Self-Actualization Path

[CARDOZZO]

I'm finding new ways to self-actualize.

I don't want to be only on the spiritual/intelectual path (yoga, meditation, contemplation, journaling, books, podcasts, courses).

What are you humans doing?

I'm thinking about traveling, sports, dancing, making art, cooking, fighting, playing games, tantra.

Befriend interesting thoughtful people and have deep meaningful conversations with them. This one is huge!

Getting involved in some group/community and organize meetings or events can also open up a lot of opportunity and learning-experiences.

Find some good conscious martial art form like Jiu-Jitsu and really practice and fight with people: I think this one is also very transformative, but im kinda procrastinating on that one.

Additionally, I'd say your approach, disposition and overall relationship towards things is the priority, not so much what one may do. Wanting to discover some aspect of your experience shifts your relationship to it, facilitating introspection. You are then suddenly contemplating what things are, not just at the effect of them.

My four stages of learning evolution:

1. Learn from books, articles, schools

2. Learn from youtube videos, forum posts

3. Learn from art, schematics, illustrations, animations

4. Learn from memes, the DNA of the soul

Contemplation is a powerful tool.

I can recommend acting, good for self-expression, confidence and connecting with people. Although, I've only dabbled a bit. More conventionally, long distance running, good for overall fitness and mental and physical endurance. Volunteering in any capacity, good for building compassion and understanding and for a sense of accomplishment. Learning to play any musical instrument, good for coordination and dexterity, and learning patience and mastery.
