One of my favorite films is "Eat. Pray. Love" with Julia Roberts. There is an episode in this film in which the main character Elizabeth (played by J. Roberts), in the company of friends, selects a "word" for the city. For example, London is prim, New York is ambition and smog, Rome is sex (that is, what is associated with, what word can be described). When friends asked the heroine what word was hers, she hesitated. A friend told Elizabeth that she was a woman looking for a word.
How many such people really are! Not only women, but men too. People who do not know themselves, cannot understand themselves, do not feel themselves. As a result, they cannot find their happiness, cannot self-actualize, find their life's work, their purpose and meaning, because they are "in search of the word", in search of themselves to find themselves.
How many people who, knowing nothing or little about themselves, build their lives based on generally accepted values, on the beliefs of society about what happiness is and what its components are. This is how Elizabeth lived, and so do many others. They get married, get married, because it's "time", have children, because that's the way it should be, they say that this is happiness. They get a job following the principle of prestige and relevance, and not to realize their talents. They make friends, lovers, boyfriends, and in all this crowd of faces they feel deeply alone.
They have no desires of their own, no dreams, no main goal in life, because there is no "word of their own", no understanding - and who am I? What kind of person am I? What do I want? What I like? What do I like? That I love?
Do you know your word? You can often hear the story that “everything is there”: there is a husband, there are children, there is a job, there is money, but there is no happiness. It is customary to talk about such a person that he "got drunk", "lost his conscience", "is enraged with fat." It's too easy. This man built his life based on stereotypes, on not his personal values. Yes, simply because he does not know, but what are his values in general? Because when he was growing up, he often did something, because "that's the way it should be," "that's the way it should be," "that's how everyone does it." But he didn’t learn to look for what he liked, what he liked, what he liked.
And if you do not know yourself, if there is no happiness in your life, then start small. Think about which color is your favorite? What kind of music do you like? Which dish do you like the most? What scents do you prefer? Learn to feel your body, feel and catch the moments when you are uncomfortable, when you are not comfortable and take the position so that you can relax, release tension. Learn to seek aesthetic pleasures, what you like to look at, what you like to listen to and hear. Study yourself as a small child, an infant: bite, taste, listen, smell, touch, touch.
You can find your happiness, self-realization in life only through the realization of your TRUE desires. And true desires and needs can be heard if you have the skill of listening to yourself. When a person knows how to hear and listen to himself, he understands himself, he finds his place in the world, he finds his word.
