If you have spent ANY time in the self help/spirituality world, you have likely come across the idea that in order to live a truly fulfilling, healthy, happy life, you must connect with and express your ‘authentic’ self.
You must come into a realization of ‘who you really are’ and in so doing you’re going to discover your ‘purpose’, find all the right relationships, perfect your health and all the other magical things we all want to experience in life.
Now, to a degree, this is likely going to be true.
But there are some other parts of becoming our authentic self that people rarely, if ever, talk about.
There are aspects of this journey that are going to be deeply challenging.
There are parts of the ‘self discovery’ path that are going to call us into deep states of feeling lost, confused, and like we are stuck in grief.
There are going to be aspects of this journey that ask us to let go of what we had, before we have anything to replace what we’re letting go of.
There is going to be the reality of losing people.
Losing comfort.
Losing connection to what was once our guiding light and source of answers.
I feel that it’s really important to address these realities, so that when/if you face them in your life, you don’t feel like you have made a wrong step or like you are ‘off’ path.
Let’s take today to dive into the WHOLE reality of what it means to find and live as your authentic self, so we can be clear on the confusing, painful and grief filled parts, rather than allowing them to be elements that knock us off our center.
