We often roam for self-discovery but we end up getting nothing. The problem is not in you but the way you do self-discovery is wrong. Few years back I was also like you, finding ways for self-discovery. I got the way because I was fortunate enough that I had my grandfather as my advisor. So I will tell the ways but first I will tell you my real life incidence attached to it.
Two years ago I was in corporate sector working like horse and thinking at night, am I doing the right thing, am I satisfied. I was confused and depressed at the same time. So I decided to take off from my work and went to my hometown where I met my grandfather. I discussed my problem of self-discovery he listened carefully and advised to follow steps like:
- Meditation
- Focus on spiritualism
- Do What You Love, this was most emphasized by him.
That day and today I have not only discovered myself but also start living my life happily. Basically we search for these things in external world but these things are present internally. Hence we need to more focus towards inner self then only we achieve ourself e.g. self-discovery. From my experience and research I will help in your journey of self-discovery so keep reading.
Practical Methods to Self-Discovery
After talking to my grandfather, I started exploring different ways to understand myself better. Here are some methods that helped me and might help you too:
- Ask Yourself Questions: like what make me happy? in what am good at? what afraid me? And make note of these answers on paper and analyze with giving proper time.
- Spend Time Alone: being alone doesn’t mean being lonely. It will give you a chance to listen to your thoughts and feelings without distractions. Go for a walk, sit in a park, or just spend a quiet evening at home.
- Try New Things: sometimes, we don’t know what we love until we try it. Take a class, learn a new skill, or explore a hobby you’ve always been curious about.
- Talk to People Who Inspire You: just like I talked to my grandfather, find people who inspire you and ask them about their journey. Their stories might give you new ideas or perspectives.
- Let go the things: if something or someone makes you feel unhappy or drained, it’s okay to let it go. Make space for things that bring you joy and peace.
- Have a peace of mind: being cool and calm is the remedy for your self-discovery.
- Avoid overthinking: because it will not only break you but also put hinderances into the path of your self-discovery.
- Love yourself and the people around you: as this will create good social bonding and help in your journey of searching yourself.
- Believe in yourself: if you have faith in yourself you will easily achieve the self realization which in turn help in self-discovery.
