Often overlooked and undervalued is the process of articulating what is happening and what happened to you through your experience. By naming the elements of what you're experiencing to yourself and others, you're better able to make choices about what directions you want to move toward. Plus, there's great value in sharing what your experience is versus what other people might be experiencing. Because we all have different focuses in our lives, the things you observe may not be perceived by others. This alone can deepen experiences for others.
Sometimes, life can give you experiences that challenge you. When that happens, finding the words to explain to yourself and others what's happening can help you understand what's important to you. Whether or not people agree with you is not the important part of this process. What's important is that you know what's true for you.
