I decided to do a series of blog posts called “Know Yourself.” Really, it’s about me getting to know myself, but maybe it will help others. I’d like to think it might.
Through the years I’ve become aware of certain truths about myself that I cannot change. They’re just who I am at my core. However much I might wish I could change. This series will cover different aspects of me and will work on helping me to accept and work with my natural tendencies rather than fight them.
Topics will include (not necessarily in this order):
- Time Management
- Organization
- Household chores
- Creativity
- Exercise
- Diet/Nutrition
- Leisure Time
- Weekly Planning
- Goal Setting
- Conflict
- Relationships
This idea came to me when I realized that my mood had been effected by my lack of exercise the last few weeks. (I’ll go into why I wasn’t exercising in a later post.) I realized that while I know certain things to be true about myself, I often try to convince myself that I can change. And ultimately my attempts fail. I feel like it’s time to look into ways to work with myself rather than fight a losing battle.
Join me as I explore my own truths and perhaps dive into your own. I’d love to have comments from you about your experience in these areas as they come up and what has worked for you. We are all different and my experience will not resonate with everyone. Let’s start a discussion about being true to our personal nature, rather than trying to fit into a box someone else has created.
