Mirroring and Maturation: Mirroring is a psychological activity where you observe yourself as if seeing your reflection, allowing you to gain self-awareness separate from your current reality. By creating this mental ‘mirror,’ you can see yourself as others might, which is a form of self-objectification. Adequate mirroring facilitates more accurate reflection on and correction of mistakes, ultimately leading to improved actions and decisions. Over time, this process helps you become more mature. Practicing self-objectification can also make others feel comfortable with you and may increase their reliance on you. This process is also known as self-reflection. Everyone has a mental mirror, but many neglect to keep it clear through regular self-examination. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Rather than building more houses to catch skyrocketing real estate prices, investing in transportation infrastructure is more effective. An office worker unable to afford London’s murderous rent moved to Barcelona, Spain, to live in a three-room house. He commuted to low-cost airline Ryanair for about £ 300 less than commuting from London (as of 2017: £ 580 house rent + £ 778 transportation fee = £ 1,358). The transportation environment changes our lives. Thoughts can’t keep up with the change. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
