Do you know yourself?

Take One: 

Do you know yourself?

Oh hell yeah I know myself.  I am a strong independent woman who knows what I believe in, what I stand for and what I want in life – don’t doubt me!

Take Two:

Do you know yourself?

Um, I think so, what do you think, do you think I know myself, do you know me, WHO AM I?!

I OBVIOUSLY fall into the “Take One” category (wink, wink), but for those of you who fall into the “Take Two” category I recently read an article that may help you find your true self by asking 5 questions – which I’ve narrowed down to 3.

These questions are rather hard, and I think answering them honestly could be embarrassing or even painful.  But take a stab at it and see if you learn anything about yourself.

 

Who do you envy and why?

Rather than look at the negative side of envy and jealously, put a positive spin on it.  If you identify why you envy them, maybe there are changes/choices you can make in your own life to attain the very things that make you envious.

I envy people with a nuclear family, freedom and money.  This information is a starting place for me to align my life with what I value.  This tells me that I want to have plenty of money, but I want to find the freedom and flexibility to put my family first.

 

What do you lie about?

(Insert answer here.)

What do you do for fun?

What you do for fun makes you happy.  What you do for fun makes you interesting.  What you do for fun makes you, YOU!

 

I run, I hike, I take exercise classes , I go to my favorite spots for shopping, or food, or lattes, I go for drives, I do DIY projects,  I spend time with friends, I go away on the weekends…I WRITE!  What would I like to do?  I’d like to get back into photography, play the guitar and cook - just to name a few.

I am on a journey to get to know myself better.  I want to find myself - I want to find my path - I want to find where I am supposed to be and who I am supposed to be there with.
