Personal Growth Strategies #5: Defining the Me I Want to Be

Humans think in pictures, which is why language was developed to communicate these images. We use words to trigger these pictures, such as nouns and adjectives, to describe things to ourselves and others. One of the biggest challenges is describing our "self" to ourselves and others. 

We all have many possible selves, some of which are active and obvious, while others can be strengthened and brought into current reality.

To know which self is the best, consider the qualities that make us at our best. By bringing these qualities into awareness, we can deliberately set out to make our everyday self more like our "best" self. Techniques like affirmation, visualization, and self-talk can help us achieve this. By managing our mind, we move towards and become like what we think about, allowing energy to flow.
​

To focus on the aspects of ourselves that we want to see more of, focus on them systematically and repeat it every day. This will help us become our best self naturally.
