What would your advice be for someone trying to find themselves? How do you go about doing that?

Thanks for your patience
in me getting back to you on this question – I needed a few days to think about
it! 

A quote came up on my
dashboard right before I read this, and I think it’s worth mentioning as I
frame my answer:

“Be easy. Take your time.
You are coming home to yourself.” –Nayyirah Waheed

I think it’s important to
remember first and foremost that your Self is with you all along, sometimes we
just need help fully connecting with, and accepting, that sense of true self that
lies at our core. So don’t worry, your self hasn’t gone anywhere, you’re just
finding your way home.

For a lot of us, I think
it’s just the feeling that we lack a self that we can rely on. We jump between
phases, between likes and dislikes, between being open and being closed. 

As far as day to day steps
to “coming home,” so to speak, I think discipline and regularity is important
in order to create a stable base to work from – keep your environment neat,
fill it with creative things, feed yourself healthy foods, make sure you have a
regular sleeping pattern. Once you have a stable foundation, you can confront
some of the issues that might be holding you back from embodying your fullest
self – evaluate all thoughts and habit patterns that leave you in anxious flux,
see where they come from, fall down the rabbit hole. 

Uncovering, and accepting,
the things you find down your conscious and subconscious rabbit hole will help
you feel connected to that core sense of self. The method of doing that is
different for everyone – maybe it’s meditation, therapy, creating art, or doing
yoga. Whatever channel you intuition leads you toward, follow that.

Wishing you light on your
path, and my inbox is always open to you along your journey!
