Steps to discover your true self. Here’s the truth. Identifying your true self is a life-long journey. It’s about self-examination, taking responsibility for all your life choices, trusting beyond the five senses, anchoring yourself to the Divine spark of intelligence within and staying commitment to finding your truth.
You’ll have to choose a new path. A path that is committed to exploring the unconscious self. And know the path is different for everyone. One path is the path of resistance and sameness. You’ve been down this road many times, preferring to stay with what you know. There is a feeling of security, yet it’s met with disheartenment due to the sameness of it all.
The alternative path is unknown. It’s dark, lonely, and sometimes scary. Both paths are demanding, yet the second path holds untold treasures. If you choose the unknown path, you’ll need to trust in Divine intelligence to reveal the next steps to align your soul’s intentions, purpose, and joy. This is when you begin to realize the untold treasures within your true self.

Why Discovering Your True Self Is Critical To A Joyful Life
Are the paths I mentioned resonating?
Many of us succumb to the randomness of life. Living a resigned life in quiet desperation, safe yet shackled, exhausted, and restless in sameness.
Then there are those of us who sense something more. In our own way, we, too, have a restlessness, but it’s not found in sameness. It’s found in the calling to something we know exists. We just don’t know what it is. I believe this restless energy is our soul calling us to “have a light-switch moment.”
The thing is, if you don’t step on the path of unknowingness, you’re likely to stay stuck in a sea of- sameness, which typically means fear, doubt, and disbelief. Dismissing all of the fabulously, unique treasures within. I believe, to get to these treasures, you need to know your true self intimately. Getting to know oneself means having a daily, committed practice to build a relationship with your soul and your sacred personality type.
When you step fully into your true self, you discover the joy of being you. You embrace enlightened living. And it’s from your center that you surrender while remaining secure in the knowledge that you’re being held by a FORCE that is beyond understanding. It has a mystery and magic, which ushers in a big juicy life!

The Pathway To Discover Your True Self
So what is the secret of finding your true self?
The funny thing is, it’s hidden in plain sight. It’s the bridge between your sacred personality type (the physical) and nonphysical (spirit self) that works in tandem to define your true self.
Do you know your personality type? Do you know your dominant Myers – Briggs® function?
Are you aware of the subtle message of the soul that always call you to the right path in life?
Do you understand how essential your personality type is to your soul’s purpose? You see your sole relies on the specific traits of your personality to evolve itself during this lifetime. The true self is the bridge enabling your soul (higher consciousness) spirit to speak through to your personality (lower densities of self) physical.
Steps to Discover Your True Self: The Secret Revealed
The big reveal is your dominant personality function, or as I reference it, your foundational self? It’s your North Star key to the unfolding of your true self. In traditional personality typing, your dominant function is defined as the trait you use the most. It’s the most prominent. Doesn’t it make sense then that this trait holds the keys to self-understanding?
This one aspect of yourself is so powerful. I believe it helps you answer life’s most puzzling questions:
Who am I?
Why am I here?
Who do I want to become.
It has the power to bring you great courage, confidence, and clarity. You’ve discovered a big piece of WHO you really are.
I’ve come to realize that the dominant function, or as I call it in my debut book, your North Star, plays a huge role in finding your truth. Like every aspect of personality type, I believe your type is Divinely inspired, and each trait supports you in become who you really are.
This understanding moves the needle of just believing your five senses are essential to you. I believe the nonphysical aspects of self are:
- your better half.
- your inner wisdom keeper,
- your true power center + potential
- the navigator of your sacred purpose
When you combine the five senses, a healthy, fearless personality type, with the nonphysical aspect of self, you’ll begin to functioning from your true self, your sacred center.
It’s in the sacred center that you can’t help but find your purpose, your life’s Joy de Vivre, your grandest treasures? You’ve discovered your intoxicating spiritual moxie, partnered with your powerful, juicy personality?
Meditate to Discover Your True Self
Meditation to discovering your true self – this is what showed up for me. I hope you enjoy it. My desire for you is to meditate on your vision of your truth. Center yourself and breathe deeply, in and out for each step:
- Close your eyes and see the world’s treasures; gold, silver, rubies, emeralds, and diamonds, piled as high as a mountain,
- Now slowly take in all of the sparkly, glistening light of these treasures as your eyes gaze upon the mountain top,
- At the very top, you become blinded by a brilliant light, a light that’s much brighter than all of the treasures,
- As your eyes slowly adjust, you realize you are the source of the luminous, radiant light; it’s embracing you,
- You see another being; Divine Intelligence smiling down on you, and sense, this is how She sees you,
- Feeling the warmth of this knowingness and love, you gain an understanding that it’s always guiding you.
Your light shines brighter than any treasure, pot of gold, or the biggest diamond on planet earth. May I suggest you journal, paint, doodle, or make your vision of your True Self. Please do comment below, as I’d love to see how your True Self vision showed up.
