The Self-Discovery Digest

In the United States, we celebrate the 4th of July as Independence Day. This holiday is very dear to us Americans because it is an enduring symbol of our ideals and a time to re-commit to living them - but you do not need to be a U.S. citizen to appreciate these sentiments. The Declaration of Independence states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all [people] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Such an important mandate - why not apply it to our personal lives?

Consider the questions below then create your very own Declaration of Independence.

• What are your personal truths?
• How do you define liberty and a life worth living?
• Are there people or things that are affecting your sense of freedom or your pursuit of happiness - either positively or negatively?
• Can you find the courage to take a stand for what matters to you even if this is unpopular with certain significant people or institutions in your life?

Fill in the blanks to craft your Declaration of Independence.

I hold these truths to be self-evident (choose three):
________________________________________________.

I define happiness with these qualities (choose three):
________________________________________________.

I create happiness in my life with these people and activities (choose three):
________________________________________________.

I recommit to cultivating my sense of liberty and happiness in these ways (choose three):
________________________________________________.

Self-Discovery Tool Number 12
Celebrate what's special about your contribution to the world by living your own unique version of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We typically associate travel with leaving home, spending money, and doing a great deal of planning. Travel is something most of us enjoy but tend to engage in less often than we’d like because of the real or perceived effort involved. Yet travel can be more accessible to us and simpler to arrange than we might imagine. We would like to redefine the notion of travel and suggest that meaningful journeys can take many forms – including those that can take place in your living room, cost no money, and do not require an itinerary. After all, isn’t travel really about experiencing new vantage points, trying out new behaviors, and discovering new parts of yourself as well as the world?

Here are a few easy ways to incorporate the essence of travel into your life:

• Take a new route home even if it takes a little longer.

• Sit at a different place at the dinner table, sleep on a different side of the bed, read in a different chair.

• Re-arrange your furniture or living space.

• Get some fresh air: take advantage of a local green space, picnic in the park, go on a garden tour.

• Meet your friends and family in a new spot: skip the usual places.

• Try a restaurant or cook a cuisine that seems exotic to you.

• Visit a local attraction that you had previously disdained as “only for tourists.”

• Attend a worship service different than your own.

• See a movie with subtitles, or attend a cultural event new to you.

• Search the Internet and travel books for stories, photos, and maps of intriguing parts of the world.

Travel means exploring unknown territory and taking paths not taken before, therefore it may feel a bit awkward at first. Bear with it – just as when in a foreign country you may feel challenged by the unfamiliar, you will need to be patient with the process and give yourself the time and space to be a novice. Approached with this spirit, your little journeys can offer you new opportunities for renewed energy, greater self-awareness, and FUN!

Self-Discovery Tool Number 9
Are there simple journeys you can take to enrich and enliven your day-to-day existence? How might you increase your zest for life by taking a new trip, whether all the way to the next county or simply to a part of your neighborhood that you don’t typically frequent? Embrace the true essence of travel – make the choice to get to know yourself and your world anew by doing something out of the ordinary!

The arrival of spring offers plentiful examples of growth and renewal. To take advantage of this energy, we need to focus not only on cultivating new ways of being and doing, but also on pruning away what may no longer be nourishing. Take a look at your habits and patterns and consider trimming those that have the potential to stunt your growth.

Releasing outdated ways of living can make you feel like you’re fighting through a thicket of dead wood. However, until you separate what is healthy from what is sapping your strength, you will find that your efforts produce only a meager harvest. Eliminating ideas, things, relationships, etc. that are no longer useful gives you the energy and room to focus on those things that are sustaining, joyful, and truly important.

Here are few ideas for taking stock of what to tend carefully and what to toss onto the compost pile:

• When spending time with a significant other (from work, family, etc) or doing a typical activity, does this fill you with joy?

• If someone asked you to recommend this person or activity, would you be able to do so?

• When you spend time and effort on this person or activity, do you feel energized?

• Are you eager for the next time you will see this person or engage in this activity?

• Is your commitment to this person or activity something you are looking to expand and deepen?

If you can’t truthfully answer yes to the above questions, you may want to limit the time you spend with that person or taking part in that activity. Begin to weed out relationships, tasks and commitments that are no longer constructive to make room for those things you want to see grow and expand. Further, consider what things you want to introduce into your “garden” for the first time. Give yourself permission to feel hopeful about these new developments. Make the extra daylight hours count by creating space in your life for fresh growth.

Self-Discovery Tool Number 9
Examine the people and activities that fill your life – which of these deserve a bit of extra attention and which might be best set aside? Choose one person or activity that you want to decrease your involvement. Choose one person or activity that you want to increase your involvement. Make a commitment to enact these changes and have your best spring yet!

Are you sometimes worried about where your life is headed – as though walking in unfamiliar territory without a map? At times do you feel confused about what is really important? We would love to be able to reassure you – and ourselves – that there is some profound, definitive answer or series of steps that can guarantee a sense of security and a life well lived. Unfortunately, life provides no sure bets and no ironclad directions. There is something within us, however, something we often overlook, that can be a compass for navigating our life journey. That compass is our values.

In order to tap into the power and guidance of this compass, you need to identify what matters most to you, what your personal values are, distinct from those that your culture suggests you should hold. This can be challenging for we are bombarded daily with messages exhorting us to place value on, and measure ourselves, in terms of things like:

• Money
• Material Success
• Good looks
• Flat Abs
• Knowing the “right people”
• Having a well-appointed home and a luxury car

But if you look within and listen to your heart of hearts, you can identify what you really care about. With this awareness you can use your personal values as a compass to orient your passage through life. Individual values are more likely to be things such as:

• Integrity
• Kindness
• Generosity
• Loyalty
• Resilience
• Curiosity

Some of us – maybe even you – might be lucky enough to have money, physical beauty, connections, etc. Yet every single one of us can have the good fortune of self-respect if we follow our compass. Don’t get lost in the dead-end pursuit of what doesn’t truly matter (and perhaps is not even attainable). Use these lists as a starting point to help you define for yourself what you sincerely value as well as what you do not. Get the direction, reinforcement, and assurance that only your personal compass can provide.

Self-Discovery Tool Number 8
Make a list of your values – what direction does your own compass point? Is your time and effort spent wisely in support of your values or are you too focused on values that come from others? How might your life improve if you followed your personal compass more often?

It is healing to know that we are not alone – that others have gone before us, facing difficulties and experiencing joys that reflect to our experience as human beings. During this time of change and economic flux it is helpful to know that we can survive, and if we are lucky, even thrive during times of challenge. With this spirit, we offer four books that capture various dimensions of the human condition. We hope they inspire you as much as they have us.

Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories That Heal by Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D.
New York: Riverhead Books. 1996.

Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories That Heal s an easy-to-read book packed with down-to-earth stories that offer profound insights into the mind-body-soul connection. From her experience as a doctor and professor, and as someone who herself suffers from a chronic illness, Remen shares real-life examples of the power of healing even in the most difficult of circumstances. Those who have met with any kind of illness, grief, or anguish, or who have cared for others facing these difficulties, will find this book a truly comforting and engaging read.

The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom by Slavomir Rawicz
Guilford, CT: The Lyons Press. 1997

The Long Walk is the gripping true-life account of Polish Cavalry Lieutenant Slavomir Rawicz’s imprisonment by, and escape from, Soviet captors during War World II. Rawicz was able to withstand grievous torture – mental, emotional, and physical – and somehow keep his faculties intact and escape with several others on foot in a harrowing journey from the Siberian Arctic through the Himalayan mountains and finally to rescue by Allied forces in India. The losses and setbacks Rawicz faced would seem insurmountable to most of us, yet this book reminds us of the simple power of determination. The Long Walk can offer us perspective on our worries and problems, and hopefully encourage us to apply a little more persistence to handling our own dilemmas.

What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life by James Hollis
New York: Gotham, 2008

James Hollis’s latest book is a call to explore who we are – the good and the bad – and to risk giving ourselves permission “step into largeness” and become all we could be, rather than who our family, our roles, and/or our cultural programming suggests we should be. With stories from his practice and examples drawn from popular culture, he shows us ways to strike back at fear and lethargy, at feeling beleaguered and abandoned, and to find a path that is dynamic, enriching, and brings our best selves more fully to life. Read Hollis’ book to build the courage needed to seek change and thereby bring healing, meaning, and satisfaction into your life.

Sharing Wisdom: The Practical Art of Giving and Receiving Mentoring by Robert J. Wicks
New York: The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2000

Wicks’ book is organized into 40 short chapters, each focusing on one attribute that makes for good mentoring – humor, respect – and he enlivens these concepts with stories of how they have played out in his experience as a mentor and as someone receiving mentoring. Why include this book in a blog on self-discovery? Because, as Wicks puts it, “one of the major undertakings in a mentoring relationship is also primary for those interested in a process of self-understanding and self-appreciation: We need to ensure that we have ‘safe, friendly forces’ in our lives.” Wicks himself is such a force. Read this book and bring some of his positive energy into your self-discovery process.

We hope these selections will bring you hope, solace, and an opportunity to see your life in new ways. Perhaps you have favorite selections of your own – why not re-read those classics as well as recommend them to others? Isn’t it a relief to be reminded that at a fundamental level, we’re all in this together?! Spread the word!

Self-Discovery Tool Number 7
How can being a consumer of inspiring and uplifting stories (via books, movies, or other media) improve your outlook? What is one thing you could do differently that is motivated by what you have read or seen?

This week the United States honored past leaders by celebrating Presidents' Day, and with a new president in office, leadership is a hot topic. While Barack Obama is America’s chief “Decider,” he doesn’t make his decisions alone. Obama and other leaders usually have a team of people – a leadership circle – bringing special skills and areas of expertise together to make sound decisions. Since most of us don’t have our own cabinet or staff, we have to rely upon ourselves to navigate life’s challenges. This is not necessarily a bad thing – with a little creative imagining, we can tap into internal resources we may not have realized we had to strengthen our decision making.

Give this a go: imagine that you have your own internal leadership circle to support you. What attributes might your circle have? How might you surface and call upon these different aspects of yourself to help you make better decisions? Use the leadership styles below as a starting point to appoint your own inner leadership circle.

Healer
Having the Healer on your internal leadership team helps you to tap into things that nourish and sustain your growth and development. When you activate the Healer during decision making, you seek solutions that rejuvenate the self and reject those that reinforce negative feelings or thought patterns.

Champion
Having the Champion on your internal leadership team assists you in establishing and fighting for you own needs. When you activate the Champion during decision making, you search for solutions that protect your self esteem and reject those that thwart exercising your personal power.

Scientist
Having the Scientist on your internal leadership team offers you the opportunity to the study consequences of your thoughts and actions. When you activate the Scientist during decision making, you focus on solutions that offer you the greatest benefits and reject those that will cause you to incur high personal costs.

Mystic
Having the Mystic on your internal leadership team allows you to tap into deeper meanings, to seek a vision and purpose to guide your behaviors. When you activate the Mystic during decision making, you look beyond the surface for solutions that allow you to be authentic and reject those that require you to compromise your values and principles.

Part of self-discovery is becoming more familiar with your habitual decision-making approaches. Who is sitting in your internal leadership circle? Are they serving you effectively? Over-reliance on a single mode of decision making, even if successful or comfortable, most likely means you are missing something!

Self-Discovery Tool Number 6
Is it time to be bringing new members into your inner leadership circle? How can the Healer, Champion, Scientist, and Mystic – or leaders of your own imagining – help you to decide to get more of what you want in life?

January is nearly over – the post-New Year’s rut has set in and we feel our motivation sag. We start to question whether we deserve better lives, happiness, or a sense of wellbeing. How can we pull out of this self-defeating slide toward complacency and negativity?

Start by doing one simple thing today that makes you feel happy. Buy fresh flowers or a plant, watch a favorite TV show whether it’s highbrow or not, use that nice perfume, lotion, or grooming product that you have been saving for a special occasion. Be a little late, stop for coffee, see how well the world survives without you and how much better you feel for having taken a break. Ask your spouse to take care of the dry cleaning, the dinner, or the kids. Single? Celebrate the fact that you have no one to answer to and head out to the driving range, attend a concert, go to a book signing, or participate in a community event on the spur of the moment. Seems simple, right? But how often do we actually honor what it is we really enjoy? We find all sorts of reasons why we can’t do what we like now, or why it doesn’t really matter, or why whatever we desire is selfish, frivolous, or foolish. How easy it is dismiss our inner longing, our inner voice, ourselves!

Just imagine – if everyone began to honor what it is that brings them joy, we would no doubt have a happier community and world. Do you feel like fighting after you’ve just engaged in something that brings you joy? Do you feel like hurting someone else after you have just nurtured your true self? No. Following your bliss really is a caring act. Do everyone a favor – start savoring what makes life wonderful in some small way today. Do it for yourself. Do it for the benefits to others. Do it for all of us who are struggling to give ourselves permission to do the same. It is truly preventive community medicine!

Self-Discovery Tool Number Five
With new appreciation of the community-wide benefits – what are some simple ways you can activate your heart’s desire?

Welcome to 2009!

The New Year is traditionally a time for self-examination and committing to life changes. Whatever the changes and however desirable they may be, we often discover that it is difficult to sustain them. Here are a few suggestions to help you formulate and maintain your resolutions.

Build on what is already working
Making sweeping changes via cutting edge techniques has a certain appeal, yet it is often more effective to pick out things that you want to retain instead. What do you like about your life? What do you like about what you are doing? By making a list of these things, you may find that you are already doing some terrific things that enhance your life and development – commit to keep doing them. In fact, consider doing some of these things even more often. And this is something to feel good about because these are things you already know how to do!

Map out multiple ways to achieve the same goal
If the first thing you try doesn’t bring the results you are seeking, combine the approach with other methods to see if that jump starts things. Have different alternatives at hand that you can activate immediately. Then, if you get bored with an approach, even if it has been successful, you can shift to another mode and preserve your momentum.

Reward yourself along the way
Don’t delay gratification; don’t wait for the big pay-off. As part of your resolution plan, decide on small milestones at which you can reward yourself for achieving tangible results. Do not underestimate the power of acknowledging and celebrating your accomplishments to keep things fun and moving forward. Rewarding the effort is what makes change possible and successful.

Enlist others
In addition to receiving needed support, making your commitment public can strengthen your sense of accountability. Find a method that suits your style: partner with a family member or friend; take a class; join an online community; consult an advisor; or find a mentor who can offer advice and encouragement. While you’re at it, return the favor and reach out to others who might need some reassurance as they try to achieve their goals. Goodwill to and from others is mutually affirming and promotes everyone’s success.

Self-Discovery Tool Number Four
What is one simple thing you could do today to change your life for the better? Hint: go for fun, low stakes changes rather than attempting a total life makeover – commit to walk a 5K rather than to run a marathon and then if you find you can do more, do more!

There’s nothing like the holidays to bring out the best and worst in ourselves. Perspective this time of year can truly be a gift. One thing that can help us understand and appreciate the ups and downs of our life journey is to devise a self-discovery image. Images, unlike words, spring from beyond the intellect, from a deeper, more essential part of our nature, and help us to see more clearly the rewards and challenges of personal growth. Here are some fun, everyday images we hope will inspire you to envision and honor your own path of self-discovery.

Self-discovery is like a shopping trip.
• It gives us a chance to try on a variety of ways of being until we find one that’s just our size.
• It reminds us that while experts may have a sense of what’s trendy, we need to shop around for a style that is uniquely our own.
• It requires us to return those “must have�? items that turned out to be a bad fit.
• It demands we keep track of basic staples that matter to our well-being – our values, beliefs, and desires – and prompts us to make sure we replenish them.

Self-discovery is like a musical performance.
• It makes us recognize the need for internal harmony – getting all parts of ourselves in tune and in time with the rhythm our lives
• It offers us the opportunity to make choices about what to continue playing and what old standards no longer suit us
• It pushes to acknowledge our strengths and commit to extra practice in areas that are less developed to create a richer and wider-ranging repertoire
• It requires us to sing our own song even if the applause is limited to a few die-hard fans

Self-discovery is like an adventure vacation.
• It offers us the opportunity to explore places that are new and exotic
• It requires us to gear up and trust that we are equipped to go the distance
• It shows us that what’s exciting and different isn’t necessarily comfortable
• It compels us to rethink our route as roadblocks, detours, and unanticipated excursions present themselves

You get the picture – give yourself permission to shop around, perform your music, and make the most of your adventure. Try looking at things from a new vantage point. Foster your creative, playful side and craft your own image. Express yourself – perfection NOT required!

Self-Discovery Tool Number Three
How can you capture what self-discovery feels like to you? How could you use this image to celebrate who you are and make real who you hope to become?

Many of the things that make us feel good come from others:

• Affection from a spouse/significant other
• Support from friends
• Praise from a boss or colleagues
• Recognition for special talents and qualities
• Compliments from those we admire

While these are wonderful things, relying on them to make ourselves feel worthwhile and happy can be a risky proposition. Relationships break up, friends move away, jobs end, special skills become obsolete. Even if we are fortunate enough to have these things remain constant in our lives, sometimes those around us can’t or don’t appreciate our worth, contributions, or unique beauty. If we wait for validation from others, it might not come.

But we can increase our sense of well-being by taking charge of our joy. This is one of the most empowering self-discoveries – happiness can be within our grasp if we choose to reach out for it. We can be thankful and experience gratitude for what is within our control and influence. With this in mind, here are a few simple things that make the two of us smile and remind us to be grateful:

• Appreciating the beauty of a sunrise or sunset
• Choosing to wear a favorite color
• Calling an old friend and catching up
• Dining by candlelight regardless of occasion
• Dancing and singing to cherished music
• Baking cookies
• Reading aloud to a child
• Saying “yes�? to things we want and “no�? to things we don’t

We found that just constructing and reflecting on this list made us feel more refreshed, more optimistic and more thankful. And we can assure you that doing these things is even more powerful and fun than thinking about them. Imagine how making time in your life for small joys could increase your happiness. Stop and make a point to take advantage of nature’s splendors – revel in a crisp winter snowfall, say a word of thanks out loud for a beautiful sunset. Proudly wear your favorite color.

Plan an evening with friends, make time for those relationships that might be neglected, do something nice for those who have been a constant presence in your life such as taking your spouse out on a date. Enjoy a candlelit dinner, even if the food is humble, and you are dining solo. Play that music you love. Bake some cookies or buy some and warm them up in the microwave to get that fresh baked feel. Visit with a neighbor child, see your niece, grandchildren, etc., or consciously spend more quality time with your own children.

Do things from a foundation of enthusiasm and joy rather than obligation – say “yes�? to an outing with someone who inspires you and “no�? to a demanding relative. Immerse yourself in small pleasures that are easily within your reach and we think you’ll find that life’s frustrations fade and their power to upset you is diminished. You’ll be grateful you made the choice to nurture your own happiness and foster the Thanksgiving spirit in your everyday life – why limit the appreciation celebration to just one day?!

Self-Discovery Tool Number Two
How might noticing what brings you happiness help clarify what you can do to create a more joyful life? Make a list of things that bring a grateful smile to your face and commit to doing one or two of those things in the next week. Share your list and your commitments with us, share them with others.

If someone were to ask you to describe yourself, how would you respond? If you are like us, you might start with facts about your roles and relationships.

Thus, we might begin by sharing that we are:

• writers
• sisters
• residents of St Paul, Minnesota.

If we wanted to refine this definition of who we are, we might mention that we:

• have advanced degrees
• have training in psychology and education
• help facilitate peoples’ personal and professional growth.

If we stopped there, you would have discovered a little something about who we are, but it would lack a certain depth. Further, rattling off these facts does not require self-reflection. Self-discovery, the topic for this blog, is about seeking to define ourselves in terms of our motivations, beliefs and values. And while factors such as place of residence, career background, and gender certainly play a role in shaping aspects of who we are, they are only some of the many influential factors.

The approach in our posts will be to examine ways of discovering what makes each of us tick as well as what might keep us going. Our aim is to share methods that can be used to explore what makes us unique, what brings us joy, and what makes us feel fulfilled – things that reach deeper than what might fill a resumé, loan application, or birth certificate.

We tend to think that self-discovery has to be the by-product of some momentous change or life-altering event, and sometimes this is the case. However thinking of it in those terms may preclude us from taking advantage of the opportunity to grow from day-to-day life. Instead of waiting for or needing the “big event," join us to explore how everyday moments can evoke realizations about what matters to us. With this spirit in mind, try out the self-discovery tool below.

Self-Discovery Tool Number One
How do you define yourself? When you think about the phrase, "It is important to me that I am…," what are the key words that come to mind? Generous, playful, and forthright? Responsible, kind, and efficient? Share your thoughts with us.
