Answer:

How To Learn About Yourself

BY STEPHEN WARLEY

One of the hardest questions in life to answer is “What do you want to do?”

Especially when you have no idea what you want to do or you are going through a transition. I can’t tell you how many times I flubbed through that question.

It’s also tough to respond to that question even when you really do know what you want to do with your life but aren’t doing it yet because you don’t know how to make it happen.

It’s a very simple question, but yet it’s tough for many of us to answer. Ever wonder why?

I believe that question causes us so much agony because as a social species we don’t like disappointing other people. We want to feel accepted. We are hard-wired for it.

When you give someone an answer you think they want to hear, you might satisfy your feelings for social acceptance, but you still end up disappointing someone: yourself.

Quite a paradox, isn’t it?

You aren’t being honest with yourself because you didn’t give yourself permission to be your true self. Not a fun feeling.

You’ll never confidently answer that question until you make the time to start systematically learning about yourself.

But how do you even get started with something as broad as “learning about yourself”? As big a topic as it is, getting started with it doesn’t have to be hard.

If you’re feeling lost, this post will show you how to learn about yourself and why it’s so important to lifestyle design.

Designing Your Lifestyle: Step #1

There are endless reasons why people want to transform their lives.

You might be motivated to get out of debt, become financially independent, gain more control over your life, spend more time with family, travel more, focus more on your passion or reduce your stress (like me).

Regardless of your motivation, I believe the process of transforming your life begins by making your work, work for you.

To understand how you want to work, you first need to learn about yourself. It’s the most important subject you never learned.

Most people attempt lifestyle design by modeling themselves after someone else. But to me, this seems completely backward. I believe lifestyle design is about accepting who you are and aligning your needs with your purpose, not copying some online guru or lifestyle design “expert.”

The more you learn about yourself, the better equipped you’ll be to design a lifestyle truly unique to your values, needs, abilities and motivations.

Especially if you are considering working for yourself, you need to get to know yourself first. I can’t tell you how many entrepreneurs build a business seeking more freedom, but end up completely miserable because they built a business out of alignment with their work needs.

Your life is a huge and vast subject. There’s lots to know. Here are the key “subjects” I believe you need to know to successfully design your lifestyle around more satisfying work.

1. Your Personal Productivity

How would you like to work? What have you always wanted to do for work? Why do you work? I’m giving you permission to answer those questions as honestly as possible.

We’ve all been taught to work in a way that might not seem natural to us as individuals. I think many of us don’t like working because we don’t work in a way that makes sense to us.
