 INTRODUCTION

SELF REALIZATION
Self-realization, also known as self-actualization, is a concept which is as old as humankind.
It is a part of all cultures, religions and philosophies in some way or the other. This concept is
major in both the eastern as well as the western cultures. The way one defines it is different,
but the end goal remains the same. The goal of self-realization is to have a peaceful and
fulfilled life; a life of virtue and abundance. If one achieves self-realization, it brings many
benefits to them. It affects all areas of life. There are many definitions of self-realization. But
before we get to that, it is important for us to understand the importance of self-realization.
So, here are some of the greatest benefits that realization offers.
Importance of Self Realization
1. Higher Confidence and Self Esteem
Individuals on the road to self-realization are profoundly linked to their inner self and to the
world around them. The depth and strength of the connection will liberate them from worries,
fears, and feelings of indignity. It also lets them take advantage of their full potential.
2. Helps to Focus Sharper
Those who accept realisation are in contact with their true selves, operating according to their
deepest beliefs and values. They will identify their priorities and follow them more
aggressively and sharply. Self-realized people easily remove negative forces from their lives,
freeing up space for positive things.
3. Not Being Controlled by Emotions
Self-realized people are not in control of their feelings. Realization allows people who accept
it to observe, face, and conquer their emotions. Updating teaches people how to gain insight
into their emotions and become successful in coping with terror, anxiety, isolation, and other
emotions that hold them back.
4. Acceptance
Self-realized people are more open and open-minded than those who have yet to understand
their full potential. They can openly and authentically express their feelings. This leads to
stronger and more positive relationships with others.
 PERSONAL STORY ON SELF REALIZATION WHICH MOULDED
ME TO CHANGE IN OTHER WAY

Since from the childhood I used to be the fat child and because of this I lack self-confidence
and always I was afraid to express myself. I grew up in an environment where I was taught
to be smart and ambitious, but I was also taught to put others before me. I was taught that
girls need to be a certain way - not too fat or too thin, not too loud nor too meek I was
thought to fit in others people expectations of my body my behaviour and perhaps even my
mind. What should typically middle class Indian girl women be like? I was told to try and fit
into that image be the women that people get to love respect and except I don't blame my
parents they give me far more education courage and ambition that most girls get in this
country. however, they also lived in society where girls were expected to be a certain way to
gain social acceptance. In my school days’ people use to body shame me I was a lonely child
during my school days. It was much later in life — perhaps in my college days that I began to
realize that I was becoming a “people pleaser”. I would ask myself what will make everyone
else happy? In the process of pleasing others, I had lost myself. I started slowly discovering
what I like and what I want. I started working out in gym. All my life I had done one thing
after the other — like most people. School, college, assignment and then work. Every
morning I woke up with purpose to go out and “deliver”. It was a journey of experiments to
actually find out what is it that I really like to do –for myself. What makes me happy? What
sparks joy? What really feeds my soul?
My journey of self-love started and there has been no looking back. There is no love story
greater, deeper or richer than the one we have with ourselves. Self-love, self-esteem and
confidence is also the foundation of all our relationships. We cannot be successful in any of
our relationships unless we learn to love ourselves first. The relationship you have with
yourself is the most important relationship in the world. And let no one tell you otherwise.
This is particularly important for women. From childhood we are taught the importance of
taking care of our bodies — our physical health, but rarely is the discussion focused on the
mind and the art of self-love, self-esteem and emotional hygiene. How do you deal with
failure, rejection and loneliness? Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows by
actions. When we act in ways that expand self-love, we learn to accept and embrace our
weaknesses and not just our strengths.
I started taking good care of myself not just physical but mental health. Learnt to talk to
myself. Words of encouragement and pep talk. Mindfulness and being intentional in the way
you live. Being present in the moment and living that moment with full awareness Learnt to
do thing that are good for me and learnt to say No to things that don’t add value or joy. I
Protected myself physically and mentally. Walked away from situations, people and work
which is abusive. Didn’t wait for that proverbial last straw to break on the camel’s back.
Press the self-eject button.
Mostly importantly I Learnt to forgive myself for the mistakes that i have committed in the
past. Bad relationships, bad decisions, bad career choices. I Learnt to live and appreciate each
day like it is the first day of the rest of your life. Yes, gratitude that I have the opportunity to
breathe and live and go through this journey of life as a human being.
