Self-Discovery: How Identity Shapes Personal Growth
It’s like you’re just going through the motions, not feeling yourself and not knowing exactly what makes you happy. You’re not alone. In our fast paced world, we are so busy many of us lose sight of our underlying selves. This is where that journey of self-discovery starts; this path helps you to discover your core values, beliefs and desires to grow in a more genuine way.
Why is Identity Exploration Important?
Identity exploration is really like a deep dive into finding out who you really are, not in the way you parent or the way you bring money into the household, but really who you are. It’s about figuring out what truly moves you, what makes you tick, and what brings you joy. Through the exploration of your identity you can make better choices as to what you do with yourself and to yourself based on your authentic self and, consequentially, live a more fulfilled life.
What Can Self Discovery Therapy Do?
Self Discovery Therapy is one way to start this journey. In this kind of approach, you’re working with a therapist who helps you to understand your thoughts, feelings and experiences so that you can develop a clearer sense of who you are. No matter what is going on in your life, whether it’s past traumas or just new changes, therapy creates a safe space that allows you to better understand yourself and to heal.
How to Start Your Self Discovery Journey in Simple Steps
Don’t make getting started seem hard. Here are a few simple steps you can take:
- Reflect on Your Values: Try to give yourself a little bit of thinking time as to what is important to you. What do you stand for?
- Journaling: Having everything written down your thoughts and feelings allows you to gain insight into your true self.
- Seek Professional Help: If you’re feeling stuck, by all means, talk to a therapist who can lead you through this process.
