Self Realization :To know yourself as person .
(It is like when you know a person you say i know X person).
Similarly to know yourself through yourself you have to talk to yourself have to meet yourself (like you see you mirror image & you start knowing your Physical self,you take care of body by tracking weight/keeping healthy -same way you must take care of your inner-self mind and soul ).
How we can help to know self ,there are some means i feel you can help learn yourself and your soul to get nearer to god (your soul-mate/Creator)
Means to know self I try to use:
1)Luv yourself as you love your dear ones/god/ wife/friend/parents.
Luv self like a parents luv
luv self like you luv to see nature,
luv to see movies,
luv to eat tasty foods
Luv like u luv to wear smart clothes..and many other things.
2)Remain positive for self:
*keep positive thoughts and positive energy around you.
Positive thoughts help you to keep confidence/send positive vibrations to your surrounding /your family.
If your are positive people like you, they feel happy meeting you so they will want to meet you again & again -which help to keep long relationship and remain social .
3)Do not have negative thoughts in you
* critise do not help any one to improve so it will not help you either.
* instead of criticising self even if u do mistakes take say to self oh the mistake will help me to learn myself -i just have to try in correct manner with positive.
(Feeling of yes I will do it -say to self n number of times and it will help you do things in positive manner).
4)Learn yourself :
sharpen your mind by giving knowledge to inner-soul & mind.
5)Love god and be in peace-
whenever you get a though with chinta- say to self "no chinta" it does not help- replace it with peace luv towards god and your soul
