What is Self Discovery?

One of the first steps to foundation Self Confidence is diving deep into self discovery. Self discovery is the process of taking an open minded approach to understanding your values, your needs and wants.

Why is Self Discovery important?

Self discovery is important because confidence derives from clarity. When you’re clear about who you are and the things that make up your character you are able to make better decisions, ask for what you want, and easily navigate what’s best for you.

“Yet, for a lot of people, we have a way of losing touch with our values and hiding our own motivations and preferences, even from ourselves.
Self-discovery is important because it helps us live more meaningful lives. You learn how to take better care of yourself when you understand yourself.”

Mistake to avoid when on the path of discovery

• Following every trend

Your personal growth journey in unique to you. One of the easiest ways that will slow you down on your journey of growth is doing what you see everyone else is doing. Stay true to yourself and do what works for you. As you discover yourself you will learn what does and doesn’t work for you and if you keep track of that it will save you from wasting a lot of time copying everyone else.

• Comparing your progress to others

We have all heard comparison is the thief of joy. If you want to have a sense of peace and remain proud of yourself throughout your self discovery journey, don’t compare your journey to someone else’s. Compare your journey to where you were before and you will find fulfilment in what you can control.

• Thinking you’re already self aware

When you approach life with this thought, you are closing yourself off to the opportunities and possibilities that will present themselves. Keep an open minded approach to learning yourself and you can better navigate your experience of life.
