4 Practical Steps to Harmony: From Desires to Career
We often live on autopilot, losing contact with our own needs and talents. Here are four effective exercises to help you structure your thoughts, improve relationships, and uncover hidden scripts that hinder success. For deeper work on these topics, use the MriyaRun tools.
1. Defining True Desires
It all starts with honesty with yourself. Take a piece of paper, write the heading "My Core Desires," and mark each one with a single keyword. Don't try to appear better or "correct." Family, career, hobbies, or simply peace of mind—these are your landmarks. This is the starting point for future decisions.
To turn these desires into concrete goals and not lose them in routine, use the Planner Diary. It helps keep your focus on what matters most.
2. Rebooting Personal Life
Relationships are a priority, but often a source of anxiety too. If you feel dissatisfied, ask yourself: what exactly is missing? Attention, time together, support?
Try a simple technique:
- Write down your needs.
- Discuss them with your partner in a calm atmosphere. Start with the positives, then voice what is missing without accusations.
- Jointly find solutions and agree on a trial period for changes.
To learn how to express your needs ecologically, Emotional Intelligence is perfect. If you find it difficult to understand your partner or yourself, try working with imagery via Online Metaphorical Cards.
3. Your Album of Talents
Set aside an evening for pleasant memories. Look through old photos and souvenirs. Recall moments when you felt pride, joy, and drive. What connects these moments? What abilities were you using then? These are your talents.
Record them and promise yourself to develop these aspects. To reinforce this positive self-image, we recommend the Self-Acceptance Diary or the Gratitude Workbook, which will teach you to value your strengths.
4. Working with Unconscious Mindsets
At work, we are often ruled by hidden drivers. By realizing them, we reduce their toxic influence:
- "Be Perfect": The fear of making a mistake forces you to check everything a hundred times. Solution: allow yourself moderate risks.
- "Try Hard": The belief that work must be difficult. This is a path to burnout. Choose projects you enjoy.
- "Please Others": Forces you to please others at your own expense. It is essential to learn to say "no." The Hostess of Your Boundaries Diary Book will help with this.
- "Be Strong": A ban on emotions and asking for help. Learn to express your feelings.
- "Hurry Up": Constant rushing and anxiety. Slow down and focus on quality.
To dig deeper into your scripts and reactions, the Self-Knowledge Diary will be of great help.
