self-management
people that are engaged in "self-management" are usually approaching it from one of 2 perspectives:
a more data-driven approach, concerned with things such as biohacking/neurohacking, health metrics/performance metrics, that usually applies behavioral psychology practices/tools such as CBT, wim hof's modality of breathwork, and a few other mindfulness practices. (+ there's a growing body of research on compassion, inner development goals and initiatives such as 29k, superbetter, etc)...
- more spiritual / therapeutic
managing one's emotional states and inner parts (a more psycho-spiritual/therapeutic approach), using tools such as internal family systems, parts work, inner engineering, shadow work, trauma, energy work, psychedelics/entheogens and other psychotechnologies.
while some of this latter kind of work can be quite problematic and diving into "woo" territory, there's a lot of value in experiencing them for yourself, and a lot of interesting research coming out of it as well.
when i refer to self-management, i aim to recognize the complementarity of them and do both. :)
integral theory shows that distinction/complementarity through the framework of the four quadrants (applied/shown below), which says that each of these is focusing on a different dimension of reality. (individual exterior vs individual interior) - and so integral provides a great foundation to build upon and do both inner/outer tracking + presents fantastic distinctions on self-development, namely the AQAL framework - quadrants, states, stages, types, lines.
hanzi freinacht also has great distinctions which can be powerfully applied, conceptualizing human development as a sum of cognitive development, cultural code, overall state and existential depth.
a good introduction to this broader perspective of self-management:
