Do you want to embark in a journey for you to develop yourself and know more about yourself? This is the right post for you!
There is literally 3 months to finish the year and in these last 3 months, we can do many things to become the best version of ourselves. However, that does not come without self-analysis and time with ourselves to understand with CLARITY where we are and where we want to go. This only happens when we ask deep questions to ourselves.
When we ask questions, we are able to open different doors, acquire different visions, new perspectives, and consequently, the new life we are looking for. Looking within and finding the right answer to our questions will allow us to be in the right framework to focus on what we want with sincerity.
Asking myself those questions and answering them with honesty truly allows me to start over, which is something all of us CAN!
How do you get to know yourself?
The answer is exactly the same way that we get to know people; When we want to know someone, we talk with them, spend time with them, ask mini-questions, and after a while feel confident in asking deeper questions… we have to do the same when getting to know ourselves. We have so many things to do, and are busy with so many responsibilities, that sometimes we do for others what we don’t do for ourselves.
But, SPENDING TIME WITH OURSELVES IS ESSENTIAL!
Have your answers recorded in a book (or notion online for those that like to type); Sometimes we think we know the answer to the question we are asking, however, when we write things down, more thoughts and more ideas come to mind, and what we knew, we end up finding out we didn’t know that well. Believe me, this happens to me all the time!
Having this in mind, we can separate time to write. Either 10 minutes in the morning, at night, or at whatever time is convenient to you.
You can pick a question for the week, or you can make it a daily habit and by the end of the month, you will be able to see how much you know about yourself.
