By not lying to ourselves and in seeing the truth. Living honest.
Be a person of word. Walk your walk and talk your talk.
If there is something about you that you dislike or is not appealing then recognize it and modify it into what you know is more truthful. How you want to be, or who you really are.
I call myself on some of the thoughts that cross my head and ask myself if it is something that is what I want to think about or might I focus on something else?

I think the best way to know yourself is to learn from your experiences, both good and bad and by looking at your reactions to these experiences.
Also as you get older and more mature you get to know yourself better.
Look at the way you handle yourself and look at your friends and family....these things all help us to shape ourselves and thus would help you to know your self a little better.

I personally go into the woods upon a bluff overlooking the valley, take my sleeping bag and spend a couple days just meditating. You can also build a brush covered rock sauna and really cleanse your body,

Know what your principles are and stick to them. Trust your common sense. Be confident in yourself. Have a goal and work toward it. Judge things on how they relate to you attaining your goal. Meditate. List your strengths and weaknesses and figure out how to overcome the latter.

There is no unified answer to this question. It's depend on you. Know yourself is to understand your life. How to know yourself? it's you who have to answer. Some may say meditation is the answer, yes but not for everyone. So answer of this question, basicly, you have to observe how you live your life and understand the reason behind any action you did.

Find out who you are by discovering who you are NOT.
People tend to change, and there is so much out there that one individual cannot know everything...
Try new things, learn, and be open to stuff... atleast you'll figure out your own boundaries (by what you don't care for) and along the way, you might just discover things which "click"!

You can find out a lot about yourself by studying the way other people react to you.

Read Beowulf. Knowing your weaknesses makes you strong; knowing the badness in yourself makes you good.

Inner meditation on God. "God dwells within you as you." You have unity with God in unconditional love within your heart. Seek an you will find, knock an it will be opened unto you. See syda.org/theguru.
