How to Get to Know Yourself in 5 Fool-Proof Steps

Knowing yourself

Living a lie comes out sooner or later.

The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~Anais Nin

When I read this quote first, I felt something tighten in my heart.

I was still at my corporate job in a past life, living in total conflict with my core values, and still denying the reality of the situation. It took a simple phrase to snap me out of my coma and help me see how I had created my own agony: By denying who I am.

And for what? So I could go on being someone else to impress people I don’t care about for reasons that don’t matter? It isn’t worth living a lie and being untrue to who you are, no matter how crazy, how eccentric, how uncommon, how different you may be.

You are who you are. The earlier in life you accept this and get on with it, the easier and sweeter you shall live out your days.

Let’s start embracing it instead of hiding it under the covers.

As for me, when the lie became so blatantly obvious, I accepted who I am, quit my cushy job, started my online business, created my dream lifestyle and have never looked back.

A secret I didn’t even know: You won’t miss the lie you are living, because living true to yourself is the real paradise.

This kickstarted the beginning of a self-discovery journey that I share with you here: How to get to know yourself and how to have the courage to live life as exactly who you were meant to be, being true to your core values, and coming to peace with it all.

How well do you know yourself? Ready to find out?

First, I invite you to answer these 29 questions to discover the real you.

Why You Must Experience the Korean Spa At Least Once

There are few things I feel confident saying this about: You haven’t lived yet until you have fully experienced a real Korean Spa, one run by Koreans and (primarily) for Koreans, although thankfully they let us “foreigners” in with a lovely smile.

This was my fourth time back at the heaven-in-disguise 24-hour 7-days-a-week Korean spa, the fabulous Spa World of Centreville VA. I knew my way around by now. We pay the $35/person fee gladly and get a cubbyhole each in the lobby for our shoes. No slippers, you go barefoot from here on out. Locker numbers: 2295 for me and 1106 for hubby. We then get our uniforms, orange for women, yellow for men and are set to go in. [Read more…] about 7 Surprising Life Lessons You Learn Fast at the Korean Spa
