The first step in this change would be to look at the experiences & relationships that shaped your developing years. This investigation gives you a heighted awareness of who you are & what do you what to do. The journey is both a struggle and an exquisite sense of discovery, but it will put you on your path to discovering your spiritual self.
We all perceive the world in our own unique way. this is because our view stems from our self-image and our self-esteem, often created from childhood childhood experiences that are also unique to each of us.
Over a lifetime we experience certain disappointments, hurts, shames, resentments and fears. these experiences might range from seemingly simple life changes - not getting a part in school play, moving to another town, getting into a fight with a best friend -to more obvious emotional trauma-not getting the promotion you expected, going through a divorce, experienceing the death of a loved one. Small or large, trivial or important, these difficulties are stored in our memory bank; they form the foundation of our self-image, our self-esteem & our expectations. they form our self Potrait.
Often, we stay stuck in this self-portrait. As adults, we construct our own world and from inportant relationships based on impressions of our selves, which were typically formed by age &. And we spend the rest of our lives reinforcing this self-potrait with behaviors that confirm our stuckness.
But we aren't all stuck in the same place. Some people are stuck in their childhood self-potrait, like me. Other people are stuck in their preteen self-potrait. Still others are stuck in their adolescent self portrait.
