Build your Toolkit: Getting to know yourself

You are unique, amazing and a great person. The more you know yourself, the easier it is to see how amazing you are. Especially at times when you need motivation, being able to remind yourself of your uniqueness helps give you a positive outlook.
 
In this blog post, we will explore different tools that can help you get to know yourself. Check out previous Her Toolkit posts to help you build your personal and professional development toolkit.
 
Why is it important to get to know yourself?

• When you know yourself you are more confident and positive
• Your view of yourself is not formed by what others think about you
  
• You get to identify your growth areas and work on them

 
What has been my experience with getting to know myself?
Looking back on my journey, I realized that for the longest time I let other people define who I was. As I went through major transitions, I started to see that I did not really know myself. I did not know what I liked, my strengths or my worth. Spending time discovering myself has helped me find new and exciting things about myself. Getting to know myself and rediscovering myself is the greatest gift that I keep giving myself.
