Are you ready to look at and question who you have been told you are? Self-discovery is a journey and often a healing process of learning who we truly are. Self Discovery is just that a discovery of one’s self by one’s self. An individual seeking to find the answers for themselves. Are you willing to question even your own thoughts? Tackle issues which before you were afraid to tell even to yourself? You can start this journey at any time. It will be worth the effort.

Learning Emotions

It's about feeling your emotions and honoring every aspect of your being, this is not easy. We all have two wolfs with in us, and need to look closely at both, learning about both the dark side and Light. Then deciding which wolf we choose to feed. It's about learning how to love who you are, respecting who you are and being authentically YOU. It is indeed a journey of discovery, and what you are discovering is your authentic self.

You Are Unique

Each of our journey’s are different and unique because we are all different and unique. We each have our own life lessons to learn and different traumas to heal from. We each move at our own unique pace. There is no one right way that works for everybody. We each look at the world from our own unique perspective. There is no rush, you will move on your journey at the pace that is just right for you. There are no neat little boxes to tick, no rules and no one solution fits all. 5 Steps of Self Discovery

Acknowledge that there are areas within you and your life that need better understanding.
Accept yourself with compassion and taking on these areas without self-judgment or guilty. Knowing we do better when we know better or have the skills and tools
Love yourself enough to want to invest the time to sort things out, learning new ways, skills, or tools.
Work at growing confidence and faith that your higher self will be able to do the work.
Ask for support, look to someone to help walk alongside you, not for you or a head of you clearing your way. Just someone to hold you accountable, encourage and motivate you, when you feel like giving up. Someone who will point you in the direction of a creek when you’re thirsty, but not get the water for you.

Road Blocks

Be prepared to meet challenging logs to cross or streams to wade through. You may find a few dark caves to look in that you’d rather avoid, however these caves can hold the biggest treasures. You may need some support and encouragement along the way, someone to walk alongside you and hold your hand. The goal is to just take one step at a time, digesting only what you can in that moment. Feeling and learning to trust your intuition, let it be your guide.
