Walk Your Own Path

Today you’re being reminded to walk your own path.

As you step out and choose to follow your own path, you may feel alone, because others don’t understand your choices.

It takes courage to stay true to yourself, especially when the world around you is invested in getting you to conform.

Conforming makes others feel comfortable.

They understand the rules, and they can make people feel safe.

Deep down, although many people may want change, they don’t make the changes because they feel confused at how their desires go against all they’ve been taught, so instead of exploring these feelings and their options, many people numb the feelings with various tools such as TV, food, alcohol, shopping, scrolling through social media…

When you choose to walk your own path, it can leave you feeling alone as many people don’t make the choice to follow theirs.

This can be compounded as when you do choose your own path, you can start to see the world, and behaviours in a very different way than you once did, different even from your friends and family who you thought once knew you best.

However, don’t allow loneliness to lower your standards or compromise your values and those things that are important to you.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you reconnect to what’s truly important to you.

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to seek out people and communities that share your values and beliefs of the world.

These could be in-person communities or on-line groups. You can connect with the shared stories of other people walking their own path through books, articles and podcasts.

Remind yourself that you aren’t alone.

Yes, you may feel different and/or misunderstood from your family and oldest friends.

Maybe they don’t ‘get you’ anymore.

But there are a whole lot more people who are searching to connect with someone just like you too.

Be open to creating new friendships.

Be okay with feeling lonely at times.

Reconnect with what’s important to you and where you are heading.

Pause, and take a breath. As you get clear with what’s important to you.

Today’s Affirmation:

“I consciously create my own life”
