Document Summary
? - write down 10 things that describe who you are. Classic exercise done on research on the self. It is part of understanding what self theory is about. Story: went to grocery store, standing in line and people in front of you are slow so you look around and get distracted. I grabbed a chocolate bar, and saw a rack of magazines with newspapers- national inquire had a title saying baby born w/2. Look in the mirror again and think what kind of person am i- why am i buying this magazine, that does not fit with who i am or who i want to be. It really demonstrates the impact that our ability to think about ourselves has on our life, thoughts and behaviour. We can reflect on who we are and who we want to be and feel emotions in response to that: And motivations as we want to be certain types of people.
