Reply to comment by Krogsly in The benefits of doing nothing | An overactive 'life drive' endlessly seeks expansion, inevitably leads to burnout, and drains us of the energy needed to truly progress.

self is such an interesting concept. There's self as in body, there's social self as in how you relate to others, there's emotional self as in how you feel, there's ego as in the part of your brain that gets all defensive and loves comparing, there's what budhists call true self as in nothing really at all,

This feels like it would be a good exercise to take time daily and recognize the separate "selves", how they represented throughout the day, and the feelings they cause.
