Journaling Series: 2nd Log

Shadow: Imagine you are someone’s shadow for a day. Who would i like to shadow for a day?

The pure concept of shadowing someone is really not that hard or far as it may seem we probably do it every day, I mean you probably know what your family members are doing right now, or your best friend and likewise with you, Your best friend also knows what you are doing maybe not by the minute but close enough to it. So the question you are all probably asking yourselves is; who is that person that I want to shadow beside the people I already know.

 I asked myself the same question and came up with an answer that surprised me. The person I would like to shadow for a day is Myself, yes you read right, and no I am not self centered hear me out then do what you want.

Most of the time we for instance react to a certain situation in a certain way which basically was wrong, we wish we could take it back but from my humble experience my clock doesn’t turn backwards, That’s why I want to shadow myself.

As a person who has an eye for details, I enjoy giving critiques to people or objects, not to shame them of course but to highlight the good parts and shed some light on the parts that I found needing some improvements, Thus this resulted in my desire to follow myself.

I want to see myself from outside how I behave, what are my thoughts, my reactions towards certain people and actions, In total I believe that I would find some interesting things as well as discover new things about myself.

Basically I want to meet me, to me that thought is very interesting. Imagine meeting yourselves, would you like that person, what would you change? .

    It's definitely not self-centered at all. There were numerous times I wanted to shadow myself too, Not because I wanted to see myself, but because seeing myself from an outside perspective, gives you the ability to solve problems more rationally and effectively. I have been in situation where I reacted spontaneously because of my emotions. If however, I had seen the bigger perspective such as the times when I thought back on that memory, I would have done differently.

Day 1: Self Discovery Challenge

Day 1: what do I want to achieve in my life and how can I make it happen?  Achievement, that’s a big word most of it is full of failure and setbacks, take Edison for an example he failed 99 times till he succeeded it took him 99 times of failure to achieve his goal. So what do I want to achieve in my life, well let’s just say that on my 99th time I want to not give up and do that 100 time so that I can achieve what I want if I ever was meant to achieve it. We mustn’t forget that it’s about the journey not just the destination, yes, sometimes you don’t get to arrive to that place you wanted to reach and after mourning for that the lessons we learned become much more valuable to us than that view we most coveted. Well okay, how can I rise on my 99th time? It takes a lot to achieve something at first, you are full of energy and enthusiasm, then after the first bump in the road you say it’s fine every hero needs a few pebbles to make it worth his while and in the back of your...

Day 4: self discovery challenge

Day 4: I am proud of myself because… That is a question that I would consider very personal to me and I might not be as deliberate as I always am but I am going to give it a try. Proud a word that has been increasing in its wealth and also in its capacity, one of the hardest things is to be proud of Yourself. You can be proud of your nationality, your team, your friend, your family members or all of them at once, but once that question is propelled towards you, you begin to think and travel through moments of your life; which of those I am proud myself for doing for saying or maybe for not doing or not saying; being proud doesn’t necessarily have to be related with actions, sometimes it could appear in personal psychological triumphs maybe getting over a hard time in your life or facing yourself with its bad habits or unacceptable properties, we are all flawed in the most different of ways, but it’s how we deal with ourselves that defines how proud we are at least to me it is. ...

Day 3: self discovery challenge

Day 3: what is my ultimate career goal? A career goal, it is basically how I would like my life to be shaped career wise or at least that is what I think, but for a 20 year old women and for people in general not to be a racist such words put an immense amount of pressure on us. It is easy when you are 6 years old and your siblings ask you what do you want to be, you either choose a doctor like your mother or an engineer like your father simply because you have only been exposed to these specific positions or career choices and even their titles are way too generic; For example what type of a doctor do you want to be?. However, you can’t ask a 6 year old that they will just stare at you so you wait until they are older say 16, 17, 18 you start asking expecting a direct detailed answer with a plan on how this person is going to achieve it, but isn’t that a bit unfair; for starters why should anyone have to decide what they want to do for the rest of their lives only when they di...
