Self-discovery should be an important goal for everyone. Some people go through their lives playing a role to mask who they really are and others simply become what others want them to be. 

What is self-discovery?

It is a process of learning more about yourself and who you are as a person. For example, it is like going to therapy or meditating, allowing yourself to have time to consider your strengths, your weakness and your options.

This is where we need to determining the kind of negativity you are around and measuring just how much you are around it. Sometimes this negativity can suck us right in and puts us in a state of mind where we forget about ourselves. We forge who we really are and we forget to stay strong and make our own decisions.

People tend to get so caught up with negativity and then they start to listen to other people telling them about how they want them to be or need to be. If you continue to be surrounded with this type of negative and controlling vibe you will never know who you really are.

This is why self-discovery is important.  To know who you are..

I was bullied every single day of my life. I was surrounded by so much negativity I didn’t know who I was anymore… 

I was becoming someone that I wasn’t, I wasn’t being my own person, I wasn’t making decisions for myself, I was allowing other people to tell me how I should be. Bullies can take over your life without you even knowing it and they will continue to make you feel worthless and rob you of the opportunity to know yourself.

It was time to find out who I am and that is what I did…So how do we self – discover?

When we take time out for ourselves, away from the negativity, we allow our brains and our souls to discover things about ourselves. The very first thing I teach my clients is – to ask yourself this questions

Write it down…

‘Who am I’?

What are your core VALUES

What is it you LIKE about yourself

What do you LIKE about life

What do you feel you are CONFIDENT at

What are you PASSIONATE about

REALLY take this time to really find out about yourself.

Another best thing to do is be quiet, be in that moment of total silence and take the time to

be totally still…

If you don’t like to read, take some time every day and learn to read a book – you will discover just how helpful they are. You can find many wonderful books that will capture your attention, and you will just want to read it all.

Spend time in the nature it is a fantastic experience and allows you to be calm.  You can tune into the different sounds that each birds make; you might even see something unusual. I have found that it is a great way to discover positive things about yourself.

It is important to take this time for yourself to help you find out who you really are, and learning to make your OWN decisions. It is okay to consider other people’s honest advice, but then make your own decisions about how you move forward – you will know how you feel about it and the best person to listen to is yourself.

This may be hard for some people to do at first.  It was for me at first because I wanted to discover myself but I didn’t know how.

When I finally took the time to find myself and my inner voice, I was able to consider another person’s honest advice but then make my own decisions based on how I feel good about it.

And,

Listen to your hopes

Listen to your dreams

Have a vision of what it would feel like being YOU.

YOU have the POWER to be YOU.

No one has the power to take you away from yourself unless you allow them to. It is a beautiful thing to know who you really are, enjoy getting to know YOU.
