SELF-DISCOVERY

Self-discovery is a process of getting to understand who one is.

A lot of people know their names, but not a lot of people know who they truly are. This is due to being told what to do from the moment they were born.

Don't eat that, sleep like this, look like this...Instructions on who to become from a lot of outside forces and never from oneself.

It is easy to get lost in the person everyone but you has built. Getting lost will lead to many psychological and behavioural issues like depression, anxiety, antisocial behaviour etc.

If you need help finding who you are, I have curated some activities to help you on your journey to self-discovery.

Go on a solo trip.

This is the best and most fun way I know to self-discovery. Solo trips have a way of keeping you at peace and self-discovery occurs sooner in a peaceful environment. Why do you think most self-discovery movies include solo trips one way or another?

Read

Reading will expand your mind. Expanding your mind will open you up to accepting things that you have been conditioned to not accept. It will help with breaking away from known rules that apply only in the section where you grew up in society. Basically, it frees your mind from shackles.

Meditate

With your whole body still, there's no how you won't work your brain to think deeply. While it is hard to stay completely still to turn over everything that is in your mind because of the many distractions that are in the world. If you can do this, your self-discovery journey will thank you.

Journal

Keeping a journal helps you document your feelings as it comes. Writing them that way means you are writing down the way you feel immediately you feel them, without being contaminated with overthinking or doused with 'I shouldn’t be thinking that.'

This way, when you go back to read you have an understanding of how you think without restraint.

Knowing who you are will save you from most of life's hassles, so take some time out of your day to know more about yourself using any of the methods above or you can improvise.

If you think I made sense, leave a clap, if not comment on how I did not.

The End.
