Mientras escribo este texto me viene una imagen que me parece perfecta para describir el sentido del autoconcepto: Una vez estando Miguel Ángel ante un gran bloque de mármol dispuesto a comenzar una de sus inmortales esculturas, alguien le preguntó cómo pensaba sacar una obra de esa piedra, él respondió: “La escultura ya está en la piedra, yo solo saco lo que sobra”.

De esto se trata el autoconcepto, ¡Ya somos!, lo que hace falta es que continuemos quitando lo que sobra para seguir develándonos a nosotros mismos, reconociendo lo maravilloso que hay en nosotros y también aquello que sentimos que es necesario darle unos golpecitos con martillo y cincel para acercarnos a ese yo coherente, equilibrado y armonioso que nos satisfaga proporcionándonos un mayor bienestar integral.

Te invito a realizar este ejercicio, que nos compartas en un post tu experiencia de autoconocimiento y crecimiento. Como siempre, respetamos tu espacio íntimo, expresa solo aquello que te resulte cómodo compartir.

What do I think of myself?

Greetings @holos-lotus friends and especially to those who accepted last week's invitation and joined the Who Am I? With a theme that was beautiful and meaningful for each of the participants. My self in the animal kingdom.

Continuing the initiative, this week we will work with the question “What do I think of myself? It is the key question in self-knowledge and corresponds to what in psychology is known as the self-concept, since the whole set of ideas, perceptions, images that we think about us is responding to that broad Who I am.

As we well know, what we think of ourselves does not carry the label, 100% original, since we build our self-concept based on our experiences, learning and social interactions, that is, from the very moment we are born and neuroscience and other branches of science take for granted that from the womb, we take elements with which we build our own concept.

The interesting thing is that the concept we built in those early years of life left its mark and possibly we walk on them until the present, but more interesting is to know that the footprint does not necessarily have to be perennial and it is then when we look back and see that from that child, from that teenager we were, we are no longer, we have built a new self-concept, perhaps, as they say there, a new version of oneself and that constantly leads us to redefine ourselves.

These redefinitions can be seen as that dynamic process that we are and that we respond to the diverse experiences we have, generating in turn processes of transformations product of a realization capable of moving us towards new ways.

So, who am I today, what do I think of myself? These are broad questions that can be approached from different points in order to concretize answers: who I am in my attitudes, in my character, in my philosophy of life, in my ethics, in each of the roles I play, in my light side and in my dark sides, what do I think of myself in my relationship with myself and with others.
