Who do you want to be?
Who have you become?
Without a thought you can slip into the same person you always were. The ideas and habits fit like a favourite outfit. Quick and easy, you gather what was around you.
But it feels wrong somehow. Like clothes that are a bit too tight. Patterns that aren't quite right anymore. A life that has gone out of style.
Who are you now?
Who do you want to be?
Who have you become?
Maybe you wonder what's wrong with you? You've always done it this way. Always acted and reacted in these ways. But nothing feels quite right anymore. Something has changed.
The something is you. You don't fit in the box that was your comfort zone anymore. Trying to make yourself fit doesn't work instead it makes you feel sick and shamed. No longer content with playing small and swallowing your truth you yearn for a more authentic experience.

Learning the answers to those questions takes time and effort. It means stretching and growing. It means exploring where your new values don't line up with old behaviours. It means creating boundaries, losing people that you love and shedding old habits.
It means becoming someone new, some one stronger, someone braver. It means creating an honest, authentic, real life experience. It means living a life that aligns with who you are now, after the storms have passed.
Who are you now?
