Self Actualization

The greatest thing about self-actualization is that people don’t get to tell you who you are anymore. When you step into self-actualization, you know yourself --- and not even just your favorite color or books or activities. But you know your childhood traumas, your triggers. You understand yourself emotionally and hold yourself accountable for any situation in which you participate. You understand why you feel a certain way about things, and you know what you need to do to protect your energy. The days when people think that they know you more than you know yourself are over. When you self-actualize, criticism from people might not always be worth internalizing. Most of the time, other people’s opinions of you are nothing more than just words. Self-actualization allows you to become a more solid version of yourself. You’re able to listen to what someone has to say about you and think,” I hear what you have to say about me. However, this isn’t who I am, so it’s not true.” It’s one of the most powerful and important parts of self-healing. No one can shake your truth if you truly know who you are.
