Discover Your Essence Level 2 – The Human Response.

Written and illustrated by Julia. Griffith

A gentle exploration of the ways you respond to life, helping you notice the patterns, reactions and habits that shape your everyday experience.

Inside, you’ll be guided to look more closely at your emotional responses, automatic reactions and learned behaviours, creating space to understand where they come from and how they affect the choices you make.

This is Level 2 of the Discover Your Essence series and is designed to be worked through slowly, at your own pace, with space to reflect, write and return to whenever you need.

A note from Author

When I began researching human emotions, I never imagined that my personal journey of discovery would grow into a series of books.

Discover Your Essence: Level 1 – The Human Experience was about beginning to understand ourselves, exploring our emotions and recognising the experiences that help shape who we are.

But as my research continued, another question kept coming to mind.  Once we begin to understand what we’re feeling, what do we actually do with that understanding?

And that is where Level 2 – The Human Response begins.

Our emotions are a natural part of being human but the way we respond to them can have an enormous influence on our relationships, decisions and everyday lives.

Sometimes our reactions are almost automatic.  We respond out of habit, past experience or simply because we’ve never stopped to consider that there might be another way.

I wanted this book to explore that fascinating space between what we feel and how we choose to respond.

Like Level 1, this isn’t a book that tells you how you should live your life.  It’s an invitation to become a little more curious about yourself, to recognise patterns in your responses and perhaps discover opportunities to make changes that feel right for you.

I recommend reading the introduction first, as it explains how to use the book.  After that, you’re welcome to dip in and out of the sections that feel most relevant to your own experiences.

Take your time with the reflective exercises and use the space provided to record your thoughts and observations.  Looking back over what you’ve written may help you recognise changes in your understanding and responses as your journey progresses.

There are no right or wrong answers.  We’re all learning, growing and responding to life in our own individual ways.

My hope is that this second level helps you realise that although we cannot always choose what happens around us, we can begin to understand our reactions and explore how we might respond differently.

Because sometimes a small change in the way we respond can make a remarkable difference to the way we experience life.
