Theme building involves recognizing and exploring the recurrent patterns or themes that underlie our emotions, thoughts, and actions. By paying attention to these patterns, we can gain a better understanding of our underlying beliefs, values, and motivations, which can lead to improved emotional regulation and emotional intelligence.
What we call obstacles are really the way the world and our entire experience teach us where we are stuck.

Theme building requires introspection and reflection on our experiences, identifying common threads that connect them, such as common triggers, recurring emotions, or persistent thoughts. By understanding these themes, we can achieve greater self-awareness, make more informed decisions, and develop more effective coping strategies.
