05 Jul Understanding Ourselves with deeper insight
Everything starts with self, understanding what our needs are, what makes us happy, what makes us unhappy and how do we cope and manage challenges. Understanding ourselves on a deeper level is needed to progress forwards in a direction of self-discovery and fufillment.
Approaching things with curiousity and insight helps us to understand the way we are and how we get triggered. But first we must master awareness. The key to really understanding ourselves is to delve deeper into recognising our behaviours, how our thoughts can impact our actions and noticing the patterns that form from learnt behaviours and experiences that influence us.
Understanding ourselves probably aids self-acceptance, self- control, and good relationships. But self-understanding only comes from interacting with others. When you understand and know yourself, you are able to see what motivate you and what holds you back.
Inner work is needed to help you move forwards and overcome challenges. Inner work is about looking at the parts of you that need to change in order to bring in the happiness and peace you seek. Its about self-reflective work, going within and facing your fears.
Self-actualization helps you to own your strengths, express love, surrender to your most authentic self and work on the triggers and emotions that need TLC. Understanding your self is imperative to healing, evolving and shifting to a place that is more suited to your best self. Love yourself daily, take care of yourself daily, attend to your needs that can be ever changing on a moment by moment basis. Forgive yourself for the mistakes made, the times you could of done things differently. This was all part of your journey.
Understanding self is about knowing yourself inside and out and understanding yourself on an energetic level, emotional level, mentally and physically. What really drives you? what makes you feel that spark? Do you know how to feel happy? Do you know what doesn’t make you happy?
Remember yourself? Look into the mirror and watch who is looking back at you, love that person, show them kindness and appreciation. Understanding self starts with going within, looking at everything you are and loving all that you are unconditionally. That strength within you is still there waiting for you to explore it and use
To understand self we must ask the questions that will get us thinking and increase awareness. To maximise our potential we need to really get to know ourselves better than anyone else. Focus on the inner work, the shadows that hold you back, the triggers and the present moment to gain that deeper level of you.
