can see where we went from, what we've been through, and how much we've achieved.

Choosing a beautiful diary, pleasant for the senses, makes us open it every day (best evening) and record everything that has excited us over the past day - pleasant or not so pleasant. It needs to be done with enthusiasm, love, not mechanical writing, and the mind wandering elsewhere.

Finally, we end with words of gratitude - to this day, to the lessons of the day, to ourselves.

### Much love - Krisii
