How can you introduce yourself, if you don't know yourself ?
Do you know yourself?
Who in your mind are you?
Are you who you think you are, or are you who they think you should be?
When was the last time you smiled for the reason that you surprised yourself in doing or achieving something that was not known by yourself that you could do?
Do you contemplate a change in your life for the better of yourself, or do you contemplate a change because once again someone doesn't know you?
How can you be the best at being you, if you cant answer these questions?
You cant sit on a couch or at a table where the you that everyone else knows sit's, and try to soul search where you are, what you are, why you are and most of all WHO you are.
If there is one grain of advice that can come from someone who has found themselves many times over, it is this:
Walk out of your comfort zone, don't drive, walk.
Go to a place that you have never been before, it's called "self discovery".
You can find " Self Discovery" at a location that has no people, no traffic, no signs, no buildings and no noise.
You may have to sit still for 10 minutes or more before you get there, but if you give this a try, you will find more than what you think you will.
1/ Turn everything around you off.
2/ Close all windows, blinds and doors leading to you.
3/ Lay a cushion, pillow, blanket or mat on the floor in a corner of
the room. [ NOT CENTRE ]
4/ Take a seat on the cushion, pillow, blanket or mat, facing the
corner.
5/ Close off all thought's and picture a black screen.
6/ In the middle of that black screen imagine a white pin hole.
7/ Concentrate on the pin hole and only the pin hole.
8/ Let it grow larger until your comfortable enough to know your mind
can squeeze through the centre of the hole.
9/ Now you have entered a reboot of what you think and know you
should be, picture one thing at a time and place it within the white
room that you are in. Picture a time when you smiled, hold that
thought and place it within this room, picture times when you
achieved goals by yourself and put them in this room. Think of that which makes you happy, not for someone else but for you and put
that thought into this room, this room is you, this room is why,
where ,how and who you are, fill it with happy thoughts.
10/ After feeling that you have occupied this room with everything you
can think of about yourself and what makes you tick, what makes
you happy and what makes you ,'YOU', withdraw back out of the
pinhole and let it close behind you. Sit still for a couple minutes
and reflect on what you have just accomplished within your own
mind, and the next time you have the feeling of not knowing who
you are, just remember that little white room locked away that
you can visit anytime, anywhere and find yourself again.
