the characteristics of self actualized people in this video I'm going to give
you three key characteristics that you can adopt as mindsets and as behaviors
so that you can accelerate your self actualization these characteristics have
done wonders not only for my clients but for me as well and make sure you stay
tuned to the end of this video because I'm going to show you a way that you can
get your hands on some free training so that you can take this even deeper what
are some of the characteristics that you recognize in self actualized people that
you would like to embody as well I would love to hear from you let me know in the
comments below the way I see self actualization is it's not a destination
to arrive at it's an ongoing process you will do throughout the rest of your life
where you're making conscious and intentional choices and decisions and
actions and you're also exploring your identity you're exploring other
possibilities of who you are and so it's an ongoing process of always learning
always exploring and it's not it's certainly not about having all of the
answers it's who you become in the pursuit of answering those questions but
as soon as you answer a question of course another question arises so it's
like ongoing exploration and this brings me to the first characteristic of a self
actualized person unfortunately most of us as we get older we stop exploring so
much we get used to things being a certain way now life might seem to get
more and more predictable because we see the same patterns
over and over but a lot of times this is us doing this we are looking for ways to
make life more predictable more safe more secure especially as we start to
become more and more aware of all the ways we can get hurt and actually get
killed we start to become aware of more and more risk so we want to make life
more predictable more secure and more safe but when we do that we usually stop
the process of exploring because exploring itself can feel more and more
like you're taking risks like you're destabilizing the world around you which
is really the world inside of you that you're projecting out everywhere else
a simpler way of putting it is we end up doing less rather than more we don't
take as much action we get caught in our routines and our patterns and we crave
that familiarity and that predictability but at the same time this makes us
stagnate and we don't do as much and we feel we don't this actually causes
suffering because we're not utilizing our potential the less we feed our
curiosity with exploration and discovery the more our curiosity will start to
wane and die think about children how curious they are and because they're so
curious they learn rapidly they learn really really fast and they enjoy it and
it excites them so they want to learn more and more no matter how old you are
you can still return to that childlike wonder about life and at the same time
you don't have to give up your wisdom that you've acquired from all of your
experiences you can actually contain both of them so maintain that childlike
wonder and continue to have more and more discoveries and explorations and
really feed that curiosity at the same time you're cultivating this wisdom that
comes from the understandings and the knowledge that you gain from all of your
experiences being curious will add more life and more energy to your existence
you will grow evolve learn more and self actualize when you are curious be
curious the second characteristic is self-acceptance how much time
do you spend comparing yourself to other people how much time do you spend
comparing yourself to how you used to be when you compare yourself to others or
to how you used to be it's usually a very clear indication that you don't
fully accept yourself and when you don't fully accept yourself you will fall into
suffering from low self-esteem low self-worth all those things that really
make us feel low and down and not good enough people who fully accept
themselves might enjoy being around other people but they're also perfectly
okay by themselves they don't need outside validation to know that they're
living purposeful and meaningful lives they get that feeling all on their own
even if there's no one around them except yourself
full-stop and from here you will become the person you are meant to be and it is
only when you do this only when you accept yourself fully imperfections and
all is when you can become the person you're meant to be the third key
characteristic of living a self actualized life is to have a vision of
your ideal self who you're constantly becoming now I mentioned some free
training earlier in this video and this is what I go into in the free training
it's a four part video series you will find the link down in the description
and you'll also find it in the comments down below so if you want to take this
deeper if you want to be able to elicit your values and create a vision of your
ideal self of who you're becoming you'll learn this even deeper in that free
training so why have a vision of your ideal self well because that gives you
the direction that you want to become the direction you want to take your life
the direction that you're going to go that fulfills you satisfies you
actualizes your potential and creates that ideal self as you go now of course
we never arrive at this this is why it's always a vision and this is why we
always have a sort of vague vision because you don't know who you're going
to meet you don't know all of the activities you're going to do
and you don't know all the things that are going to happen if you were to
imagine the ideal you the you who has solved all of your problems and has
actualized fully actualized your potential that you who you want to
become when you see that you project it out in front of you at all times and
this will eventually become unconscious so that's fine so it's not like you have
to consciously see this all the time but you want to create that image and
remember it's it's somewhat vague there's no particular context to it
you're not doing any particular behavior that's what I mean by vague and there is
just something about this image of you that lets you know this is the ideal you
the one who has solved all your problems the one who is self actualizing and
project that vision that image of you in front of you and when you have that
clearly then you can let it go it'll still be there but it'll be unconscious
and it will always give you the direction you need when you're making a
decision especially tough decisions or you're taking on new projects or
anything that you're doing that image will guide you because you will always
want to be you'll always be drawn to that image so your decisions will fall
in line with that image this is super powerful if you do this you will start
to see changes in your life and they will feel very natural and easy and just
automatic now you know the characteristics to adopt and becoming a
self actualized person but what you don't know is how to integrate them into
your identity so I'm going to go back to what I said about that that four-point
video series it's a free training and I teach you how to do that and I teach you
even more so if you want to get your hands on that like I said the link is in
