How to improve self-awareness

Since the beginning of humanity we know that knowing yourself and giving your own life a purpose is what makes us live with meaning, well-being and fulfillment. However, we usually live as automatons and without being aware of who we are, why we think as we do, how we have created the needs we think we have, what we are afraid of or even what our purpose is to life.

Why is it so difficult to improve self-knowledge? Just like when you look in the mirror you see your face upside down, something similar happens with who you think you are. You see yourself thinking that your beliefs, needs, or fears are real. However, you believe them real because you identify with them.

So, next we will review several keys to improve your self-knowledge and thus be able to discover who you are and what your life purpose is. In my case, I have discovered them during 10 years of experience accompanying people from up to 5 different countries to get to know each other better and to discover their great purpose. This is what I have learned from all of them and from

what you can apply in your life from to discover who you really are.

1. Forget who you think you are

The big mistake we make with our self-knowledge is to think that we already know who we are. If you try to answer the question "who am I?", you will discover that you can only answer it with identifications.

You think you are a name, a nationality, a way of thinking, a profession, etc. But they are only identifications and attributes. To know who you really are, you first have to forget everything you think you are now.

2. Do not label yourself

To know yourself in depth you need delve into every layer of your personality: from your environment, behavior and attitudes, to your belief system, values ​​and identity. To achieve this it is essential that you do not label yourself or believe that you are a personality type A or B.

The self-awareness tools that give you a label are very misunderstood. These tools are used so that you do not identify yourself, not so that you do. Try not to identify yourself 100% through these tools or label yourself with anything.

3. Don't let anyone tell you who you are or what your purpose is

If anyone gives you advice, guides you, directs you and tries to tell you who you are, he will only be lending you his ideas and beliefs.

Only you decide who you are and what your purpose is, and you achieve it if you start a process of deep self-knowledge where you free yourself from what you think you are. and go on to build a new personality, more related to your essence and not to your ego (fictions created throughout your life about who do you think are).

4. Initiate a transpersonal process

Transpersonality means "beyond personality" and personality is a word that comes from Pessoa, from Latin, and means "mask". Exactly, your personality is your mask, not who you really are. A transpersonal process is what will lead you to overcome your ego and discover your true purpose.

5. Answer the right questions

The great tool to get to know you are questions. However, it is a mistake that you are the one asking those questions. You must answer them. In a process of self-knowledge and change an expert professional asks you the right questions.

6. Apply what you have learned to your life

It is not just about responding or reflecting, but about applying in your life each of the changes that you discover that you have to make. Your new life will be built if you make it come true with different actions, not just with good intentions. Only then can you get to know yourself: acting and discovering yourself.

7. Find the expert company

In the last 10 years, as I told you, I have accompanied people from up to 5 different countries to achieve changes in their lives and the personal development they deserve. I did it as a psychologist and coach, and in all those cases I discovered that self-knowledge was key.

That is why I designed Get to Know Yourself, a free self-knowledge program to get you started and answer the right questions. With the professional and expert company, which works like a mirror, that journey takes you inside with total safety and ethics. You can find that program within Human Empowerment, the personal development school that I run.

Improving your self-knowledge is a process that can take some time, but with the right company you can get to know yourself and discover your great life purpose in about two months. It is a deep and very special process to which I invite you from now on, because it is you and your life who will change thanks to your own change.
