When people try to understand themselves, they make a famous mistake, which is looking at the situation superficially without taking into account that our habits, behaviors, and experiences in life are all connected to each other, so that one cannot be understood without taking the rest into account.
In this article, I will explain how you can understand yourself by looking at the whole picture instead of analyzing a single component.
Self-understanding and the big picture
There was a boy who had problems in his work because of his always late arrival, and when we began to analyze his situation, we found that he arrives late to his work because he wakes up late because he did not sleep before three in the morning, and when we delved deeper into his life, we found that he spends his time at night on pages Elvis, he is trying to attract attention and make himself more important because his self-confidence is weak!!
That is, the main reason that this person arrives at work late is his lack of self-confidence.
Analyze yourself properly until you understand it
The superficial analysis of that boy’s condition would have been something like, “He should sleep early or not stay up late,” but when we looked deeper, we found that the problem was one of self-confidence!!
You have to know that looking at the whole picture like we did is the only way to understand yourself properly.
Observing thoughts and understanding oneself
One of the best ways that will enable you to understand yourself in a correct way is to understand your thoughts. Many people feel different feelings without paying attention to the steps that took place before they felt those feelings.
For example, before you feel shy, it is certain that some negative thoughts will be present in your mind, which will lead to shyness.
It was found that feelings do not occur without being preceded by certain thoughts, and accordingly, you can control your feelings in a large way once you learn how to monitor your thoughts, in addition to your ability to understand your thoughts correctly, you will also find yourself understanding your feelings and their causes in a very large way.
After you master this skill, you will find yourself understanding others better. One of the best ways to understand others is to understand yourself first in a correct way. At first, you will find that monitoring your thoughts is a difficult task, but with continuous effort, you will master this skill and become easy for you.
