experiments
I would be running first self knowledge experiment in december. and this post is all about what side I want to know about myself. how would I collect the data. and a basic plan to get started.
so the idea is to get the very solid understanding of myself. and build a solid foundation. interestingly the more I know about myself the less I care about distraction.
some very clumsy thoughts on what I could do
- it should be around a month long experiment.
- I can start with creating a short film and explore my creative side.
- I can be physical trainer
- I can serve people may be volunteering and explore that side of mine
- I can learn to play an instrument and see does it rejoice me
- I can learn to make stuff and understand touch
- I can learn to run a business
- I can be a radio jockey and see if I could do something I fear the most
- I should study more about accelerated learning
one thing that is popping right out on my mind is fear. as a side effect this might be a great way to actually face my fear and conquer them
second important things seems like community, and how can I find one.
but how does this help me to know more about myself?
it could certain help me to know more about my creative inclination and fear. it can also help me to create more data point and give me chance to interact with more people. it can also help me to know more about what I can get good at or what matters to me.
I intuitively feel it is a right thing to do so stop justifying. stop thinking and lets just do it. I will know along the way. and may be figure out some other ways but lets just start it and just pick anyone. it really doesn’t matter which one. it will teach me something about myself and learning is the whole point here.
the key is to be in a state of mind where i could understand what the experience is trying to teach me.
