YOURSELF PROFILE
You can consider this “a test” if
you like, and have a pen and paper to write your answers. As nobody
is going to see the results of this “test” but yourself, you
should be as honest and forthright as you can be. It may take you an
hour, or a week to consider and complete this “test”. You are
encouraged to repeat this “test” every six months… for the
rest of your life!
Start by considering and writing down
your responses to each of the following:
1. How do you fill your world, your
space? What occupies the room/s of your dwelling? What “things”
do you have around you? What do you “always” have with you?
2. How do you spend your time? What
activities do you engage in most significantly in terms of “time
spent” on them or in them?
3. How do you expend your energy?
What is it that you do a lot of, “energetically” and actively?
4. How do you spend your money? On
what do you spend the greatest proportions of your money? Where does
each group of items money is spent on rank in order of spending?
5. What are your dominant thoughts?
What is it that occupies your thoughts consistently?
6. What do you visualise internally
or “dream” about having, being or doing? What sort of “pictures”
do you see yourself in?
7. What is your predominant
self-talk? What is your internal dialogue? Is it about yourself, or
others? Is it critical or praising? Is it encouraging or negative?
8. What is your external dialogue?
What do you talk about with others? What do you “lead”
conversations with others towards, if possible? What topics “interest”
you most?
9. What do you react to, or respond
actively to? What do you become “excited” about? What do you
become “anxious” about? What do you become sad or angry about?
What do you feel “happy” or “contented” about when you think
or talk about it?
Now you will have a lot of words
written down from answering the 9 questions, and some of those words
will have a very strong “feeling” sensation for you.
All your values and beliefs are not
disclosed by this “test”, just some of the ones that have some
significant implications for your future success. Also, your values
and beliefs are a function of your goals and plans. Change your
goals and plans, get really firm on new ones, and you will notice
your values and beliefs exposed by answering these 9 questions will
shift. Shift a little at first, but as you become more and more
committed to your new goals and plans, some of the values and
beliefs that emerge, or shift in the soft-strong hierarchy, will
reflect and be aligned with those new goals and plans. They may
become the “strongest” when they may have been the “softest”,
or not even present, before.
Aligning you values, beliefs, actions
with your purpose; and identifying your goals and plans; is the
foundation of success. There are many resources in our Reading
List and Links
Page
Below is a table which you might like
to assess yourself against. It is very interesting to write your
values and beliefs words next to your first choice under “Profile”.
Sometimes we are not who we think we are, we are not “aligned”,
and it is necessary to “re-align” ourselves. That is the
wonderful thing about this world. If we don’t like where we fit
into it, we can change some aspects of ourselves, and fit in where
we would like to!
