This is definitely the most important point in the mental health of a person when you start to understand that the little things that you often overlook can play the biggest part in bringing about mental stability that you have been craving for a very long time.
Your whole movement (Body and Mind) gets in total sync with your projections. Transforming your whole life into a hub of creativity, contentment, harmony, beauty, compassion, total bliss, confidence, and high power.
The knowledge that rids your mind of things like anger, greed, pride, and perhaps deceit is that of “self-realization”. We are not just humans having a mental/spiritual experience in this world but in the real sense, we are all created as spiritual beings with a vast mental capacity but having a human experience. Your internal happiness becomes paramount in a cheerful way, your consciousness starts to rise to a level never before felt. Maturing away from rationalization, fear of commitment, anxiety starts becoming foreign to you.
The awakening or growing in self-realization potentially helps you see the fault in your ways but in a positive light. You will then be able to start analyzing how you can approach situations better and ultimately grow your mind, transforming it from a futile land of miserable thoughts to space where only great ideas and happy emotions dwell.
Now, let’s look at a few characteristics that define self realizing people.
1. Self-realized people are motivated by the unknown and the ambiguous Accepting uncertainty, seeing opportunities in the unknown, and being interested in the occasional ambiguities of life are aspects that shape this open and flexible mind. A mind that is capable of adapting to the most complex situations.
Nothing is as important to your growth and the investment in your potential as being sensitive to new information. You must be receptive to approaches different from your own and to what your environment can offer.
2. An objective appreciation of reality
This dimension that perfectly defines self-realized people is not very useful. We don’t see it too often in our everyday contexts and in those around us. Even more, we may not be able to be objective when it comes to everything that surrounds us. Most of us are subject to judgments, stereotypes, and biases of appreciation. We also need to learn to be a little more equanimous, more humble, and receptive to our surroundings.
If we were a little more objective and got rid of many judgments… we would look at reality differently.
3. They are unconventional people, but also humble
Self-realized people have their own identity. Their own brand, charisma, and a light capable of inspiring others. They have created themselves through a process in which they’ve learned to accept themselves, with their virtues and defects. They’re clear on their priorities and how to achieve their goals in life.
They know what they want and enjoy being authentic. These people behave at all times with that perfect art where one is not afraid to show the world just as one is. But, at the same time, they know how to respect others and get the best out of them.
4. Self-realized people are motivated by growth, not by satisfying their needs
Day-to-day many of us deal with the needs that occupy the lowest rungs of Maslow’s pyramid. Namely, employment, a house a good partner, solid friendships… However, there is something else we should think about.
Our lifestyle and current society generate an inertia. All of these dimensions oscillate, change, transform… Few things are safe. Jobs come and go. Friends are sometimes left behind as are fabulous people we just met, who connect us vividly to life…
Therefore, it’s not necessary to have “secured” the lower steps of that pyramid in order to ascend to the summit. The ideal thing would be to achieve good self-realization so that we may face all of those basic processes of affiliation and security in a more mature and inclusive way. Self-realized people focus more on their own growth, on understanding that sometimes there are complex moments. But, with the appropriate psychological strategies, any adversity can be overcome.
