Understanding the Deeper Self: Why Did I Do That?

About this event

🤔 Have You Ever Looked Back at Something You Did and Asked, “Why Did I Do That?” Join us for a fascinating dive into the murky waters of TRULY knowing, accepting, and evaluating ourselves—our actions, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. 🧠✨ Self-recognition begins early in life, developing into a reflective sense of self that influences self-conscious emotions, perspective-taking, and our understanding of others. Yet as adults, we may still find ourselves behaving differently when experiencing heightened emotions, stress, or anger—and wondering why. Our experiences, relationships, cultural influences, and subconscious patterns can all play a part in shaping these reactive states. During this 90-minute reflective exploration, we’ll examine the journey from basic self-awareness toward a deeper understanding of our emotions, strengths, weaknesses, aspirations, and behaviours—opening the door to greater self-acceptance, emotional awareness, and self-understanding. 🌱 📅 Join us on Sunday, 6th September 2026, for “Understanding the Deeper Self: Why Did I Do That?” with Jay Wessels, Cert. of Electrical Engineering, BaVT, NLP Master Practitioner, as we explore the influences behind our thoughts, emotions, actions, and behaviours and discover what deeper self-understanding can reveal about who we are. 🔍 Key Points/Takeaways for the Audience: 🧠 Explore what it means to TRULY know and understand yourself 🔎 Examine the connection between self-recognition, self-awareness, and behaviour 💭 Reflect on why we sometimes act differently during heightened emotional or angry states 🧩 Consider how experiences, relationships, and cultural influences can shape our reactions 🌊 Explore reactive and subconsciously initiated behaviours ❤️ Develop a deeper appreciation of self-acceptance and emotional awareness 🌱 Reflect on your emotions, strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations as part of your personal growth ✨ Additional Key Points/Takeaways/Benefits: 👉 Gain greater awareness of the possible influences behind your thoughts and actions 👉 Recognise patterns that may contribute to automatic or emotional reactions 👉 Create space between reaction and conscious response 👉 Develop greater curiosity about your own behaviour rather than simply judging it 👉 Strengthen your ability to reflect on your internal experiences 👉 Build a more nuanced understanding of yourself and others 👉 Walk away with questions and insights that can support continued self-discovery, personal development, and self-acceptance 🌿 👤 About the Speaker Jay Wessels brings over 36 years of teaching experience, beginning in technical education and evolving into human development and coaching.
