7 steps to discover a new YOU!

What do I mean by discover a new you? I mean, you know who you are, right? Are you really sure? If yes, then why do you look for so many answers in life outside of yourself? Let me explain what I mean with a quick story! A boy was looking for his keys under a street light when a friend came up to him and asked “what are you looking for? ”. The boy replied “I lost my key”. So the friend asked where he lost it and the boy answered “well, when I got home this afternoon it was in my pocket, now I can't find it”. “So why are you looking here? ” the friend asked, and the boy replied “because it's light over here, it's easier to see”. Of course this story tells us that sometimes we're looking in the places where it's easiest to look, but not in the right places! Do you think you sometimes do the same thing too? Here are 7 steps that I hope may help you find yourself too! 1 — First, always look for answers inside you! Ask yourself a question, quiet your mind, and listen for the answer. Actually, if you really think, you already know what you need to do to solve all your problems! But you are still looking for the answers outside of yourself. Just take enough time for yourself, and be quiet inside so you can hear and understand the answers. 2 — If you really want to find the solution, first you need to face your problem. Yes, confronting your problems can sometimes be really hard, because most times you need to take responsibility in order to face it. But if you do you can solve anything. Once you know the problem, solving it is really just the little detail. 3 — Use self-talk techniques, and chat with yourself. I often like to talk to myself, especially in the bathroom mirror! Yes, it really does work. I always think that when I have to deal with something it's better to get some advice from a different point of view. But I'm the one who knows my problems best, so I'm the best person to ask. Self talk is so powerful, you will be surprised what you hear! 4 — Accept who you really are, without judgement. Everyone is beautiful. This is the most powerful one. If you don't like someone judging you, then don't judge yourself. Accept and let go. Whatever you think about affects every cell in your body — you literally change yourself with your thoughts. So say that you are beautiful awesome and perfect. Because you are! 5 — Think like you best friend, or your husband or wife, and imagine what they would do in this situation. Now think for you, ask yourself some questions, and write the answers down. Mostly we're just thinking about the other people in our lives — our family and friends, what they like, what they want. You are too busy to think about yourself, so take time for you and make a list of what you really want. What do you like to do? Think about it, write it down, then start doing more of it. 6 — Find your inner peace. How? Be generous, try giving something to someone who needs it. Studies show that if you spend money doing a good thing for someone else you will much happier than if you spend it on yourself. Do more things without thinking. 7 — Be grateful for what you already have. Don't focus on what you don't have. Whatever your situation right now, be grateful for the things you do have.
