LEARN TODAY:
Self-Discovery To Help You Find Yourself

Self-discovery is the process of learning more about who you are so that you can better recognize and understand your authentic self. It's possible that you already know your basic beliefs as well as your general preferences. But self-discovery is much more than this.

Understanding and controlling your emotions, personality, and behaviors depend heavily on your level of self-knowledge. It increases your capacity for self-awareness, improves your goal-setting skills, and opens up new avenues for personal development.

Self-discovery is crucial since it enables us to assess our life and identify any gaps.

How happy are you with your career? Would you like to adopt a different lifestyle? How do you feel about your physical well-being? What about mental wellness? You can begin the process of completing the gaps after determining what is lacking.

Knowing yourself also means you can be more mindful about setting goals that are right for you. Setting and achieving goals that align with your personal values won't require you to rely on outside inspiration. You will therefore have a higher chance of succeeding in them.

Eight questions to ask yourself when you're on your path to self-discovery are as follows:

What do you fear the most in life and why?

What lessons from your childhood have stuck with you to this day?

Does the job you currently have to fulfill your needs and make you happy?

What problems are you facing at the moment?

Do you make rash or well-thought-out decisions?

What's one thing you want to improve in your life, and how will you do that?

What are your top three values in life?

If you could do anything right now, what would you do?

10 self-discovery techniques

Perhaps you've already made the decision to learn more about yourself, but you're not sure where to start. The truth is that there is no right or wrong way to approach this journey. It's yours. If you find a technique that works for you but not others, it doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.

Still, some self-discovery techniques might help you get in touch with your values and desires. Try these ten suggestions for self-discovery:

  1. Take some time to envision your perfect life and self.

  2. Consider your goals, hobbies, and passions.

  3. Step outside your comfort zone and attempt new activities.

  4. Consider each of your skills, no matter how big or small they are

  5. Consider the qualities you find most admirable about yourself.

  6. Keep a journal of your thoughts, experiences, and life changes.

  7. Consult a life coach to plan your next course of action.

  8. To get inspired, read novels or listen to podcasts on other people's journeys.

  9. Strengthen your mental health and well-being

  10. Follow your inner compass and let go of other people's perceptions of you.

Bolivian Town Protects 1 Million Acres of Amazon Rainforest–Building a ‘Conservation Mosaic’ of 90% Forests

In some countries, executive government action is what creates big protected areas of wild lands, but in Bolivia, with the announcement of the establishment of a truly gargantuan patch of protected forest, credit must be given to the ordinary people of the country.

In the municipality of Sena (pop. 2,500) a law was just created to protect 452,639 hectares (1.1 million acres) of Amazon rainforest. Called the Gran Manupare Integrated Management Natural Area, the law was overseen by, and passed for the benefit of, “peasants and indigenous communities,” per a statement from the mayor’s office.

Located in the Pando Department in the far northern corner of Bolivia, the new protected area represents almost 8% of its forests and has significantly increased the region’s conservation coverage to 26%.

Upward-Facing Two-Legged Staff Pose (Dwi pada viparita dandasana)

What is Upward-Facing Two-Legged Staff Pose?

Upward-facing two-legged staff pose, or dwi pada viparita dandasana in Sanskrit, is an advanced backbend and inversion. Supported by the feet, forearms and head, the body forms a beautiful arch. Comfort with wheel pose (chakrasana) and headstand pose (sirsasana) are a must before attempting this deep backbend.

Instructions

  • Lie on the back. Bend the knees and bring them near the buttocks, about hip distance wide.

  • Bring the palms to the floor next to the head.

  • Exhale and push into the hands to lift the hips, chest and head. Reposition the head so that top of the head is on the floor as if you were coming into headstand.

  • Carefully lower the forearms onto the floor and interlace the fingers in a headstand position.

  • Walk the feet out until the legs are straight.

  • Breathe while holding the pose.

  • Walk the feet back in, then exhale and carefully lower.
