In last week’s blog, we looked at events in your past and how they led to the development of a false self. This week, we are going to take a look at your present. The purpose of this blog is to help you “see” your life so you can find your true self.

We will begin to determine what feels good and satisfying to you. We also need to identify things in your life that contribute to feeling bad about yourself, and that prevent you from finding your true self. We will use this information as well as what you discovered last week to create a more satisfying life.

Questions To Help You “See” What Is Happening In And Around You:

  1. Make a list of the people in your life.

  2. As you think about each person, ask yourself, “Do I like them and enjoy being with them?” Why or why not?

  3. Make a list of the activities in your life.
