"Is your life more a reflection of the people you love
​than a reflection of who you are?"
​

Sometimes it can just sneak up on you.  You've been leading a good life, busy but fulfilling.  And yet, all the while, maybe not quite recognizing that your own wants and needs are not reflected in how you spend your time and what you give your attention to.  If you don't have a good sense of who you are, separate from the people around you and the circumstances you're in, it's going to be hard to live a life that fully reflects you.
​
Do you sometimes find yourself wondering, "How did I get here?"

Maybe it's an external event that creates a lightbulb moment, hey, I am not living a life that reflects all of me.  A health scare, a divorce, the death of someone close to you (or maybe not even someone you were close to, but it still reverberates deeply for you). Or maybe it's one more reorganization at work, or the relationship you're in just isn't working for you anymore.   
And then the internal feelings get triggered, maybe feelings of resentment and guilt, anger and frustration, or feeling “less than,” or invisible  or “never good enough” or "I don't deserve" to be happy.  Or perhaps you catch yourself being overly harsh, with yourself, or others, or overthinking everything, or just being afraid to try.  

And sometimes there's no single moment or event, you just have a lingering feeling that  something is not right.  And you realize that you don't have all the time in the world left to figure this out. 

Any of these sound familiar?  These are some of the emotional roadblocks that can keep you from creating a more satisfying life.  Working on accepting your own experience  and your own feelings, can lead the way to sorting out what you might do.   And to living a life that is more of a reflection of who you authentically are.

"Our first job in life as women is to get to know ourselves. I think a lot of times we don't do that.  We spend our time pleasing, satisfying, looking out into the world to define who we are, listening to the messages, the images, the limited definitions that people have of who we are. "
