30 Questions for Self-Discovery 
 
There are many ways to take care of yourself—mentally, emotionally, physically, for instance—and we’re quite familiar with some of them. For example, you can devote some “me time” for self-pampering, meditation, yoga, and the like. But one of the other ways to nurture your well-being is through self-discovery. 
 
Unlike some physical workouts, which can be as quick and simple as doing as many squats as you can in a minute, self-discovery is a process that requires time, effort, patience, and kindness. It’s similar to nurturing a relationship as you allow yourself to be open to hard questions, get to learn new things, understand your feelings more, and let yourself heal from challenging experiences. 
 
The journey toward self-discovery may lead you to question the choices that you made and to reflect on things that have happened in the past. But it also boosts your confidence that you know yourself a little more and have gained much more through your reflection. It also helps you to be better with your relationships with others as you are more aware and sensitive of what you are and what you wish to be. 
 
To start your experience with self-discovery, here are some questions to guide your way.
