8 ways to find yourself in your 20's

To meet yourself is the most important thing to do. You have to find yourself first in order to do this. That's what your 20's are for. It's the first time where you begin to test life as you begin to figure out who you're all about. But it doesn't stop there and isn't supposed to stop there. 

Here are 8 ways to find yourself so you can meet who you actually are:

1. Sit with your feelings

Sitting with your feelings allows you to grow mentally and spiritually. Treat the bad feelings like the flu and know that they will pass if you take care of it. Embrace the good feelings as if they will last forever knowing that they will soon go away. By not blocking your feelings, you can allow yourself to meet yourself by seeing what you are willing to live with and live without.

2. Follow your energy

Your energy is an impulse that leads you to who you are trying to become. Even if you don't know what your purpose is, you have one. These impulses will guide you and the more you do Step 1, the more you will be able to understand what feels right or wrong. Following your energy will continually introduce you to new versions of yourself as you advance in life as they always put you in uncomfortable situations for growth. Fear is defeated by energy which allows you to keep meeting yourself.

3. Laugh at yourself

Laugh at yourself. Period. Life is an experience and if you cannot do this, you will burn out quickly.

4. Realize the power of labels

We need to be true to our designs no matter what. Your design is your innate self and who you are. It is you and all of the things you love. The world will try to tell you who you are with labels but that is not you. If you associate with labels, they will block you from meeting yourself.

5. Ask "Why?"

The greatest gift we have is to ask "Why" and to question. When you ask Why, it pushes you forward. We're not meant to stay in one position. We're meant to learn and progress even if we don't like what we find. This is a journey to meet yourself and the Why introduces this.

6. Keep an open mind

When you have an open mind, you're able to embrace other thoughts and opinions which will help you advance in your journey to meet yourself. New solutions and new outlooks on life give ways in how to meet yourself. A new thought could be the catalyst to see yourself more clearly.

7. Appreciate what you have

When you are appreciative of all the things you have, nothing else will worry you. With practice, this gives space to appreciate yourself and meet yourself. 

8. Operate with love

Always operate with love. You have experienced love and do not need another person to show you this. When you operate with love, everything clicks and it feels right. There is no second guessing. When you meet yourself, you find there's nothing but love. Only love can show you this and this is the only way to actually live.
