Hey dear reader
Do you ever wonder Who you actually are?
Admittedly, this question may be a bit strange now and seems a bit far-fetched when you read this … while you are actually working hard, or busy with the laundry and pee and maybe also a crying baby or a few whining kids around you. Who knows, you might be multitasking and you quickly work in a lunch while you are with a colleagues is paulating and in the meantime reads this message on your smart phone discreetly. Or maybe you are peering on your screen with your dependent parent in the doctor’s waiting room. Whatever.
From this preoccupation with the daily things of life, you naturally go quickly answer automatically: I am …, … years old, child of …, parent of …, whether or not married or living together with …, living in …, studied for …. as a profession I do … and my hobbys are … and so on.
Maybe you can make a page-long list of personality traits of yourself in no time.
However, the key question is: does this indicate who you really are?
Yes and no. You have only collected individual pieces of yourself through words. But the full version of you remains out of view, even if you write a trilogy full of facts about your identity. What is still missing If you really had to collect all the data about yourself (if that were already possible)?
The answer is as simple as it is mysterious: the most essential of you, or that what you really do Irreplaceable and unique yourselfmakes. This essential uniqueness cannot be put into words. Just take the example of a rose. On the internet you will find all possible botanical, cultural-historical and medicinal characteristics of this popular flower. But do you honor what a rose is actually essential and what makes it so unique and majestic? Unfortunately not! The most essential thing about the queen of flowers escapes because it is fleeting and cannot be put into words. When I think of a rose, I already smell the rich sweet, powdered scent and the delicate floral taste of the rose brews that I make with it, accompanied by a blissful feeling in which I can completely forget the clock time. So it is no longer about this knowing what a rose is just about my direct EXPERIENCE from and contact With that rose. A wonderful total experience in which I directly and wordlessly perceive the most essential and unique of the flower!
Now let’s switch back to you. You knows Undoubtedly who you are. But as for the rose: Feel You who you are too? How often do you have the direct EXPERIENCE of your most essential me? How often do you really feel at home with yourself? The hectic life of everyday life usually stands in the way of this feeling. You often lose yourself in everything you know about yourself, your so-called identity. You are completely absorbed in your role as a parent, partner, employee / entrepreneur, caregiver, student, etc. In short, in all expectations and must be accompanied by all those roles that you have to play. You don’t get around to you, as it wereReal selfBecause you cling to your more superficial, hectic self.
That real self (produce your own word for it, such as soul, beings core, higher self …) is actually your most creative part that expresses itself wordlessly. It requires slowing and attention, to be polite and fed. You then descend, as it were, into a deep inner space where you usually do not come, but in which you feel oh so at home and where you really feel self Comes. They are intense moments of intimate connection of you with yourself, moments of creative self-expression of who you are deeply.
It will not surprise you that inserting such moments is essential, both for your mental and physical well-being. You get figuratively but also literally more oxygen – you will breathe deeper and fuller. Your social well-being also benefits, because your loved ones eagerly enjoy it if you really become the best version of yourself, by feeling and feeding your most true self more. This can be inserted in all kinds of ways into everyday life, eg through meditation or prayer, cooking, painting, making music, writing poems, making herbal brews, gardening, etc.
However, it is also healthy to take a distance from daily life and in a more intense way the intimateSoul bandwith yourself, so that you afterwards in your daily activities don’t lose yourself so quickly anymore.
For that you can take a vacation, to be able to view your life better, to literally distance yourself from the roles that you carry with you, and to gain strength in a natural environment in order to discover and experience yourself again.
