Questions to help you reconnect with yourself

Think of a situation from your past that turned out to be difficult, and perhaps the little voice in your head, your intuition, began telling you from the very beginning: “Don’t do this.”

We can lose touch with our inner power when...

• we ignore our intuition
• we say yes to things we really want to say no to
• we stay in relationships or careers that we know deep down will never be what we want
• we hold onto negative emotions, thoughts, things, people, places and situations
• we are not fulfilling our creative side
• we are unwilling to forgive, including forgiving ourselves
• our mind and heart are closed to the new and unknown
• we’re unwilling to be honest with ourselves and/or others
• we don’t allow ourselves to want what we really want

The list is long.

Now say thank you to yourself and know that you have done your best up to this point, given what you knew.

The truth is, we can never be anywhere except where we are. But we’re never stuck unless we choose to stay stuck.

So, what do we do now? How do we move forward from here?

Get really honest with yourself

• What do you really want?
• What do you no longer want?
• What needs forgiving or letting go of?

Where are you spending your energy?

• How much of your energy are you still investing in your history?
• What people, places, thoughts and situations are you choosing every day that feel as though they drain you of your life force?

What choices are you making?

• Where do you choose not to tell the truth?
• In what ways are you being incongruent?
• Are there any areas where you’re not living with integrity?

As challenging as this can be, and it is, this is the real work that so many people don’t know about or avoid. To live a fulfilling life that you will be proud of, this type of work can be an important part of the process. It’s not “if” you do this work, but “when”.
