How does it work?
Relatable breaks down and organizes the process of psychological growth into a high level structure.
🧠Direction — Why am I doing this?
Psychological role: Orientation, meaning, and agency.
Direction is about having an internal compass. Without it, people still act, connect, and communicate—but mostly reactively, opportunistically, or under external pressure.
This section helps a person:
- Articulate what they’re moving toward (values, intentions, priorities)
- Understand what “progress” actually means for them
- Reduce anxiety caused by vague striving or borrowed goals
Why it’s essential
- Growth without direction leads to burnout or identity drift
- Relationships without direction become performative or habitual
- Decisions without direction feel heavy and confusing
🧠Psychologically: Direction reduces cognitive load. It gives the mind a reference point, which makes choices easier and emotions more intelligible.
In short:
Direction answers “What kind of life and relationships am I trying to build?”
