For some, living at or visiting the beach can be a time for reflection. I call it “introspection”; a time for quiet exploration of your true feelings, wants and needs. When clients present to me with stress or frustration, I often suggest they keep a journal. It’s one of the hardest things to motivate somebody to do, yet once done, everyone tells me that it’s enlightening and effective.

A journal isn’t a diary. It’s an exercise in thinking, expression and examination. There’s nothing like putting pen to paper to instill a sense of optimism about your aspirations. Seeing something on paper makes it more real than merely thinking it.

It all comes down to living the examined life. We live in an age of insipid acronyms like LOL and OMG, superficial sound bites, half-baked ideas and televised misinformation that generates not-fully-thought-out emotions. It’s the mental equivalent of eating only fast food. Everybody’s capable of deeper thinking, and everybody has a need to be reflective. In fact, a lot of the symptoms we’ve labeled as attention deficit disorder, depression, anxiety and substance abuse are the result of not living an examined life.

Want to give it a try? Consider these sample questions for your journal: “What emotions do I feel right now?” “What percentage of today did I experience each of the following: anger, sadness, irritation, joy, contentment, anxiety, disappointment, frustration?” “Which people or situations stand out most about today?” “What attitudes did I exhibit today? Was I pessimistic, cautious, gloomy, upbeat, energetic, lethargic? Which of these was I aware of that nobody else was aware of?” “What issues did I resolve today?” “What attitude do I wish to project tomorrow?” “Did I feel like a victim today? Could I have made different choices to feel less like that?” “Would my ideal hero operate like I did today? If not, what would he or she do differently?”

These are just a few examples to get you started. Use your personal experiences to generate your own personal approach. Regular readers of this column know that I encourage introspection as a way to solve just about any emotional conflict. To introspect means to live the examined life; to apply focus, thought and awareness to the emotions you’re experiencing. By looking at yourself objectively (i.e., the way you would look at a stranger or an acquaintance), you can correct contradictions in your thinking before they lead to more serious problems.

Contradictions can lurk in the shadows of your emotions, and if you’re not in the habit of looking closely at them, the result can be faulty decision-making and all the turmoil that comes with it. Keeping a regular journal can give you that insight. By writing down your feelings and examining them objectively, you can determine if you’re expecting contradictory things.

Of course there are always the expected responses: “I don’t have the time. It’s not worth the effort.” (People say the same thing about therapy, counseling and self-reflection in general.) Well, at least that’s honest. But think about it from this angle: Do you really have the time for unexplained depression, unexpressed anger and frustration? Are you OK with feeling like a victim and whining about how you “had a bad day?” Slowly and insidiously, these things sap your energy and well-being. Isn’t life too short to put up with all that unnecessary emotional clutter? Don’t you have better things to do?

If I’ve learned anything in my 35+ years of counseling people, it’s that most emotional difficulties can be avoided by leading an examined life and keeping tabs on your feelings. And a journal can be an effective pre-emptive strike against problems that can make your life less enjoyable than it could be. Why not start now?
The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.
Ayn Rand
Why is patriotism thought to be blind loyalty to the government and the politicians who run it, rather than loyalty to the principles of liberty and support for the people? Real patriotism is a willingness to challenge the government when it’s wrong.

Ron Paul
The moral is the chosen, not the forced; the understood, not the obeyed. The moral is the rational, and reason accepts no commandments.
Ayn Rand
Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency.
Natalie Goldberg
The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God’s children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil.

He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.

Thomas Paine
The harder I worked, the luckier I got.
Paula Deen
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.
Henry Ford
Rationality is the recognition of the fact that existence exists, that nothing can alter the truth and nothing can take precedence over that act of perceiving it, which is thinking…
Ayn Rand
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
Thomas Jefferson
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?
Ayn Rand
Because I place my trust in reason, I place it in the individual.
Bernard Baruch
Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn.
Ben Franklin
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

Bernard Baruch
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.

Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.
Ayn Rand
You’ve got to think about big things while you’re doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.
Alvin Toffler

H.L. Mencken
Understanding is a kind of ecstasy.

Love is the expression of one’s values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another.
Ayn Rand
It doesn’t take a majority to make a rebellion; it takes only a few determined leaders and a sound cause.
H.L. Mencken
Man can learn nothing unless he proceeds from the known to the unknown.

The Constitution shall never be construed… to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.
Samuel Adams
I always get what I want because I always want what I get.

Ayn Rand
The man who lets a leader prescribe his course is a wreck being towed to the scrap heap.
Ayn Rand

Marcus Aurelius
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

Joel A. Barker
Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly.
Ludwig von Mises
We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.

By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail.

The greatest gift that I have is finding people who know more than I do — and learning from them.

The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away.
Ronald Reagan
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.
Thomas Jefferson
When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.
Ben Franklin
I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in the world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.

Mikhail Bakunin
To argue with a man who has renounced his reason is like giving medicine to the dead.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.
Ayn Rand
It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.

Mikhail Bakunin
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.
Orville Wright
In those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in those parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue.

The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.
Ayn Rand
Reason obeys itself; and Ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.

Ayn Rand

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.
