Hello everybody, I'm Gemma Spake and welcome back to The Psychology of Your 20s, the podcast where we talk through the biggest changes, moments and transitions of our 20s and what they mean for our psychology. Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. Welcome back to the podcast. It is great to have you here for another episode.
Today, let's talk about how we are going to get our personalities back. How are we going to reclaim who we are from the forces of scrolling and overconsumption and comparison and distraction? I have come to a pretty scary realization over the past month that although I may think I know who I am, I rarely actually act out the parts of myself that I most enjoy or that I pride myself on.

Chapter 2: Why do many people feel disconnected from their true selves?
A truck doesn't have a personality. A lawnmower, a typewriter doesn't have a personality unless we, as humans, the sentient creatures, apply it onto them. So how can you expect yourself to Do you have a personality? How can you expect yourself to know who you are if you act like a machine? If your daily life is get up, plug in, commute, water, eat, operate, in, out, produce, go home, turn off.
That's really what like the daily like daily life is trying to push us into becoming or is evolving. incidentally pushing us into becoming, you have to act out against that. There was a recent paper I read about burnout due to monotony, not just excess work. That was so fascinating. You know, we typically think of burnout as just having too much on your plate. plate, having too much going on.
Essentially what this paper is saying that actually making your life too simplistic and having too much routine can be psychologically harmful and can become actually quite exhausting and destructive. Routine can be really protective only up to a point when there is no room for soul, when there is no room for deviation from your routine and That's why we end up losing ourselves.
So your soul needs, I need you to add them back into your life. I need you to sprinkle them back into your life like your childhood activities. I also will say this is probably the quickest tip of all on this list. Fulfill one soul need a day for a month. Hit as many categories as you can. And I promise money back guarantee right here. You will be feeling honestly brand new.
You will be feeling better than ever. People will notice the difference in you. They will see something shining out of you that they haven't seen for a while or that you haven't seen or felt for a while either. Okay. We are going to take a short break here before we return for our next three tips. So stay with us. Every January, we're encouraged to start over.
But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding? and knowing that it's okay to ask for help. I'm Mike Della Rocha, host of Sacred Lessons.

Chapter 3: How can we rediscover our lost personality?
But does it make you feel alive if you have nothing else going on in your life? Does it make you feel connected to who you are? Let's be honest. not all the time. We get that laser focus and everything else fades away and so what happens? What happens when things, when that thing isn't satisfying anymore? What happens when you get fired?
What happens when you want to change, when the main focus drops off? You're kind of left with like a bit of a wasteland.
You're left contemplating who you are and life feels very narrow because it's almost like, this is going to be a weird metaphor, it's almost like you've put these glasses on that narrow your focus and then you take them off and you expect your eye to suddenly be able to see what's out on the periphery and what's out all around just by not giving it the opportunity to for many, many years and
Now that I'm saying it sounds like a stupid analogy, but that's just how I see it in my mind. You're literally blinding yourself to everything else by not giving your eyes or your vision or your personality the opportunity to explore. That's why I need you to be collecting these side quests. Consider it personality insurance.
If the things you typically base your personality on, work, relationships, accolades, praise, passion, if those things fade... They become exhausting.
This way you'll still know who you are and you'll still be able to connect with the deeper part of you because you're expressing yourself elsewhere in a way that feels meaningful, in a way that doesn't feel tied to anything to do with your career or work or those kind of things of importance. It's just something you're doing and want to give a red hot go.
Actually, I had this as a fifth tip, this next one, but I think it may come under this one. So I'm just going to include it here. My fifth tip was going to be, kind of still is, to start journaling, specifically commit to a year of junk journaling. Talk about life-changing micro habits. This one is it. I started junk journaling recently after my friend Sally recommended it to me.
She's the most beautiful woman on the planet of this earth. She's just like remarkable. And I had this conversation with her middle of last year where I was like,
sally like i don't know who i am anymore i don't know who i am without my phone i don't know who i am without work all i want to do is work or be on my phone work or be on my phone like i don't find myself interested or interesting anymore and she was like you got to get one of these junk journals that everybody on instagram has been talking about like you've got to get just a journal and just collect literal trash and i was like
