“Of all possible knowledge, is the wisest and most useful to know yourself?
(William Shakespeare)
- Each of us lives.
- Day after day.
- His own personal dream.
- We may or may not be aware of each step.
- But they are there.
- Leading us as if they were a guide.
When we talk about achieving our goals, our goals, and materializing our personal desires, self-care is a fundamental tool.
Many face continuous changes in their personal and professional lives, in our pursuit of well-being and inner growth we can rethorder many things that allow us to get to know each other and guide ourselves to what satisfies us and knows us best.
Knowing the goals we have and the tools to achieve them is the first step towards what we have decided to do.
It is true that talking about oneself can sometimes be difficult, we feel that we know each other and that we know each other, but we rarely stop to think, reflect and write down our goals, do not stop to analyze and become aware of the characteristics that will facilitate or hinder the achievement of the goals.
To do this, it is important and necessary to objectify what we know about ourselves and our interior as human beings.
It would be good to appreciate the importance of self-awareness for each of us and also the tools that would help us get to know each other better.
Here are the 3 best tools to develop self-known in you in a simple and effective way:
? Who I am. This exercise will allow you to see who you are right now and who you want to be, I emphasize that the most important thing is to decide how you will be able to become the person you want and want to be. What would be your strategy to achieve this?
You will accomplish this task by placing on one sheet who you are, on another, who you want to be and, on another, how you will achieve it. It will also be interesting to complement this exercise with feedback from trusted people to find out how they see and perceive you.
? The line of life. This tool allows you to create a horizontal line that represents your life, in this line you will mark a midpoint that represents the present moment, and then start to include the different situations and experiences you have had in the past. you can become aware of what you feel is relevant in your life.
The second part will be to fulfill part of your future, indicating your goals further and further in time.
At the end of this lifeline, I invite you to reflect on what you have been through and how you intend to achieve and achieve the goals set for your future.
? Have an emotional diary. Consciously feeling emotions as treasures, because their power in us is immense, listening to our emotions can help reveal many details about ourselves, other people or different situations, so the emotional diary is considered a technique to facilitate self-knowledge.
Being aware of your own emotional state, knowing what emotions are most repeated in your daily life, or their origin, among other manifestations, can allow you to have a better self-knowledge at any time in your life that you want.
“The key to effectively managing others is learning to manage yourself first. The more you know each other, the better you can connect with others, in a position of trust, security, and strength.
