Mental models and beliefs: an exercise to identify yours
[EDIT February 2020: I gathered, edited, and compiled all the posts I listed below into my book ReModel, which I recommend if you prefer a more curated experience with less clicking.
Either way, I recommend doing the exercise. It gives a new way of seeing the world that costs nothing and takes little time.]
This series covers my doing my Write Your Beliefs exercise, which I’ve found one of the more valuable self-awareness exercises that my clients, my students, and I have done. It builds on the Inner Monologue exercise, which I also call “The most effective self-awareness exercise I know.”
The first entry motivates the value of this exercise, the second describes the exercise, the third and fourth describe my experience doing the exercise, and the rest describe the mental models and beliefs that came up from doing the exercise.
