But the large-sized Labrador Retriever is still the number one breed in the U.S. Fashionable dog breeds will come and go, but the biggest dog breeds seem to have staying power (consider the Mastiff). And, though itâs hard to believe, these gigantic breeds are really as big as a horse â OK, maybe a miniature horse.
For other uses, see Introspection (disambiguation). Introspection is the examination of one's own conscious thoughts and feelings. In psychology the process of introspection relies exclusively on observation of one's mental state, while in a spiritual context it may refer to the examination of one's soul. Introspection is closely related to human self-reflection and is contrasted with external observation.
It's as though you have an eye in your mind that gives you direct access to your mental landscape, just as your real eyes give you direct access to the world of vision. Through introspection, for example, you might explore the nature of your beliefs and feelings, or why you choose one course of action over another.
