Pride

Family: Intention and approach

How it differs from similar states

My own achievement; an earned and realistic appreciation of myself.

How this can feel in the body

Chin raised, standing tall—your body naturally takes up more space.

It usually comes up when

A personal achievement or living up to an important standard.

What this might be pointing to

Reinforces purposeful behaviour; a social signal of success—rooted in self-evaluation.

What you can do with this

Allow yourself to fully feel your pride. Don't diminish it. What exactly did you accomplish? How does it reflect your effort and values?

Where the name comes from

Pride comes from within—it is your own recognition of your achievements and efforts.

Not quite it?

Closest by feel — the same ones the compass would show.
