Hi, my name is Jean and I’m going to discuss with you what it means to have a centered self.

What is a centered self? It’s a state of harmony: mind, body, and soul. This is not an easy reality to attain or maintain. Being centered requires hard work. It requires acknowledging all facets of you, the good parts and the less good parts.

The definition of self is: a person’s essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action. So, what is introspection? It’s the examination or observation of one’s own mental and emotional state. Reflexive action is an involuntary, unplanned sequence or action, and a nearly instantaneous response to a stimulus.

Your SELF is YOU, in the moment, recognizing your mental and emotional processes. The key here is recognizing your mental and emotional processes IN THE MOMENT! No considering, pondering, or thinking—just responding in the moment.

Next week we’ll explore some techniques to identify who you really are.
