"The Unexamined Life is not Worth Living" - Socrates

Reading "Change Your Life in 7 Days" at the moment, and deciding to carry out some of the recommended tasks, here's the first one:

a. Your Pretend Self: Who you pretend to be

* How do you like to be seen?

b. Your Negative Self-image: Who you are afraid you are

* What's the opposite of each of the traits of your pretend self?

• hostile


• stupid


• cold


• inconsiderate


• disrespectful


• weak

* Which of your secrets will only be discovered after you die?

• I'll blog from the grave! ;^)

* Who is your least favourite person and why?

• My neighbour; forever sees faults in others yet never in herself, yet can't seem to see that this makes her quite unlikeable - in summary = false & arrogant... thinks: "I've probably been called similar by others!"

a. Your Authentic Self: Who you truly are

* Who are you when nobody's watching?

• lazy


• fidgety


• unsettled

* If you felt totally safe, what would you do differently?
