One can do for one self is lead by example, Life is made up of the experience we tell ourselves about our life in our mind.
It is the kind of narrative or story that you are telling to yourself when we think about our life. The story or narrative, the talking voice in the head is the ego, The ego likes to make us believe that the whole world is watching and that everyone cares what were doing, but in reality Do they? most likely not.
So the idea is to focus on one thing that you want to do with your time and energy and just be really present with it. everything that I think or believe about reality is not true, is a misconception made by my ego, So how do we arrive at what is true? through the study of epistemology in Philosophy. Epistemology is the theory of knowledge, especially in regards to its method, validity. and scope. epistemology is the investigation that distinguishes justified belief from opinion.
We have an Objective Mind where obtain facts from. Then we have a Subjective mind where obtain opinions from.
We use the 5 subjective senses of reality what we see, smell, taste, hear, and touch, to collect information from the Objective Mind and we use this information to form a schematic memory or a representation of a plan or theory in the form of an outline or model. we represent the the external world to ourselves using different schemas such as personal schema relating to specific individuals, social schemas include general knowledge like how people are supposed to behave in social settings, self schemas are focused on you and what knowledge you hold about yourself, event schemas are focused on patterns of behavior that should be followed for events, this acts like a script for informing us of what we should do, how we should act and what we should be.
The Objective mind uses the memories to form a subjective picture that we represent to our mind in the pursuit of things that we believe will bring us pleasure. In reality will they? Really I think the only way is to try some new activity or action in your life and see how it fits into the figure your trying to make. For me its about expansion and realizing a greater context of meaning to my overall picture of life. More Empathy.
