Do you know THE person in YOUR Mirror? On the surface it seems an odd idea that you could actually be anything other than who you really are. But from the time we can talk, we’re being programmed to “FIT IN.” But sometimes that means that you have to suppress who you know is the real person inside and the things that you know are possible. And yet, your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship you’ll ever have. Research shows that without a healthy relationship with yourself, cultivating healthy relationships with others becomes nearly impossible. If you’re ready to get reacquainted with someone you haven’t seen in a while – YOURSELF – start with these 4 ideas to help you rediscover the real you. Quiet the noise in your head. You know those voices well, the ones that are constantly nagging you to pick up the dry cleaning, talk to the school teacher, juggle the bills, schedule the vet, keep the boss happy. With all that noise going on, it will be impossible for you to hear anything above the din. This MUST be the first step. How do you do that? Research shows that by setting up effective systems, simplifying your routines, and creating a sense of abundance in your life, you can operate from a place of confidence and opportunity, rather than scarcity. Practice thinking about yourself in healthy ways. In order to do that, you must first believe that you are valuable, and your Real Self has something to offer the world. Since you talk to yourself more than everyone else in your life combined --that’s a lot of talk!—it’s up to YOU to establish healthy communication in your thinking. Consciously listen to how you talk to yourself; write down the unhealthy things you say; challenge them; and replace them with facts. Self-Talk: “You never do anything right.” Reframe your self-talk: Of course, I do things well. I got (example) right, and I did (example) right, too. This time, I simply made a mistake. I’ll learn from it and be even more successful next time. Listen to your heart. Sounds easy enough, but by the time we’re adults, most of us have stopped listening to our hearts and go only with our heads. Those two must reconnect in order to find your real self. It’s easy to become accustomed to thinking about your feelings instead of really feeling them. Instead of asking yourself what you think about something, ask why it’s important. Be careful not to get hung-up on a specific goal. What you’re really after is a feeling -- respect, love, appreciation - as opposed to the company car, or a great guy/girl. Keep an open mind to the feelings, and be willing to adjust the methods you use to achieve them. Determine not just your goals, but how it satisfies who you really are. The mask will come off and your real self will come shining through. A person you can know and love - you! - is waiting for you to take the time to listen and understand and accept. When you accept YOUR Real Self again, you'll make smarter choices, and those choices will stick because they actually fit who you are. Now, that's what you're really looking for, isn't it?
