Courage Grows With You

...See more Recently, I have been thinking about the meaning of courage and how it relates differently to different stages of life. The IDG course defines courage as,  "Ability to stand up for values, make decisions, take decisive action and if need be, challenge and disrupt existing structures and views." In pondering this definition, I started to think about how courage looks at varying stages of our lives. When we are young, we may confront playground bullies because they are mean to our friends. I am in my twenties now, and having courage looks very different now than it did at any of my previous life stages. For example, In my teen years, my ability to control my self-expression through how many ear piercings I got was worthy of me standing to my parents. However, now, I need to utilize most of my courage in advocating for my continuing education by putting my best foot forward and applying for master's programs, even though it scares me. What I valued in every stage of my life were and are equally impactful and vital to me. However, now, I see things through the lens of someone older and with more life experience and a better idea of what I want in my future. To summarize, the concept of courage stays the same, but our perception of the world and our values change; thus, what we must be courageous about also changes.  Now, my question to you is: How has your courage changed? Can you think of an example of how you have grown your courage or what you find worthy of courage?

My Journey Relearning The Meaning of Self Awareness
IDG 7 Cups Community Hub / by fruityCherry7666

...See more One idea that struck me in the Inner Development Goals training was the idea that self-awareness is multifaceted and multifunctional. Before I started this course, I was under the impression that self-awareness meant knowing yourself on a basic level, like understanding why you would do certain things or react in a specific way when facing confrontation, but that was about it. There was nothing more you could do with the things that self-awareness shows you. I thought of the idea and skill of being self-aware as a helpful insight but not a functional tool used for major self-growth.  Self-awareness being the foundation for better self-regulation is a basic idea in hindsight, but before this training, I had not thought that the two were connected. It makes perfect sense now that I have learned that these two skills rely on each other. Of course, I must know myself to be able to regulate. How would I know what helps me regulate if I don’t know what “makes me tick”?  After mulling over the idea that self-regulation relies on self-awareness, I have started to build a “tool kit” of things that could grow both skills in tandem. Some of my ideas are meditation, mindful self-care, and journaling with my nightly cup of tea. I plan to watch how I feel when I do these activities to understand my self-regulation better, and I hope that grows my self-awareness!  Now, my question is, what do you do for self-awareness and self-regulation? Do you practice both of these skills in tandem like me or separately? Why or why not?
