Back in the 60’s Abraham Maslow wrote a seminal book about man and how to live a happy and fulfilled life.
I study Psychology as part of my reading and my passion for understanding what motivates people to buy online.
I think these 8 ways to Self-Actualise are as relevant today as they’ve ever been and as an entrepreneur I’ve learnt that it’s the best feeling in the world to be doing what you love to do, I consider myself to be lucky to do what I love everyday.
Anyway without further ado here’s Abe’s 8 ways to self actualise your life:
- Experience things fully, vividly, selflessly. Throw yourself into the experiencing of something: concentrate on it fully, let it totally absorb you
- Life is an ongoing process of choosing between safety (out of fear and need for defense) and risk (for the sake of progress and growth): Make the growth choice a dozen times a day.
- Let the self emerge. Try to shut out the external clues as to what you should think, feel, say, and so on, and let your experience enable you to say what you truly feel.
- When in doubt, be honest. If you look into yourself and are honest, you will also take responsibility. Taking responsibility is self-actualizing.
- Listen to your own tastes. Be prepared to be unpopular.
- Use your intelligence, work to do well the things you want to do, no matter how insignificant they seem to be.
- Make peak experiencing more likely: get rid of illusions and false notions. Learn what you are good at and what your potentialities are not.
- Find out who you are, what you are, what you like and don’t like, what is good and what is bad for you, where you are going, what your mission is. Opening yourself up to yourself in this way means identifying defenses – and then finding the courage to give them up.
