- Do a life review – the first step is to review your life and look at the path you have taken. Did messages of what you should do or should not do influence your path? Look for anything that was significant about your life; key decisions you made, health setbacks, traumas. What were you interested in when you were young?
- Spend time in contemplation and get connected. Whatever makes you feel connected, seek that out daily. For some people this might be daily meditation, daily exercise, walks in nature, listening to music, etc. Whatever makes you feel at peace and more connected, do that. In this quiet contemplative space will many insights lie; create time in your day for this spirit centered time.
- Get clear on your own present picture of who you are. If this is tough for you to do, write a list of you who you are not first. Start with things that you can say are definitely true for you. For example: My favorite color is blue. What do you like to do with your time? If you had a day all to yourself, how would you choose to spend it? What are things that are unique or quirky about you? Do you consider yourself a morning person or night person or both? What kind of music do you like? What kind of diet suits you best- raw foods, cooked foods, small frequent meals? These answers must come from you only and not outside influences or what you think you should like.
- What factors support your growth and allow you to thrive? Developing your personal awareness is key. How can you best stay in balance with yourself?
- What do you fear is inside of you? Face this and you will be set free. Generally this is a major obstacle to loving and accepting yourself. You may not even know what this is right now.
- Rid yourself of old outdated belief systems that restrict your personal freedom. Look at core beliefs that you carry. Ie. The universe is not a safe place. Try to let go of black and white thinking constructs.
- What are new belief systems that support who you truly are?
- Say yes to everything – self exploration requires that you participate in your life. Don’t limit your experience. Where do you limit the amount of well being that can flow to you in your life? Where do you cut off nourishment (love) from flowing to you? How can you open up to receiving more nourishment (love) in your life?
- Take the time to connect with your intuition when you make decisions. Check in with yourself and learn to trust your inner voice. Take action steps directed by your inner voice.
- Be empowered in your life. You are capable of healing anything in your life. Healing does not always mean curing but often your health improves just by agreeing to take this journey and your happiness quotient expands exponentially.
