time to recognize

I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.  I knew I was meant for more.  Do those words resonate with you? I know I’m not the only one that has had the feeling that I was meant to do more. A college graduate with so much more to offer than the jobs I kept trying. I felt shame, envy, and frustration when I looked at my friend’s lives. How did they find love, passion, and purpose? How did I get so off track? How do I get off this hamster wheel lack luster life? I had always read the self-help books and did the work along with my reading but somehow never felt true transformation.

My family and friends assured me that I just hadn’t given something enough time or effort to really find the passion in work. And if that wasn’t the case, they tried to convince me that not everyone loves their jobs.  Seriously? It drains my soul to put money before happiness.

As a single woman with little relationship experience, I felt that if I just met a man, it would help alleviate the shame, envy, and frustrations. After many more years of not meeting my soul mate, I felt something must truly be wrong with me.

I had done one personal growth seminar years ago with my biggest take away being that I’m 100% responsible for my life and everything that has happened. What!? That’s crazy talk!? Years later, I realize that’s 100% true. I kept myself in a place that assured the self-fulfilling prophecy of I’m broke, lonely, and don’t know what to do with my life.

The root of all the problems and feelings come back to me.  I’m the one that needs the work.  I need to figure out why my brain doesn’t want to help me out of this situation and release the old stories.  How do I shift my mindset and old way of being?  It obviously isn’t working for me. 

This is where my growth journey started and this is why Solo with Soul was created.  I am going to share with you stories, tips, and tricks I used to shift my mindset and become the creator of my life.  Join me on this journey of transformation and self-discovery!
