Finding yourself may sound like an inherently self-centered goal, but it is actually an unselfish process that is at the root of everything we do in life. In order to be the most valuable person to the world around us, the best partner, parent etc, we have to first know who we are, what we value and, in effect, what we have to offer. This personal journey is one every individual will benefit from taking. It is a process that involves breaking down – shedding layers that do not serve us in our lives and don’t reflect who we really are. Yet, it also involves a tremendous act of building up – recognizing who we want to be and passionately going about fulfilling our unique destiny – whatever that may be. It’s a matter of recognizing our personal power, yet being open and vulnerable to our experiences.

1. Make sense of your past
2. Differentiate

“To lead a free life you must:
Step 1: Break with harmful internalized thought processes, i.e., critical, hostile attitudes toward self and others.

Step 2: Separate from negative personality traits assimilated from one’s parents.

Step 3: Relinquish patterns of defense formed as an adaptation to painful events in one’s childhood.

Step 4: Develop one’s own values, ideals, and beliefs rather than automatically accepting those one has grown up with.
