Observer Self

There is a part of each individual called the "observer self", that allows you to simply observe your behavior and interactions with others AND without judgment relate your observations.  Without ego, this self can give an accurate report of the day's events.
At the end of each day, take time to record the most significant events, the ones that impacted you emotionally.  Many events will have occurred during the day, but it is only those that your were emotionally charged about that will seem important.
To begin with, choose the one carrying the most energy.  As you record the situation, don't edit - simply allow the full expression.  After you have reported the "facts", allow yourself to shift to your "observer self".  Now once again, replay the day's events, but this time it is as if you are in the locker room watching a replay - you are separate from the "you" on the screen.  Note your observations about the event and "your reactions".  From this vantage point you may become aware of information that may be helpful.  For truly, there is no information more vital than that about yourself!
