Journey Back to Soul - Week 1

Welcome to the first soul journey of this experience. This week's journey focuses on discovering the unqiue gifts, strengths, and wisdom you naturally possess. You will discover qualities and abilities that come more naturally to you than others and its all because of who you are at your core, your true self, your soul.

So if you're ready, get your notebook and pen and let's get started.

Strategy: Discovering Your Best Self

First, I want you to think of 3 of your happiest memories you can think of, where you just loved everything about where you were, who you were, what you were doing -- where you just LOVED LIFE in that moment. The first 3 that come to mind are great.

Now write down 1 or 2 times you felt proud of yourself. You accomplished something that made you proud, you did something really hard that you weren’t sure you’d be able to do but you did it, or you performed really well at something and was proud of yourself for it.

Write down 1 or 2 hobbies you have that you enjoy or remember enjoying in your past.

ALRIGHT. Now we are going to analyze these memories. Your subconcious mind brought forward these specific memories for a reason so lets see if we can figure out why. Answer the following questions about each memory the best you can and you'll see what it means and why its important at the end.

GREAT WORK!! Now for the easy part. I want you to look over what you wrote and underline the words or phrases that stand out to you most! Take a couple minutes to do that and then read the next part.

The things you underlined, that stood out to you most, are your natural soul qualities, strengths, and gifts. They are what shines through whether you were aware of it or not. But what you noticed for sure was that when you were in that moment, you felt like your best self. They are why people appreciate you and sometimes why people are jealous of you. But acknowledging, valuing, and claiming our soul strengths and gifts restores our self-worth naturally and helps us show up more authentically and effectively in our relationships, work, home, and our hobbies.

Read over these memories and strengths every night before bed. You can even make a separate list of them and put it where you can see it throughout the day. Claim them. Notice how being aware of them helps you throughout your day.

I would love to hear about your soul gifts you just discovered and answer any quetions you have for me on the group coaching call on Saturday. Until then, just enjoy being YOU and the incredible person you truly are!
