Two of the most significant elements for me were that: 1) I tended to recall positive experiences in a detached, visual way, often with a "bird's eye" view of the scene; and 2) negative experiences tended to be recalled in a much more kinaesthetic fashion. Allied to this was a background internal (auditory digital) dialogue that I had limited awareness of. I had always thought of myself as a "visual person". By gaining a greater understanding, it has helped in the practical sense of not labelling myself, but also in actively choosing to do something about it. I now make much more effort to listen to the internal voice when I want to, and shut it up when I don't; to raise my kinaesthetic awareness when I'm doing things I really enjoy; and alter my visual experience to add in pictures of what I see, as well as what the "third party" me would see from hovering above. This is clearly not a "fix", but a wonderful and exciting learning process, which enriches and contextualises great experiences so that they live and breathe, and helps me to slow down, enjoy, and soak them in.
