Discovering Yourself. Part 1

Discovering yourself.

Have you ever asked yourself the question who am I ? If you have did you get the right answer. 

Are you the person you have always wanted to be? 

Are you doing what you makes you happy?

Are you dressing the way you want to dress?

Are you living your life?

Finding the real self is an enlightening experience . You become self-sufficient and do things for yourself for once.

Discovering yourself is not easy, but like the old adage goes "it's worth it.

Steps to follow in discovering yourself:

1. Creat your own time line.

Write down all of your major goals in your life that you want to achieve ( long and short term goals).

Write down the events in your life that have already happened that you believe have affected you. When life  hits us with problems or misfortunes it shapes our belief system and makes us think differently. But better yet, it makes us us.

Spend little time everyday writing with clarity about the past in your timeline. A timeline is an incredibly objective method for making down past occurrences in your life that you consider to be major.

You can look at Thomas formation blocks and as changing experiences along your  timeline  without imbuing them with too much emotion. Keep it real, simple condensed to the major effect or lesson learned from each past incident.

2. Distinguish your thought from the thoughts of others, for most people life is "Go to school, get a job, get married, have kids, think this and that and boom.........hope you had a good time..

Sit down with yourself , at the end of the timeline come up with a few beliefs of yours that aren't based in logic.

The society has a very convert way of handling us the "misfits" condemning the "losers" idolising the "beautiful"alienating the "strange". But here is a head up: These describing words have no basis in reality. How you feel about the world around you? Think about what you believe to be good or bad - not what anyone else has told you.

3. Stay away from people that do not encourage you. Do what you can little by little , start relying on yourself because confidence and reliance are at the heart of finding yourself because when people can't do something they tell you you can't do it. Mix up with positive people who will support and encourage you , learn to trust your own feeling. If you have been victimised  in the past confront these issues. They're not going away on their own. Start taking responsibility for budgeting, and planning for yourself about the future.

4. Organise your world, you may find that having all your other affairs in order will help expedite the process to grabbing a firm hold on your identity. Keep a clean room, do your home works, dress neat and smart. Getting everything else out of the way will clear up the part to "ME".
