If you are at a crossroads in your life and do not know which way to follow, this can be your first question. Who am I? 

Finding more about yourself and about what you want to do, or become will bring you more in a state of awareness and consciousness.

The journey of self-discovery can have unexpected results, and you might be wondering why you want to enter such a journey.

This road is not the easiest one to follow but surely will give sense to what you are looking for. It can take time and effort, probably months, or years. Once you begin your journey, you will be challenged and sometimes "lost".

Discovering more about your true self needs commitment and focus. Reaching your goal of finding your true self can open wounds from your past and will challenge you to reflect on your future. All this work that you will do will eventually bring clarity and contentment. This way, you will be able to live in alignment with your true self and your true purpose. 

If, along the way, you will feel discouraged, remind yourself that, it’s okay. This is what makes us human. Start by asking yourself: What do you wish to do to know more about yourself? Do you wish to reveal more of your creative side of you? What gives meaning to your life? Maybe you want to start doing something you wished to do for a long time, but the family rules "guided" you in a different direction. What would you like to offer to the world? 

Asking yourself different kinds of questions will permit you to become self-aware of what your inner being truly needs. You will become more aware of what your real values are. 

You might try the kokology game which is the study of Kokoro ( discovering the mind, in the emotional sense, the spirit, the courage, the affection, the sentiment and the inner meaning). It was created by the Japanese phycologists Tadahiko Nagao and Isamu Saito.

This game invites players to answer questions to discover more about their profound insights. 

Find your qualities and your strengths. Reflect more on what truly brings joy to your life. 

Journaling is a great way to keep records of what you are experiencing while you embark on this journey. Reserve time daily and a quiet place to write down your thoughts, your new experiences and how they impact you. Do they help you live your most authentic version of yourself?

We are all unique, and our self-discovery journey is unique. Be honest with yourself and answer all your questions in the sincerest possible way. You might be surprised by what you can discover about yourself. Sometimes we store so many repressed emotions and feelings from our childhood that we do not allow ourselves to BE ourselves. When we "lose" our identity, we are uncomfortable in our skin, and we carry all that unnecessary burden. This "burden" keeps us far away from our true selves.

We should always remind ourselves all along our journey that all the work we pour into it will eventually bring us to the end of our self-discovery journey. This "adventurous" journey guides you towards your true self. Isn't that wonderful? To know who you are and be comfortable with your human journey. 

Keep your pace and do not pressure yourself in completing this voyage. There are no rules, no timing. It is just you, your journey and your best well-intentioned version of yourself. Becoming self-conscious and self-aware takes time. Keep your focus on the present moment even if sometimes you are "forced" to relieve the past. The present moment will bring flow and ease.

If you do not find all the answers, it is okay. At least you can begin this purposeful journey, and find more of what you are here to do. We are all in search of living meaningful lives. And remember, always accept and love yourself as you are. And always love your journey!
