Do you know yourself?
That may seem like a silly question. How could we not know ourselves?
I can almost guarantee these 30 questions to get to know yourself better are going to challenge you. They are going to leave you stumped. They may even bring about some feelings that you did not know you had.
We are all guilty of just going through the motions of life sometimes. And I don’t even think we realize we are doing it. Not until we force ourselves to stop.
Grab yourself a pen and paper. I really want you to write down the answers to these questions. Think of this as you are going on a date with yourself. And the conversation on this date is going to get deep.
The deeper the better.
It is so crucial to take the time to learn about ourselves. And then take what we have learned and make some positive changes in our lives.
You have to take action. Do something. Do anything.
Think of it like this. Don’t make a killer plate of nachos and then not eat them. Heck no. You need to dive right in.
When it comes to these questions, there are no right or wrong answers. Write down the first thing that comes to your mind.
Here Are 30 Questions To Get To Know Yourself Better
1) What makes me happy?
2) What is one short term goal I have?
3) What is one long term goal I have?
4) What is one goal I have that is so big it scares me to even write it down?
Think big with this!
5) Am I taking steps to achieve any of these goals?
Goal setting is great. But it’s all about taking some action.
6) Is there an area of my life I want to improve in?
7) What brings me joy?
Don’t overthink this one. It can be something as small as a cup of coffee. Your favorite cozy sweater. Watching your favorite show cuddling someone you love.
The smell of your favorite candle filling your home.
8) Where do I want to be a year from now?
Putting these ideas out on paper can be fun and exciting.
9) What am I grateful for?
Gratitude will change your life. An attitude of gratitude. We have all seen this or read this somewhere.
It is talked about so much for good reason!
10) What do I love about myself?
Name at least 3 things. This is all about giving yourself some dang compliments.
11) What is my dream job?
Name the first thing that pops in your head.
12) Do I take care of myself?
13) How am I?
How are you? We ask other people all the time. And we usually hear an answer like “good” or “fine.”
Ask yourself this question. And you are not allowed to give a one-word answer.
14) What am I worried about right now?
Now, I am all about being positive. But we have to acknowledge our worries or struggles.
Just putting them out on paper can make them seem much more manageable.
15) Am I doing my best?
This can relate to any and every area of your life.
16) Do I spend too much time on my phone?
The point of this question is to really make you take a hard look at the time spent on your phone. You can even check on your phone and it will show you the amount of screen time for the week.
17) What am I good at?
I guarantee you are good at something, friend!
18) What is something I have been wanting to try but haven’t?
19) Do I have a personal mantra or positive affirmations I say to myself?
If you don’t, go find some right now. It will take less than five minutes.
20) Do I feel fulfilled?
I started this blog because I felt like something was missing. And it is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
21) What is something that makes you feel better?
What helps pull you out of a funk? Think about small things that make you feel even a tiny bit better when things are not going your way.
My answer would be music. Music almost always has a positive impact on my mindset in a short amount of time.
22) What have I accomplished?
It is so easy to focus on things we have yet to accomplish. We can point out failures in no time at all.
How about pointing out your accomplishments instead?
23) What is one thing I want to work on?
24) How do I spend my time?
This is an important one. Really take the time to dissect how you are spending your time.
I like to do this a lot because it is such an eye-opener. You can even choose a day and write down how ALL of your time is truly spent.
25) How do I treat those closest to me?
26) What does an ideal life look like to you?
27) Do I compare myself to others?
For most of us, I think the answer is yes. It is hard to fully escape that comparison bug.
28) What do I want to learn?
This could be anything from a new language to how to communicate better with your partner.
29) Do I say NO?
Think about the things in your life that you say “yes” or “no” to. And make sure to read this!
30) What am I going to do now?
This may seem like it was the hard part. But this was the easy part.
The hard part is using what you learned from these questions and working to make some positive changes.
I hope this inspired you to start the never-ending journey of getting to know yourself better.
