How well do you know yourself?
In the last post from the #BeHappyGetResults series, I shared how acceptance (of yourself, others, and life situations) can be the easiest way to experience the results you desire in your life. But before you can even accept yourself, you need to really know all aspects of you.
Do you know the real you? Your true, best self? The parts you love or like about yourself – – your desires, values, and strengths? And, the parts you don’t love about yourself – – what holds you back and the parts you hide?
How can you get to know the real you?
If you’ve been following the #BeHappyGetResults series, you know that going inward and connecting with your truth is an important step to get the results you desire in your life. Self-awareness helps define what makes you happy and inspires you to take action toward your goals. Below I share some additional resources to better understand your true self.
For more information on your best self, check out the following book:
To know that other side of yourself that holds you back or that you’re hiding, check out the following:
- Article – “Feeling Stuck? Move Beyond What Holds You Back.”
- Book – Taming Your Gremlin: A Surprisingly Simply Method for Getting Out of Your Own Way.
Finally, to better understand both aspects of yourself (i.e., the real you including what you deeply desire plus “stories” that hold you back), see the following book:
The benefits of knowing yourself…
With a deeper sense of who you really are, you can create an enhanced vision for your life. The best part…when you’re clear on who you are and what you desire (and you accept this truth), you can confidently convey your true, best self in a compelling and consistent way. And, people can know the real you. The real you attracts people, situations, and opportunities that align with your deepest desires allowing you to experience results you’ve been pursuing.
So, embrace these strengths and your true story. Stop following the “shoulds” in your life and stop over-engineering your life, then all the things you don’t need fall away. You’ll be left with who you are and attract what you want more naturally with life flowing more easily and allowing you to be more joyful & graceful in every moment.
And, this approach to life is MUCH EASIER. What can be easier than being you?
Seriously, I’ll leave you with my own story about how I got to know myself better, let my true self come through, and attracted results that I desired for my life.
Each week, I’ll continue to share steps to be happy and get results.
