Here are some inner dimensions that are part of growing as a human being.
- State: how good you feel, ranging from depression to euphoria
- Depth: how much experience you have in different States. Kind of life wisdom
- Complexity: general intelligence, how complex thoughts, patterns and tasks can you understand
- Symbols: knowledge, language, stuff you learn, mathematics, music
You can develop in all these. I got these four from metamodern ideas. Personally, I would add a fifth:
5. Awareness: how present you are, how well you perceive stimuli, inner and external
How can I train these different dimensions?
- Take care of your physical and mental health.
- Be brave, take on life experience, say yes, honestly, to life
- Challenge yourself, apply your mind and body to difficult problems
- Read, discuss, and learn about topics that are stimulating for you.
- Mindfulness practice or meditation, learn to notice and radically accept reality as it is in this moment. Needs daily practice in my experience.
Thanks for reading.
