How to discover yourself ! Give yourself some alone time, seek out a passion, and find a mentor. Change your perspective and let go of negative thoughts

1. How to Find Yourself
Dwarka
Iskcon, the International Society
for Krishna Consciousness, also
known as the Hare Krishna
movement is a spiritual society
which has been founded by
Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada. He founded
this in New York in July, 1966.

2. Know How to Find Yourself
Wake your consciousness: write down your life's
timeline and distinguish your thoughts from
others'. Start with a clean slate and organize your
world. Give yourself some alone time, seek out a
passion, and find a mentor. Change your
perspective and let go of negative thoughts.
Question yourself, then act on your newfound
knowledge

3. Waking Your Conscious

4. Waking Your Conscious
Create your own life timeline. Write down all of your
major goals that you feel you have achieved and want to
achieve. In turn, write down the events in your life that
have already happened and that have shaped or affected
you. When life brings problems or misfortunes it shapes
our belief system and makes us think differently, but it
also makes us us. These things you list are organically you,
not a simple reflection of society.

5. Distinguish Your Thoughts From The
Thoughts Of Others

6. Distinguish Your Thoughts From The
Thoughts Of Others
Distinguish your thoughts from the thoughts of others. For most
people (it's more common than you may think) life is pretty easy to go
through while on autopilot; we practically get handed a road map for
how reality "works." Go to school, get a job, get married, think this,
that, and the other, and boom — hope you had a good time. And
that's all well and good — it gets the job done certainly — but it
doesn't allow room for you. So sit down with yourself. At the end of
the timeline, come up with a few beliefs of yours that aren't based on
logic, but are based on what you've been told. We all have them.
Now, what do you actually think?

7. Start Relying On Yourself
Confidence and reliance are at the heart of
finding yourself. If you don't have a
solid sense of self-worth, you'll listen to
what others have to say all the time and to
be swayed by their insistence on what is
appropriate. Learn to believe in yourself
and trust your own feelings. Then, you'll
come up with a structure to base your new
sense of self on. Remember, be patient with
yourself and confident in your abilities.
Everything will come with time.
If you have been victimized in the past, confront these issues. They're not going to go away on their own.
They might be coloring your approach to daily life, causing you to live up to other people's expectations
instead of your own.
Start trusting your own judgment and decision-making processes, mistakes and all. We all make mistakes, but
through mistakes we find ourselves growing, learning, and reaching our real selves.

8. Prepare To Begin Again With A Clean Slate
Develop your own moral conduct and
practice sticking to it. Start by
overcoming bad habits. Stop smoking,
over-eating, and abusive drinking.
These are examples of lapses or habits
that will prevent you from functioning
at your peak. They also let you "off the
hook" by sidestepping the analysis of
why you use these crutches instead of
finding better ways to brighten your
life.
This step may take some major rehabilitation for some individuals but putting it into
the too-hard basket won't make it go away. Remember, you can't drive your life
forward if you are always gazing through your rear-view mirror!

9. Organize Your World
You may find that having all
your other affairs in order
will help expedite the
process to grabbing a firm
hold on your identity. So
clean your room. Do your
homework. Resolve that
fight with that friend.
Getting everything else out
of the way will clear up the
path to "me" time.
We all have excuses for why we're not growing in the direction we want to be
growing — it could be money, school, a job, a relationship, you name it, someone's
used it. If you're a busy bee, take strides to clear your schedule so you can sit down
and tackle this thing head on. If it's always priority #2, it'll never get done

10. Conquering Your World
Immerse yourself in solitude. Give yourself
some time and space to get away from the
expectations, the conversations, the noise,
the media, and the pressure. Take some time
each day to go for a long walk and think. Plant
yourself on a park bench and look. Take a
long, thoughtful road trip. Whatever you do,
move away from anything that distracts you
from contemplating your life and where you
want it to go. In solitude, you should feel
independent and self-sufficient, not lonely,
needy or afraid.
Every person needs time alone, whether they're introverted or extroverted, single or
in a relationship, young or old. Solitude is time for rejuvenation and self-talk, for
utter peace and for realizing that purposeful "loneliness" is not a bad place to be but
rather, a liberating part of your overall existence.

11. Abandon The Negative
Although it sounds abstract, it's not difficult.
Make a conscious effort to minimize judging
— others, objects, and yourself. This is for two
reasons: 1) Positivity is nourishing and can
usher in a sense of happiness which being
"lost" masks, and 2) Opening your mind to
new experiences and new people (that you
previously wrote off) will show you a whole
new world that may be better than the one
you knew before — one where you can find
your corner of the sky, your castle on a cloud,
your niche in this crazy world.
Try to do something every day that you would've brushed off as "weird," "illogical,"
or just plain "uncomfortable". Getting out of your zone will not only teach you
something, but it will force you to get to know you — what you're capable of, what
you like, what you definitely don't like, and what you were previously missing.

12. Act upon and use your newly discovered knowledge
Pick up those
watercolors. Write a short
story. Plan a trip to
Mombasa. Have dinner with
a family member. Start
cracking jokes. Open up. Tell
the truth. Whatever it is that
you've decided you want to
be or do, start being and
doing it now.
Sometimes, the real you is too afraid to face the practicalities because it'd mean
facing up to what you've limited yourself by. Start planning what you really want to
do and investigating what needs to be done to get you to that point instead of
flinging excuses at them, stopping the goals and dreams dead in their tracks.

13. Be Ready For Dead Ends
Finding yourself is a journey, not a
destination. A lot of it is trial and error.
That's the price you pay in return for
the satisfaction you receive: More often
than not, you hit a bump in the road,
and sometimes you fall flat on your
face. Be prepared to understand and
accept that this is a part of the process,
and commit to getting right back up and
starting over.
Serve others. Mahatma Gandhi once said that "the best way to find yourself is to
lose yourself in the service of others." Being introspective without reaching out to
others can cause you to navel-gaze and shut yourself off from others. Service to
other people and to the community is the ultimate way to find purpose and a sense
of your place in the world.
