Some people are able to function on a daily basis because it\u2019s not that severe, whereas some people are simply unable to deal with the most trivial tasks because the feeling of not being in touch with themselves is literally draining and killing them.<\/p>\n
\u00bfEs normal no saber qui\u00e9n eres?<\/h2>\n

Worry not. It’s perfectly normal to not know who you are because our identities are constantly changing. So, at times you may not know for sure who you are.<\/p>\n
La verdad es que cada uno de nosotros se enfrenta a diferentes luchas a lo largo de nuestra vida<\/a> y la autoidentificaci\u00f3n es una de ellas. Podr\u00edamos decir que se trata de una lucha continua que a veces llega a ser agotadora e influye en la calidad de nuestra vida.<\/p>\n When that happens, we become obsessed with finding ways to reconnect with our true selves, which is perfectly normal. Sometimes we feel like a stranger in our own body but this feeling won’t last forever.<\/p>\n Es s\u00f3lo una parte de nuestro viaje llamado Vida y su proceso de aumento de la autoconciencia, amor propio<\/a>y la autoestima.<\/p>\n “To find yourself, you must first lose yourself.” \u2013 <\/i><\/b>Jared Leto<\/b><\/p>\n “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” \u2013 <\/i><\/b>Mahatma Gandhi<\/b><\/p>\n To find yourself means to lose yourself. To help others means to help yourself and that’s lo que hace la vida m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s normal to not know who you are. This means that you’re changing and changing means evolving.<\/p>\n It’s the feeling of constantly going around in circles while looking for that one thing that will give you a sense of purpose and belonging.<\/p>\n Significa comportarte de la manera que crees que deber\u00edas hacerlo o de la manera que los dem\u00e1s quieren que lo hagas en lugar de ser t\u00fa mismo y siguiendo tu coraz\u00f3n.<\/a><\/p>\n Being yourself means following your passions because that’s the essence of living a fulfilling life and increasing your self-awareness.<\/p>\n Recuerdo que repet\u00eda esta frase todos los d\u00edas durante el instituto: I don’t know who I am<\/i> m\u00e1s.<\/i> Me costaba conectar con mi verdadero yo y encontrar mi prop\u00f3sito porque estaba dr\u00e1sticamente cambiando tanto mental como f\u00edsicamente.<\/a><\/p>\n En aquel momento, ten\u00eda montones de preguntas sin respuesta y una de ellas era: <\/b>Espera, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 me siento como <\/i><\/b>I don’t know who I am<\/i><\/b>?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Now, you\u2019re probably thinking the same. You’re thinking about the possible reasons for this phenomenon. And to be frank, there are multiple reasons starting from your childhood.<\/p>\n Significa ser querido por los miembros de su familia, aceptado y no abusado emocionalmente<\/a>, let alone physically. And when parents are acting overly protective toward their children, they are unintentionally destroying their children\u2019s potential to establish their own identity.<\/p>\n V\u00e9ase tambi\u00e9n: 6 errores que cometen sin querer los padres sobreprotectores<\/a><\/p>\n Think of it this way. If you\u2019re constantly deciding what your child is supposed to do, your child will be unable to decide what\u2019s good for himself in the future.<\/p>\n Y es entonces cuando empieza a gestarse la p\u00e9rdida de identidad y la baja autoestima que puede desembocar en trastornos de salud mental.<\/p>\n If you feel like you\u2019ve never had an opportunity to choose during your childhood, this might be the reason why you feel like you no longer know who you are.<\/p>\n It is because you\u2019ve never been able to get to con\u00f3cete a ti mismo<\/a> en primer lugar. Las experiencias vitales conforman nuestros rasgos de personalidad.<\/p>\n Un estilo de vida ajetreado (junto con las redes sociales) es el principal culpable de casi 90% de las enfermedades mentales y adversidades emocionales<\/a>.<\/p>\n When you have a lot of things to do and you\u2019re constantly stressing yourself about everything, you create problems and barriers in your head, and you become a problem to yourself.<\/p>\n Tu rutina diaria se vuelve insoportable.<\/p>\n Entonces empiezas a pensar: I don\u2019t know who I am<\/i> anymore. I don’t know how I feel anymore.<\/i> And do you know why it is so? It\u2019s because you no longer see yourself as a human being due to all of these things which are dominating you and forcing you to dance to their own music.<\/p>\n Ya no pasas tiempo de calidad con tu mejores amigos<\/a> and loved ones because you simply don’t have time for that. Slowly but surely you become detached from your true self and that’s when you start panicking.<\/p>\n Ser demasiado pesimista sobre las cosas es otra raz\u00f3n para sentirse perdido y no saber qu\u00e9 has hecho mal para llegar a esto. Piensa siempre en positivo sean cuales sean las circunstancias.<\/p>\n They don\u2019t own you. They are all part of you because you chose it so. You are the one who defines yourself.<\/p>\n Bad things don\u2019t define your identity. Only your thoughts and actions define who you are, and if you don\u2019t recognize yourself anymore, it means you weren\u2019t being fair to yourself.<\/p>\n You were too harsh to yourself, and you neglected your body and mind\u2019s desire to express themselves and do what makes you happy. You neglected the importance of autocuidado emocional<\/a>.<\/p>\n It means that you haven\u2019t been yourself for a long time because you were too busy chasing other things that have killed your inner self. And now is the time to fix this.<\/p>\n Preocuparse demasiado por lo que los dem\u00e1s pensar\u00e1n de ti<\/a> is another surefire way to lose yourself. Keep in mind that there are some things you cannot influence and one of those things is other people’s opinion.<\/p>\n People will always think but that doesn’t mean that you should always worry about that. You need to focus on things that you want to do for yourself and not because of someone else. That is the only way to find yourself again.<\/p>\n Esta vez, elige complacerte a ti mismo en lugar de a los dem\u00e1s porque te lo mereces y t\u00fa tambi\u00e9n lo sabes.<\/p>\n S\u00ed, una crisis de identidad llamada I don’t know who I am<\/i> m\u00e1s<\/i> can be, in a way, “cured”. The following tips will help you find yourself again and increase your self-awareness.<\/p>\n It probably does because that\u2019s who you really are. Your preferences are a part of your being, and you should never neglect them because you\u2019re too busy with other things. Your well-being and self-care should always be a priority.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve always enjoyed playing volleyball, get up, call your friends, and start making plans to play again.<\/p>\n Yet, if you\u2019ve never been interested in any particular activity, start trying everything, and, believe me, you\u2019ll know when you\u2019ve found something worth spending your time on.<\/p>\n The goal here is to find that little spark and ignite the fire that will revive your sense of identity. And this will take time, but believe me, you\u2019ll succeed.<\/p>\n Tienes que estar en contacto con tus sentimientos y entender lo que tu cuerpo intenta decirte. Esto te ayudar\u00e1 a centrarte en lo que te gusta y lo que no.<\/p>\n Tu mente y tu cuerpo son tus mejores amigos cuando se trata de tus intereses y pensamientos. Una vez que empieces a jugar al voleibol, presta atenci\u00f3n a c\u00f3mo te sientes durante esa actividad.<\/p>\n Aplica este m\u00e9todo a cualquier otra actividad. \u00bfCiertas actividades te hacen sentir feliz o m\u00e1s bien tenso? \u00bfTe gustan m\u00e1s las noches de cine que las discotecas? \u00bfTe gustan m\u00e1s los paseos largos que las noches de cine?<\/p>\n \u00c9stas son las preguntas que debes hacerte. Tus sentimientos y reacciones ante distintas actividades te ayudar\u00e1n a desarrollar una conexi\u00f3n m\u00e1s profunda tanto con tu mente como con tu cuerpo.<\/p>\n That’s how you’ll reconnect with your true self again.<\/p>\n El pensamiento negativo equivale a infelicidad e insatisfacci\u00f3n con el estilo de vida actual. Tener sobre todo pensamientos negativos significa que hay que cambiar algo.<\/p>\n Tienes que redirigir tus pensamientos centr\u00e1ndote en las cosas positivas que te han pasado y te est\u00e1n pasando en este momento. Tienes que esforzarte por expresar gratitud<\/a> for everything you have instead of worrying about the things that you don’t.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that everything in life is a process. Just because you haven’t achieved some things so far, this doesn’t mean that you won’t in the near future.<\/p>\n Remind yourself that it’s okay to make mistakes sometimes. Understand that you have your own unique pace and there’s no need to compete with anyone.<\/p>\n Sustituye el pensamiento negativo por el coraje y la convicci\u00f3n de que todo sucede por una raz\u00f3n y que, al final, todo ser\u00e1 exactamente como debe ser.<\/p>\n El proceso de toma de decisiones est\u00e1 estrechamente relacionado con tu identidad porque expresar tus deseos y anhelos es algo que forja tu identidad y principalmente confianza en s\u00ed mismo<\/a>.<\/p>\n And if you\u2019ve always been ashamed of letting people know what you really want and what you really like, the chances are that you\u2019ve suffocated yourself in order to appease others.<\/p>\n La sentencia I don’t know who I am<\/i> m\u00e1s <\/i>no debe impedirle tomar decisiones.<\/p>\n Let your opinion be heard on every single topic and discussion. Make a decision that from now on, you\u2019ll begin making decisions, and you won\u2019t stop until it becomes your second nature.<\/p>\n Decide to read that self-improvement book you’ve been thinking about for some time now. When you\u2019re in a shopping mall, decide that you\u2019ll buy that T-shirt even though it looks like something no one would ever buy. But, who gives a shit?<\/p>\n You don\u2019t care if others will like it. The most important thing is that you like it, and you\u2019ll be the one who\u2019ll wear it without the fear of being judged for it.<\/p>\n Start making decisions, from the small to the big ones, and soon you\u2019ll descubra su yo interior<\/a>. Be happy for who you really are, and appreciate your flaws because that\u2019s the key ingredient when it comes to restoring your sense of self.<\/p>\n Perhaps that’s the main reason why you feel like you don’t know who you are anymore in the first place. Don’t worry, you can fix that.<\/p>\n It’s time for you to identify your valores fundamentales<\/a> instead of living up to other people’s expectations. Sometimes, you spend so much time living up to someone else’s standards that you start thinking you have the same core beliefs as them.<\/p>\n You do that because you want them to love you. You think by achieving that you will finally feel complete but that doesn’t happen. Instead, you feel even more lost than you initially were.<\/p>\n It’s time to change that:<\/p>\n He aqu\u00ed algunos valores fundamentales para empezar:<\/p>\n Respira profundamente. Siente c\u00f3mo el aire llena tus pulmones y exhala lentamente. Mantente presente. Conc\u00e9ntrate en tu respiraci\u00f3n y luego mira a tu alrededor.<\/p>\n Are you satisfied with the life you’re living right now? Are there some things that you want to change? If you could be doing anything right now, what would it be?<\/p>\n Be honest with yourself and your abilities. Focus on the things you can influence and most importantly, don’t worry about the past and things you cannot change.<\/p>\n En su lugar, vivir el momento<\/a>. Vuelve a respirar profundamente. Siente c\u00f3mo el aire llena tus pulmones y exhala lentamente.<\/p>\n Sepa que la felicidad est\u00e1 ah\u00ed mismo, delante de usted. Todo lo que tienes que hacer es empezar a vivir y dejar de pensar demasiado<\/a>.<\/p>\n Creating a routine where you do things that make your heart beat faster and make you feel like you\u2019ve found your purpose means shaping your identity. When you repeat actions that make you happy over and over again, you\u2019re creating happiness.<\/p>\n Mantenerte comprometido tambi\u00e9n significa estar en contacto contigo mismo y con tus miedos internos. Nunca los descuides porque volver\u00e1n a ti y te crear\u00e1n enormes consecuencias cuando menos te lo esperes.<\/p>\n Always face your fears because they are also a part of who you are, and they should be treated that way. Love all of your sides, positive and less positive, because if you don\u2019t, nobody else will.<\/p>\n Don’t let the sentence I don’t know who I am<\/i> m\u00e1s<\/i> definirte o hacerte pensar demasiado. Eres mucho m\u00e1s que eso.<\/p>\nWhat Does It Mean When You Don’t Know Who You Are Anymore?<\/h2>\n
