In the midst of a world that is so noisy and busy, how to find yourself must be done from within. Some ways that can be done as a reflection to find one's identity are to do reflection and personal evaluation of oneself and existing relationships.

It's not an exaggeration when someone calls himself on a journey to find identity. The process of self-discovery is not easy because of many factors and is definitely full of trial and error. However, when someone has succeeded in finding their identity, a person will be more confident, know what the purpose of life is, and can have more impact on those around him.

It is not the age that becomes the benchmark for when someone is successful in finding identity. Some are old and still doing searches, on the other hand, there are teenagers or children who have grown up who already know their true identity. Everything could not happen instantaneously, had to go through various steep roads beforehand.

How to find identity

In the midst of a world that is so noisy and busy, how to find yourself must be done from within. Some ways that can be done as a reflection to find yourself are:

1. Find a moment to be quiet

No one will be able to find his identity without giving himself time to be quiet. With silence, a person can hear what his soul says as well as carry out an honest self-evaluation. This is a moment of reflection to hear what is really being pursued, without being influenced by the hustle and bustle around.

2. Realize who you are

(see the truth)

What often haunts the process of self-discovery is a dream. To be able to find yourself, put all dreams in the future aside. It's important to know who you really are, not what you want to be in the next few years.

If it's difficult, start by doing a personality test so you can identify your strengths and weaknesses. Indeed, this kind of test will not perfectly reveal all aspects of yourself, but at least it can focus on what can be strengthened so that it can become an impactful person.

3. Find the advantages and disadvantages

Still in line with the way to find identity above, this is the most difficult stage. Try to find your own strengths and weaknesses. Usually, it takes a few times for you to really find your strengths and weaknesses. Characteristics are things that make you feel excited and want to do more, that's a sign of strength that can be a capital to find yourself.

4. Ask other people's opinions

The ability to receive opinions or feedback from others is not controlled by everyone. Find someone you can trust to share your honest opinion. Ask what needs to be improved and what strengths could be developed even better.

This stage is very important in the process of looking for identity, especially when you feel bored of not finding who you really are. Sometimes, the people closest to you can help see things that you can't find yourself.

5. Reflection of the relationship

One aspect that can help in the process of finding identity can be seen in the relationship that is currently being undertaken. Not only personal relationships with partners, but also relationships with coworkers, superiors, friends, and others.

Through this reflection, a person can know what kind of figure he is in the eyes of others. Not only that, this can be an asset to face the biggest fear in life and defeat it with a clearer life purpose. Focusing on your own strength will help make a bigger impact on those around you.

6. Understand the past

(remembering the journey of life)

To be able to find identity, one must understand the past that he experienced. Try to be brave to explore the past. This is a stepping stone to understanding how the person you are today is formed. It could be that past trauma hinders the process of self-discovery.

This also relates to the situation whether a person has a troubled inner child or not in the past. Without realizing it, the troubled inner child will shape a person's behavior from present to future. Making peace with the past can be a way to reveal a side of oneself that is still shackled by past trauma.

The process of finding one's self will not run smoothly. It takes several stages to be able to recognize yourself, from making peace with the past to asking the closest person about a picture of yourself.

After finding identity, a person can maximize what he can do. Not only for yourself, but also for the world.
