Have
you reached a point in your life where you now look at yourself, yet do not
recognize who you are? Do you feel like you have lost yourself, not looking the
way you used to, or not acting and doing the things the way you used to do? Do
not give up on yourself just yet! There are many reasons to why people let
themselves go and you are not alone when it comes to this topic. In fact, the
majority of people feel that they have lost themselves in one way or another.
While this may be a fact, it is also a fact that you can re-discover yourself
and find the person you feel you have lost.
Before
you re-discover yourself, you must research and take notes on yourself, finding
out what exactly it is you have lost about your persona. Is the way you used to
look? Or the activities you once took part of? No matter what it is, you must
target what that thing or things are. Once you have accomplished that
assignment, you should then turn your focus on what you believe is the cause of
you partial loss of yourself. When did this losing yourself take place? Was it
after you got involved in a relationship? After you got married? Perhaps after
you started a new job somewhere? Learning about when and what caused you to let
yourself go will play the main role in leading you to re-discovering yourself.
Acknowledging
that there is something missing and what caused its disappearance is the
biggest step, not to mention the most important. Without the acknowledgment,
you would still be clueless! It is very common for people to replace their
feelings of losing themselves with thoughts telling them that they did not lose
themselves, but they just changed. Get in close tough with yourself and make
sure you are clear about whether you really have changed, or if you are just in
denial. Feel it is difficult to detect the difference? Do not give up!
If
you unsure about it, do not give up, but just go back a few steps. Go back a
few steps to the place where you pin pointed exactly what it is about you that
you feel you lost. When you get there, ask yourself it the loss actually
bothers you. If it is something you think about often, wishing that you could
be that way again but cannot seem to get there, then you are definitely in need
of re-discovery. If you feel that it is something you used to do, but is simply
a past version of yourself, then you are fine and should just let it go and
concentrate on moving on with your present life.
