From social media posts to chic stationery, everywhere you go, you can find one quote doing the rounds – Find yourself.

But what exactly does it mean to find oneself? Frankly speaking, it is a lot of things. For starters, it is understanding who you really are. It’s also getting a sense of things. Not to forget, it is finding what makes you content.

The list will go on but the real deal here is. How do you find yourself?

Here’s your answer.

10 things you need to do to find yourself

1. Reinstating the principles you upheld

We all have our own values we believe in. But every time we do things that violate such values/

principles, we feel uncomfortable. This is when we stop being ourselves.

So the solution here is to abandon the project if you are uncomfortable doing it.

2. Remembering your past and learning from it

We are always told not to be in the past. But just sometimes, it can do us more good than harm. It can remind you how you used to be before you changed for the worse. And that, you still can be that old version of you.

Furthermore, it can teach you the art of survival – that if you survived in the past, you can do so this time as well.

3. Cut yourself from toxicity.

Sometimes the only thing that prevents us from finding ourselves is toxicity. Be it toxic ideologies or toxic people we are surrounded with.

Therefore, reflect on people you surround yourself with, and their beliefs and ideas. Cutting yourself from toxicity can help you with your discovery.

4. Spend more time with yourself

Doing Nothing is a bad set of words in the eyes of the world. But that’s not the case when you are trying

to find yourself.

That is to say, when you sit idle, you are thinking about life and aspirations. And let’s just not undermine the power of thoughts; they can do wonders. Who knows if one of them is actually trying to find yourself?

5. Look around your tangible possessions

Things we buy, things we surround ourselves with speak volumes. In this respect, they can totally help you determine who you are.

For instance, if you bear an admiration of home-décor items and styling your home, perhaps something related to interior designing can be your thing. 

6. Make lists of things you like to do

Our likes and dislikes are integral in the sense that they form a part of us. Therefore making a list of things you like and dislike can be your best shot to determine who you are.

7. Ponder about things that you don’t like about people

Points that you do not like about others, might lead you to who you are absolutely not.

For instance, if you do not like materialistic people, then you know that you are a simple person and capitalistic professions might not be your thing.

8. Think, what would you do if you are liberated of social and financial obligations?

Sometimes we do not do things we don’t like for the sake of earning a stable likelihood. Therefore,

imagine if money is not to be a considerable factor, then what is it you would do?

Singing, painting, whatever but one of your answers might be the end of your search.

9. Evaluate the subject of your social discourses

The subjects and topics you talk about can bring you closer to the discovery. 

For instance, if you find yourself engaging in conversations related to stocks and securities frequently, then you know finance it is.

10. Determining what gives you peace even after a hectic schedule

When you are doing something that defines you, you would be tired but you won’t ever run away. And just in case if you do escape, its absence will eat you up and you’ll come back to it eventually.  

That is your cue people.

 Hope I made it easier for you to discover yourself.
