AUDIO: 4 Reasons Why Understanding Your True Self Matters
Understanding your True Self is important if you want to create a life you love, on your own terms.
It can take time to really get intimate with who you truly are (especially if it’s something you’ve been ignoring most of your life).
To learn who you really are essentially, at the root and core of your being.
While this process of getting to know yourself better, might feel foreign and uncomfortable to undertake, it is a vital one.
When you better understand your true Self, you’re more likely to live in a way that closely reflects who you are as a whole being.
To begin the quest of greater awareness on living a life that is yours, it’s important to understand why the concept of the True Self matters.
Following are 4 reasons…
REASON #1
You’re more likely to make choices that won’t leave you feeling guilty or conflicted afterwards.
Being in sync with your True Self means you understand who you are deep in the core of your being. Within your authentic Self lies your values, beliefs, opinions, and feelings about life and the way you can experience it.
Understanding who you truly are means you’re more likely to act and speak in a way that directly corresponds with your True Self.
Have you ever behaved in a way that caused you discomfort because you felt like you “had” to act that way to please someone else?
Afterwards, did you feel guilty or conflicted about why you chose to act that way at the time? Therefore, it’s important to be in tune with true Self… because it helps guide your actions.
REASON #2
People you meet will see your authentic self and understand you better.
The idea of understanding True Self is vital for everyone – it shows the people in our life how we actually feel and who we are. When you’re able to connect with your own True Self, your actions and words are more likely to align with your core values.
Having that kind of strong connection to your True Self, expresses itself through the words and actions you choose.
When other people observe your behaviour, they’ll get a direct representation of who you truly are.
This can minimize or eliminate misunderstandings and idealistic expectations from others. It can also be a useful tool for setting boundary lines.
When others see your True Self, they can develop a better sense of what your needs are, and what makes you comfortable or uncomfortable.
REASON #3
You can better perceive when something isn’t right for you, and hear your intuition more clearly.
Even the people who do have a deep connection to their true selves, may occasionally be tempted to put on the mask of their “false self” identity.
It’s standard human behaviour to feel like we must sometimes change our actions or words to please someone else, for various reasons.
However, having that deep connection to True Self also keeps you more in tune with the voice of intuition.
When your connection to True Self is strong, you will instantly spot a shift in the moment you feel tempted to go against your authentic way of thinking, speaking, or acting.
This unstable feeling could be your intuition trying to send you a powerful message via your True Self.
REASON #4
It’s easier to focus on your goals, dreams, and aspirations.
Understanding your True Self is one of the most genuine ways to define all the things you want to realize experientially in life.
When you are allied with your True Self, you know what will be conducive to you, and what to discard.
When you’re setting goals or visualizing where you’ll be in the future, your True Self can offer you a glimpse of what that journey realistically looks like and entails for you.
Understanding who you truly are and consciously designing your life experience around your values and desired fulfillment, presents more insight into how you could specifically accomplish your goals.
