People learn a lot throughout their lives about the world, about other people, about studying and working, but one of the most important lessons in life is to learn about yourself. Many times, we try to understand other people but don't fully understand ourselves. Understanding yourself means knowing your strengths, knowing your weaknesses, knowing your feelings, knowing your values, knowing your dreams.
Know your strength: Every person has some strength or good quality. Some can speak very well. Some can solve problems. Some can help others.
example: Good communication skills, Ability to learn quickly, Patience, Leadership skills, Integrity, Problem solving, Creativity, Ability to understand others, Responsibility.
To know your strengths, you need to ask yourself some questions: What do I do well? What do I enjoy doing? What qualities do people appreciate about me? In what situations can I make good decisions?
Know your weakness: It is often difficult to learn from one's own weaknesses, but the greatest quality of a mature person is the ability to recognize one's own mistakes and weaknesses.
example: Getting angry too quickly, not being able to make decisions, being excessively fearful, procrastinating, lack of self-confidence, being influenced by the words of others, lack of patience, wasting time, Unable to admit mistakes.
Having weaknesses is not bad, but not understanding your own weaknesses is a big problem.
Like: what habits hold me back, what mistakes do I make repeatedly, what situations make me weak, what do I want to change?
Know your Emotions: People experience different types of feelings in their lives, such as love, joy, sadness, anger, fear, frustration, anxiety, jealousy.
Like why am I really angry? Did someone hurt me? Am I tired? Am I under any pressure? I'm angry right now so I won't make a decision now.
Know your values: Honesty, Family, Freedom, Respect, Security, Knowledge, Money, Love, Service, spirituality......Find out which one is your favorite.
Know your Dreams: The life others want for you is not your dream. What kind of life would you choose if you didn't care what other people said?
Like where you want to live, what kind of life you want, what you want to learn, what kind of person you want to be, what you want about family, where you want to go financially. What do you want to do for society?
Motivates you: Some people are motivated by money, some by respect, some by freedom, some by achievement, some by helping others. What task do you feel most motivated to do?
Know what triggers you: In what situations does your behavior suddenly change? When someone disrespects you, when someone doesn't listen to you, when someone catches you wrong, when you fail? If someone ignores you.
What kind of person are you when you are alone: How can you be in front of people but when you are alone, ask yourself what you do when no one is looking at you?
Look at your thought patterns: What kind of thoughts keep coming to my mind, I can't do it, everyone is judging me, bad things are always happening to me, I failed once, so I am a failure.
Journal about your life: What did I do well today, what did I do wrong today, what am I feeling today, what did I learn today, what can I do better tomorrow?
Understand your past: Which elite has changed me, which mistake has taught me the most, which person has influenced me for the better, which experience has strengthened me? What have I learned from the past?
