Saving The Cat the Rejooov Way: Curiosity + Satisfaction = Self-Exploration + Self Discovery

Happy Monday, good people!

I hope your weekend was relaxing and everything you wanted to get done is did and you slid into this workweek energetic & enthusiastic but if it wasn't, I'm hoping today turns that all around.

This week, I want to dive into how satisfying a life of curiosity can truly be.

They say, "curiosity killed the cat, BUT satisfaction will (ALWAYS) bring it back." By the end of this post, I hope you better understand why I believe curiosity and satisfaction mirror self-exploration and self-discovery.

First thing's first, I don't believe in a set purpose or destined path. What I believe in is a set of experiences, choices, and conditions being met to get from one point to another as time passes.

A normal individual would simply allow shit to happen and let the chips fall where they may and call that a life while, a curiouser individual would want to figure out how the aspects of a life can be orchestrated into one they can find meaning in or at the very least, ENJOY.

In case you needed a reminder: To rejooov is not only to reinvigorate the way you view wellness, but to do so through the lens of self-exploration and discovery.

So, what does that mean?

Well... it means gaining a sense of curiosity.

Last week we talked about how loving someone you don't know makes NO SENSE and isn't sustainable.

We understand that. Gradually, the next step is to continue exploring the relationship you have with yourself so that you can keep discovering passions that will keep you in love.

A life without curiosity is boring because you'll get no satisfaction out of it. So, here's how you keep that cycle of curiosity to satisfaction going:

Self-exploration is...

where your curiosity lives. It's the active, lifelong process of examining your own thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and values to achieve deeper self-awareness and personal growth. It's questioning your identity and motivations helping you to stay locked in on your passions.

Who needs outside validation, when you can validate your inner self through deliberate and reflective investigation? Start journaling, meditating, practicing mindfulness, and trying new experiences.

Self-exploration is THE PROCESS.

Self-discovery is...

where curiosity meets satisfaction. It's where you gain the sudden or earned clarity regarding your purpose, passions, and authentic identity. It's the solidifying of self or confirmation we need for self-acceptance and better decision making.

Self-discovery is THE OUTCOME.

***

The great thing about life is that you can cycle through many processes of exploration and constantly discover new pieces of yourself. Or in other words, curiosity can kill the cat (horrible analogy, btw) so long as that curiosity is satisfied, bringing that cat back to life.

You never know who you'll be after committing yourself to a journey of never-ending experiences and reflection, that's what makes a life of wellness so intriguing.
