- real time operating system (response mechanism) ### Questions - how do emotions and feelings impact decision making? - is this a guide for understanding who you are and why you do what you do and why you feel the way you feel? - is being easy to talk to a value or personality trait - how do heuristics paly into this? are they different than beliefs? ### Component Interaction interconnected system with feedback ```mermaid graph TD B[Beliefs] V[Values] E[Experiences] Bh[Behaviors] A[Actions] Bh-->|control| A B -->|shape| V V -->|guide| Bh A -->|create| E E -->|reinforce/challenge| B B -->|interpret| E classDef color fill:#000,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px class B,V,E,Bh,A color ``` ### Components - Philosophy: systematic understanding of beliefs and values - Beliefs: Foundational assumptions - shape interpretation - propositions about reality - means to interpret experience - External Beliefs: causality expectations, human nature, how the world works - human nature: people are fundamentally - effort: hard work leads to success - Internal Beliefs: Your self-concept, I am capable of, I am worth, and my identity is - I am dumb - Values: Desired states or qualities, guide behavior, bridge beliefs into action - formed from interpreting experience, belief systems, cultural context, personal reflection - examples: peace, growth, connection - Virtues: Character traits we aspire to embody (honesty, courage, wisdom) - Principles: Rules for action based on values and virtues ("Always tell the truth") - Mindset: context-activated belief systems, framework for `interpreting` experience - Organized patterns of interpretation and response - example: scarcity mindset = there's not enough, humans are not generous, competition is cut throat - Behavior: Expression of inner framework - Reinforce or challenge beliefs through feedback - become automated(habits) or remain conscious decisions - be Internal (thoughts, feelings, internal dialogue) or External: actions, speech, gesture - Experiences: interaction between external events and internal processing - External event: a stimuli from outside the self - Internal interpretation: how you make sense of the stimuli - Opportunities for conscious reinterpretation ### Coaching Implementation help another understand themselves and make changes - Start by examining their worldview and beliefs - Help them identify their core values - Develop supportive mindsets - Create aligned behaviors entry points for personal development - Top-down: Examine/adjust beliefs - Bottom-up: Change behaviors and let experiences reshape beliefs - Middle-out: Developing new values that bridge between beliefs and behaviors ### Goals - Working with rather than against core traits - Using consciousness strategically to facilitate growth - Building systems that support natural tendencies while promoting development #### More Stable Personality Elements - Basic Temperament Dispositions - Baseline emotional reactivity - Sensory processing sensitivity - Introversion/extraversion tendencies - **Cognitive Processing Patterns** - Information processing speed - Working memory capacity - Attention span characteristics - Sensory processing preferences - **Core Personality Dimensions** - Basic [[big 5 personality traits]] distributions - [[attachment patterns]] - [[stress response]] tendencies - emotional regulation capacity ###
