Everyday of your life is an opportunity for self discovery. Your interactions with others, your emotions, your likes and dislikes are all instances in which you can look deeper into your life. It’s been said that throughout our lives we go through stages lasting seven years each. With each stage, we encounter different challenges and pivotal moments. We are continuously evolving, developing, and discovering ourselves.
By becoming more aware of yourself, you’ll understand why you react to certain situations the way you do and which circumstances work best for you. You’ll understand what makes you an individual and figure out the best direction to take in life.
Steps to Self Discovery
People are Your Mirrors
We are attracted to others who have similar traits that we possess. Similarly, we are turned off by those who possess traits we dislike in ourselves. If you find yourself clashing with somebody, reflect as to what specifically turns you off. Are you irritated by a co-worker who constantly victimizes himself? Do you have that trait? Are you always the victim?
Your Friends Are Guides to Self Discovery
Why are they your friends? What do you like about them? They must have similar traits that you possess. Be aware that some qualities you all share may not be the healthiest. Some friends get along because their bonding time includes talking negatively about others. Other friends wallow in self pity. Be self aware.
Meditate
Set aside a time to do a meditation to ask your higher self for guidance. Connecting to the higher self is different for each individual. Your higher self is the all knowing part of you. When you’re aligned with your higher self you’ll feel happier and as if things are flowing properly.
Using methods I’ve learned from Theta Healing, I travel up to the 7th plane of existence. I center myself, and in my mind I travel above the universe, and travel higher and higher until I feel my brainwaves slowing down to Theta brainwaves. There I ask to connect to my higher self. I get responses and answers to questions I wouldn’t normally receive when my mind is busy with everyday activity.
Live Mindfully
Allow your mind to be free. Don’t connect two thoughts and appreciate the silent moments in between. When your mind is free of chatter, you’ll receive enlightening messages and thoughts.
Reflect on Yourself
What are your likes and dislikes? What makes you happy and what hurts you in life? Why is this so? You may take offense to certain things because you have a hidden belief it’s true of you. Work on the way you see yourself and things you believe about yourself, but most importantly love yourself.
