We are all struggling to figure out who we truly are. Often when were defining ourselves we focus on the negative or how we compare to other people. Nobody but you can define who you are but this article has some tips on how to look at the ways you define yourself and how to make it positive. Selfknowledge, particularly nonjudgmental self knowledge, is incredibly important skill to help you define yourself. Youll need to understand what makes you tick and what your thought processes are before you can define who you are as a person. Mindfulness means paying attention to what you are thinking and observing your patterns of thought. For instance, you might realize that you have a tendency to feel that people dont care what you think and that your opinions are unimportant. Recognizing that you have these thoughts and catching them before they start causing you anxiety, can help you piece together the important parts of your identity. When you start paying attention to your thought processes and patterns youll need to practice attentive nonjudgment. This means being aware of your thought patterns and acknowledging them, but NOT beating yourself up over them. Everyone has negative thought patterns and processes. By paying attention to them, you can eliminate them from your mind.
