Introspection, Pre-Introspect

Here is my understanding of introspection prior to reading Introspect. Image sourced from a gif by Dual Void Anima.

Introspection is curiosity about oneself.

It is not narcissism.

You understand the self to live the life the self desires.

Then you can frame things according to whether or not they help to actualize such a life.

If it does not help, what parts of you keep it in your life?

If it would help, but it is not in your life, why not?

These questions don't have to be answered.

You can simply observe yourself making changes.
