Self discovery

Ever have those moments when right after something happens, a lightbulb goes off? Whether you learn not to do that again or became more aware of yourself? This, my dear, is the process of evolving as a person and part of your self-discovery.

Events are constantly cycling…our career changes, new relationships, arguments, joy, loss, and so is self-discovery! It’s important to set time for ’self discovery’ because YOU are your best investment. I wanted to share this article piece of DailyOm with you:

DailyOM article:

“Inherent to our being born is that we are here to observe, learn, and grow. Accompanying this is a built-in guarantee that there will be mistakes and misadventures along the way. And while it is only natural that we may sometimes become overwhelmed, especially when the lessons keep coming, it is important to remember that learning to understand yourself and your world is an ongoing and active process where the journey is more important than the destination. Every lesson is intended so you can become more of who you are. And as you grow through this self-discovery, you begin to create your own instruction manual. The “how’s” and “why’s” are yours to discover, and part of the beauty of being alive is that these rules are always changing.”

My self-discovery: Though this process is on-going, every year about 1-2 times, I consciously stop my tracks to reset for healthy reflection. I think about:

What makes me happy
How I have evolved
What do I need to take away to be more complete
My priorities: How I want to spend my time
What I want to do to develop myself even more
Re-identify my goals and passions

What was the most recent thing you discovered about yourself?

Vanae’s tip of the dae: “Discover yourself and embrace your life’s lessons, and your instruction manual will create itself.” (shared by DailyOM)

I realized that all the advice that I get about how to be a player isn’t really for me. I am happy being myself.

i discovered that i actually love people. i always told myself i wasn’t a people person, but it was just an excuse to hide myself from the world. i am learning to put myself out there more, but it’s so hard… i hate feeling so vulnerable.
