Instead, it is a discrete and autonomous mental system that has an idiosyncratic range of emotion, style of expression, set of abilities, desires, and view of the world. [It] is as if we each contain a society of people, each of whom is at a different age and has different interests, talents, and temperaments.” [Read it here.](=)​ 👶 The Journey Back To Conscious Naturalness: "What does it mean to be truly natural, to have that quality of spontaneity we had as children? Most of us have lost access to that state and would like to have it once again, but there is no turning back now. We can only go forwards and find it in a different way."[Read it here.](​ 🧐 Epiphany A Week: 12 Rules For Life: A list of nuanced maxims to guide your actions.

It is a large, attractive park with about three million plants of more than 500 different varieties. The seasonal flowers take turns to bloom for most of the year, except winter. The spacious park covers 49 acres of land with wide paths leading through various flower fields, featuring species such as lavender, salvia, blue berries, pink moss, tulips, sunflowers and poppies. On clear days, visitors can enjoy lovely views of flowers with the Kuju Mountain Range in the backdrop." ❓ Why Personal Growth? We're looking to create the most relevant and impactful transformational experiences for our readers. For that reason, I have some [questions](=) related to your journey around personal growth that will help us a great deal in the creation of new articles, interviews, events and more.

It’s hard and lonely and it’s turning a mirror towards your scars. It’s so much more than showing your bubble bath setup and your glass of wine. It’s a hell of a lot deeper than filming your morning routine in your aesthetically pleasing bedroom. It’s facing your trauma and going to therapy. It’s learning what to do with intrusive thoughts and memories you’d rather bury. It’s ending friendships and relationships that don’t support your growth and finding a new friend in a new version of yourself. It’s nothing that can be neatly displayed in the little boxes that grace our screens. It’s finding a way to convince yourself to get up in the morning when you’d really rather not. And to close your teary eyes when you desperately need sleep. It’s looking at everything in your life — every person, every habit, every thought — putting them all under a microscope, and painstakingly assessing if they help or if they hurt you. It’s saying goodbye to the ones who do the latter. It’s letting everything that you think is ugly about yourself come to the surface. In a world that values the beautiful, and often only the beautiful, I applaud you if you’re on this journey." 🤓 Learn This Word Polychronicity is a term that describes people who prefer to work on multiple activities at the same time. Examples of polychronic behaviors include talking on the phone while driving a car and browsing the internet while sitting in meetings. Polychronicity is in contrast to those who prefer monochronicity (doing one thing at a time). The polychronic-monochronic concept was first developed by Edward Hall in 1959 in his anthropological studies of time use in different cultures. ⏳ From The Archives A hand-picked classic HighExistence article. ​[Self-Acceptance and Self-Love: An Epiphany in the Midst of Depression and Anxiety](​ I was perusing Reddit the other day and happened upon a story that I felt I needed to share. It was disarmingly real — a story of true darkness and despair, followed by a personal epiphany, a rebirth of hope, an experience of profound self-acceptance. I found the story to be moving and illuminating. It penetrated my detached-Internet-surfer mode of being and compelled me to empathize deeply with the life of a total stranger. I don’t know who /u/TheQuietudeAbides is, but I sincerely hope that the strength of their realization persists in time and proves to be permanently transformative. I’ll stop talking now and let you read the story. ​[Continue Reading](​ 🎁 The Go-Giver On Friday we'll release the latest issue of [Stairway To Wisdom](=) including a breakdown of the Go Giver: A Little Story About A Powerful Business Idea by Bob Burg and John David Mann.
