One of the most important steps on your way to what you really want to be is to find yourself, with that true and pure inner being that is the one that will guide you towards your dreams. Inside you lives the person you want to be, however many times it is buried under layers of preconceptions that you have inherited from your family, from society, from the thousands of experiences that you lived through until today. It is essential for your development as a person that you dedicate time and space to bring it to light.
That is why today I bring you 4 tips that will help you, step by step, to unearth that wonderful being that lives inside you so that it can shine with its own light…
1. Get a notepad and pencil to take notes of the discoveries you make in your inner search
This will not only allow you to sketch a description of your inner being, but it will also help you to further refine your mental map towards the goals that you set for yourself.
2. Choose a time and place to do it
Make an appointment with yourself and be sure to keep it. Choose a time of day when you know you will not be interrupted and choose a place that you find relaxing. You can also include soft music in these sessions. This will allow you to delve deeper into yourself without distraction.
3. Immerse yourself for a few minutes in free writing
Just take note of all the ideas and thoughts that cross your mind at that moment. It is incredible the amount of things that can arise if we take a few moments to listen to what "lives" within us. This will give you an outline, not only of possible future plans, but of what negative habits these internal voices “speak to you” and that you probably need to change.
4. Classify the information collected in the previous point
You can do this by separating your observations / annotations into groups that can be "Future Plans", "Attitudes that I want to change", " Strengths that will help me in my plans ", etc. Create your own groups and separate the negative from the positive.
These are the four tips that will help you on the path of discovering your inner treasure. Remember that this is of utmost importance since it will allow you to see, in a new light, how each action you take has an important influence on your present and your future. You yourself are tracing the route that you are going to live with what you are doing day by day.
Do not stay without discovering the talents and strengths that live within you. I encourage you to start this journey of self-discovery today to be able to meet your dreams, desires and projects that you always wanted to undertake, and learn to intervene on your person on an emotional level so that you can face those stressful situations that threaten to deviate from Your way.
Remember that you are the protagonist of your own life and you cannot take the passenger seat in it. Take control of your life now to reach your goals. I am sure that the information you will get from this exercise will be very useful to start walking the path towards what you want to BE, DO and HAVE.
Next I will split a Zen tale, to help you start to find your strengths in you, because they are there and you must take the time to discover them!
Anxiety
Many times the aspirant proceeds regarding the truth as ignorantly as the man in this story. He didn't know sandalwood, but he had heard a lot about its excellence. Thus, a strong desire was born in him to know this kind of wood so highly weighted and so he decided to write to his best friends to ask them for a piece of that kind of wood.
In this way, he wrote numerous letters to his friends and in all of them he made the same request: "Please send me sandalwood."
And one day, suddenly, he discovered that the pencil with which he had been writing those letters for months was precisely of fragrant sandalwood. The human being seeks happiness outside him, when true and stable happiness is within him.
Ask for what you already have, look for what you have never lost.
