Introspection

I am now at a point in my life where I am ready to look inward. I have followed and been a part of many diverse and different ways of looking at the universe, and have picked up a lot of great information and ideas, but also a lot of bad habits that are hindering my growth now.

I want to find the place within myself, the quiet, loving, caring me that will help guide my next thoughts and actions. A place I can go in times of strife or worry or doubt where I can be myself and find myself. I no longer enjoy "enforcing rules," especially since they are all made up in the first place. I want to release being "right" and "first."

I want to find a peace and joy with everyone I encounter, enjoying their laughter and uniqueness. I want to celebrate their triumphs and help guide them when they are low. I want to be joyful and find the good things in every situation. I want to be the brilliant and happy being I know that I am, that each of us are when we allow ourselves to be ourselves.

Some of the techniques I have learned so far are from Eastern philosophy, though not necessarily unique to them. Yoga and meditation have been really helpful tools and I am looking forward to integrating more of those into my daily routine. I also want to do more visualizing, creating a path to happiness through conjuring more of the things I want to experience in my life. No limits!

Writing has also been very cathartic and I am happy to be able to speak my truths and offer my thoughts to my readers, as well as allowing my thoughts to flow with an energy all their own. And, with this practice, I am feeling more and more confident in my art and more comfortable offering myself to the world. I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to share my knowledge and love to those who want it.
