A weird question to ask isn’t it? What do I mean whether you know yourself or not? Of course you do! You’re the only one who has spent every single moment of your life with you. Although , this part is true that you’ve spent quite a lot of time with yourself , how much of it did you spend actually being in the moment observing yourself? How you felt, WHY you felt that ?
It’s like carrying an encyclopedia with you everywhere you go but never actually having read anything and assuming you know the encyclopedia by heart just because it was with you .
SELF – DISCOVERY:
As a young girl when I heard someone talk about self discovery , it amused me . I thought what do you mean you have to go on a year long world trip to know “ WHO AM I?” But fortunately (woosh!) as an adult I’ve found out that taking a year off, going to the Himalayas or a major life crisis isn’t a necessity to discover myself ( although it sure does help if you need a good kickstart!).
“ Self – discovery is the process of acquiring insight into one’s own character”
-OXFORD DICTIONARY
In my terms I’ll call it as finally picking up that rusted encyclopaedia and reading every single page, one by one – only to realise what you were MISSING OUT ON until now!!
It’s not about your name, job,where you belong to, or even your likes or dislikes. It’s about your core values, your personality, emotions,subconcious mind and in my simple terms-
being able to picture your soul in your mind.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF:
The journey to self discovery is lifelong, but before diving into that topic I’d like you to ask a few questions to yourself –
1.Do I constantly seek validation from others?
( others could include a single person as well)
2.Do I often find myelf regretting my actions or decisions?
- Do I somehow feel lost or disconnected ?
4.Do I struggle to express myself creatively or emotionally?
- Am I often unable to understand the reason behind my own actions, words or emotions?
Please do yourself a favour and be honest to yourself while answering these question, take the time you need because giving time to yourself is one of the best investments you can make in your lifetime.
If answers to any of these questions is yes, then it is a clear indicator that you don’t know youself as much as you should , and NOW IS the time to start a journey that’ll be lifelong-
but trust me, you will enjoy every single moment of it more than you’ll expect.
Yup , you got it right! !!
I am about to introduce you to the world of SELF – self -discovery , awareness, love, care and everything that you need to know based on observation, personal experience, knowledge I’ve gathered and ofcourse not to flex but according to psychology ( I’m actually a psychology student , unlike those shorts with random psychology facts.)
