So, Here, We’re going to talk about Mastering yourself, It is necessary, Because it empowers our Personal Growth, Clarity of Purpose, Leadership, Healthy Relationship and a well well focused mind. So here the question arises “How to Master Ourself?”
As I said, Self-mastery involves honest self-reflection, so you could allow yourself to recognize areas of your personality or behavior that may hinder your personal growth. Acknowledging these aspects creates a foundation for positive change. It’s all within us but it’s not as much as easy as we see and think about it, mastering oneself is a lifelong journey of self-awareness, personal growth, and continuous improvement.
Begin it by honestly assessing your strengths, weaknesses, values, and beliefs. Reflect on your past experiences and how they have shaped you. Understand what drives you and what holds you back. Dedicate a specific time for self-reflection regularly. It could be daily, weekly, or whenever you feel the need to reflect on your experiences and emotions. Write down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a journal. To organize your thoughts and gain insights into patterns and trends in your life. Pose thoughtful questions to yourself. For examples
“What are my values and priorities?”
“What are my strengths and weaknesses?”
“What do I want to achieve in life?”
And Write down answers in your with the question that arises in your mind, and during writing your answers pay an deep attention on your emotions to understand why you’re feeling this way and what is the status of emotions in your answers. And then go on the next state, What is the cause that triggered your Emotions, Identify it and underline the reasons for your emotional reactions. During this, let your emotions flow, avoid suppressing it. Instead, give it permission to go all the way so you could identify it more clearly. Emotions are natural and part of being human, be kind and non-judgmental towards yourself during the exploration process. And set aside regular moments for your emotional check-ins. Take a few minutes each week or month to assess how you are feeling and why. Once you started this kind of self-awareness, it starts to help you to cultivate the habit of self-discipline so you stay focused and committed to your achievable goals.
In Paulo Coelho‘s word – “You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.“
So, instead of running away your faults, regretting on mistakes, embrace your journey with an open heart and a willingness to evolve, and you will find yourself on a path of profound personal transformation. And always remember, Who has Mastered himself is not the one who is Perfect in everything but the one who keep going on his without concerning about faults, mistakes, emotional drama. Self-Mastery is all about not getting distracted by anything, and going forward with a calm mind.
