Tools And Practices For Uncovering Your Inner Wisdom – The Journey Of Self-Discovery
It is the most interesting one, as it helps one in realizing his/her true potential and also the purpose of being born on this planet. While it is not easy, there are tool practices to help you in this journey of self-discovery.
We often forget that there can be a higher purpose to our lives and wallop in the endless woes of petty issues. This higher purpose is only revealed to us when we actively seek it and open our minds and beings to new kinds of experiences. As soon as we broaden our horizons, we realize that life has offered us a platter of very interesting food that we did not know existed all along.
Some of the tools and practices to listen to our inner voice include:
- Cultivating self-awareness and self-awareness does not mean being conscious, it simply means knowing yourself in and out. Reflection creates self-awareness when you understand your values, desires, and beliefs and accept them fully.
- Reflection – Reflection is a wonderful thing to do as it creates space for self-awareness. Nowadays people think that this is a waste of time but the moment we stop running and give ourselves some space to sit and reflect, a lot of get untangled.
- Trust Your Intuition – Often we cannot hear our intuition or ignore it even after hearing it. Change this behavior. There are times when we feel something very strongly and that is our gut feeling or intuition advising us on something important. Intuition conveys a message carrying insight into a matter which our conscious mind may not be able to grasp at once. But with time and practice, you will learn to listen to your inner voice cutting all the noise around.
- Pay Heed to Physical Signals – Our body is strongly related to our mind and when it gives us signals we should pay attention to those. Anxiety or excitement can be understood through bodily signals which should not be ignored.
Likewise, practicing mindfulness, being with you for some time every day, and being patient and persistent in our efforts will bring us close to achieving our results. Travel and meditation are also excellent choices for self-discovery. Pushing the boundaries opening yourself up to new experiences during travel and sitting quietly for meditation for around 20 minutes a day can help open up new possibilities for self-discovery.
When you discover yourself, you will become more confident, resilient, empowered, and emotionally intelligent, a better communicator, ace decision maker, and also become more creative. You will be able to achieve your aim and also uncover your passions along with becoming a wisdom guru for everyone else. There are people all around the world who are lost in their lives and do not realize the purpose of living. You will be able to guide them through this process and tell them how to live life happily and achieve their goals. Also, they can learn about being emotionally intelligent and compassionate towards others to build a better society.
