Self-Exploration Part 1

What is self-exploration? It is a process of dialogue between ‘who you are” and “what you really want to be like. “ It is a process of focusing attention on our self, our present beliefs, and the aspirations of what we might really want ourselves to look like when successful. The idea that we must determine what makes us a success is never easy for intelligent people. People do not worry about the same things as you and me. They are not deep enough to have a problem with these questions about who they are.

What is the meaning of self-exploration? Let us further break this down. Developing a sense of who you are inside your head is important for adults, and this is a serious issue. It is necessary for most adults to think about it at least several times during their adult life. Who are you? What drives you? What do you value?

You are smart. You are talented. Unfortunately, this is the easiest way to become a human. Self-exploration is the practice of observing one’s own thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and motivations. Asking WHY will guide you to answer these deeper questions about the self. It takes time to answer these questions. The difficult part is that if you know the answers today, you may not know the same answers as the true tomorrow. These perceptions of self tend to change according to circumstances, perceived wants, and needs, the people we are surrounded by in daily life, as well as in the fact that humans can change their minds easily and on a second’s notice.

The purpose of self-exploration is to allow you to accept yourself as YOU. No one else on Earth will have the same answers to these questions, including your twin ( if you have one )! Self-exploration helps a person understand and accept who they are and why they do what they do and think what they think. Your lives will improve as your self-esteem improves. Being on a mission to discover oneself helps with relationships with others as well as in finding inner peace within yourself.

As there are no one right answers to the following questions, you will need to ask yourself these questions over time or when you need to make big life decisions.

What worries me the most about the future?

What am I really afraid of?

Do I use my time in a way that makes me proud of myself?

Are my thoughts healthy from a mental health perspective? If not, how can I start changing a little bit at a time?

Am I letting matters out of my control stress me?

If I have to say that one thing is more important to me than others, what is that one thing? Why?

Do I trust myself? If not, what will it look like when I trust myself?” If you do not know this, you will not know when you get there.

What is worse: Failing or never trying?

How can I be kinder to me? When kind to ourselves, we are much more capable of accepting flaws and confusion.
