A good way to learn more about yourself and a great way to live a happier life is to maintain a gratitude journal. Every night or morning, write in your journal three of the previous day’s events for which you’re grateful. No matter how bad a day you had or how insignificant the event for which you’re thankful, write three items, and stick to that every night. This can help you learn about what you like and what you appreciate out of life. You might figure out that you don’t like one of your current hobbies or social media apps, and this may let you branch out into hobbies you’ll actually enjoy. Keeping a gratitude journal is an incredible test of willpower because the benefits are far from immediate, but even a daily record of one item might make an impact with regard to how you view yourself.

- Make Plans Carefully
Life is nothing more than what you do every day. Are you living in accordance with what you enjoy the most? Does your job make you feel productive and helpful? How satisfied would you be if your life were to end tomorrow? When you let go of what you don’t find helpful, productive, or enjoyable, you’re building a better life for yourself. When you browse social media, how do you feel? For many, social media is nothing beyond a painful distraction that induces agonizing jealousy. If you’ve been meaning to delete an account, the best time to do so may be yesterday, but the second-best time is today, at least according to a Chinese proverb. When you make a plan, you either do what you want or accidentally figure out what you want. Those are both good things, with the latter being particularly important for self-actualization.
- Take a Personality Test
The Myers-Briggs is not the only test in the personality test game. There are also Enneagram tests and Myers-Briggs strong-interest tests, which are geared toward employment. If you’re in a silly mood and need to let off some steam, sometimes all you need to do is visit a pulpy website to find out what type of sandwich you’d be, though that may not be very informative. Personality tests need to be taken with grains of salt, but they will not cause the Barnum Effect, as they are more genuine ways for you to discern your personality type. For example, the Myers-Briggs test presents tangible comparisons. It compares extroversion to introversion and logic to emotion. One size does not fit all, but one size may fit most, so a Myers-Briggs test might inform some of your personality.
