“How To Reclaim Your Feelings To Live The Life You Deserve”

A personal Journey to Self Discovery

Throughout our lives we experience exhilarating highs and devastating lows. We’re on this rollercoaster called life , strapped in and on for the ride, with no slowing down .

From the day we are born, we”re constantly learning , growing , and evolving . But there”s not one “ here”s how to do life manual in sight . It”s entirely up to us to experience the lives we have , what we bring to the world and how we will make our mark .

But during our development, we were told no to our favourite sweets, scolded for touching the clothes at the store, and sent to our room without dessert for not finishing dinner .

These moments started to shape the way we view ourselves . I”m getting told off so, “I must be bad “, “ Im not good enough”, or “ I cant do anything right “ every thought twists and turns , spiralling into the tape of our own inner thoughts .

Forming an endless loop of self - doubt..

Over and over , as though the play button has gotten stuck, and we can’t shut it off. As we grow, we bring this tape into our schooling years . Kids are mean , they reaffirm that we”re ugly, stupid, and weird, and we leave school hoping never to return .

We Venture into the real world to get a job, but “ Wait . We don”t feel like an adult” These wounds were cut so deep that our self- confidence feel like it missing altogether . Sound familiar?

Your”re not alone. 1in 7 children suffer from anxiety and depression.

With the demands from parents , caregivers , schooling systems and society at large, a child”s free spirited nature starts to fade .

Children then take these ill thoughts and feelings with them into adulthood, into every venture, every relationship and day to day tasks .

But where do these thoughts and feelings come from?

Moulded and formed from years of mistreatment and neglect. Even the simple act of being to know how you speak to yourself in adulthood.

Your Childhood may have consisted of half- love , performance pressure, or overbearing attention .

The way you were raised shapes you into the person you are today. But if you find you put yourself down , make jokes to deflect the pain, and you struggle to sit in silence with yourself out of fear and guilt .

You can undo the damage.

You can erase your internal script and re write a new one .

And this is what happened to a friend of mine . She had struggled with crippling anxiety for years , her internal script making her feel 1 inch tall.

She struggled to believe she deserved a happy relationship or promotion in her job.

And came to me one day feeling completely lost.

She knew I had been on a self healing journey since my early years and wanted to understand how she could over come the demons she was feeling and thinking to live a life she loved .

I asked her, “ How would you feel about getting yourself on The Right Path” ?

We talked about daily rituals and how I realised that I didn’t need to be a victim of my feelings and thoughts .

We talked for hours about the nature of self healing , overcoming limiting beliefs and being able to believe that you”re worthy of the life you dream and wish to have.

After months of deep healing work , she recounts her experience on The Right Path below .

“ I have always been a unique character. My parents were eccentric people who loved experiencing new things , attending social events and travelling to amazing places. I am the eldest of four, and as my younger brothers came in to the world , my parents became increasingly stressed. They started to worry about money and became uptight and bitter .

They lashed out at us after a long day at work . We were told , “Stop making so much noise”, and “Children should be seen and not heard”. When we went to the shops , we constantly heard, “ Thats too expensive”, Put that down . “ We cant afford that” and so forth .

It became clear to my brothers and me that we could not be just “be” children and that my parents struggled with money.

Throughout my teenage years , I pursued a few different areas of art, drama, dancing and painting .Still when we spoke about going to university and pursuing a career, it way always “ you need to get a real job” or “ you need to attend university to be successful”.

Over and over , the script was reaffirmed in my mind . I had to get a stable corporate job to afford to live my life .

As I got older the stress I faced around money grew stronger and stronger. It crippled me . I saved every penny . I never enjoyed myself on a night out . I was living pay cheque to pay cheque.

I had to ensure I was always secure in my job , so I never took risks .

I hated myself.

I knew I wanted more, but I was convinced I did not deserve it .

This was until I found The Right Path, a journey to self discovery.

I was ready. I was at rock bottom and had nowhere else to go.

I spoke to Mick about my experience, childhood , limiting beliefs, and crippling anxiety. He mentioned how he re wrote his internal script and urged me to dive deep.

And so I did .

I sat with myself for hours , retracing my steps through out life . I looked back at the very beginning , where my self doubts stemmed from .

I saw my parents and their worried faces. I constantly came across “lack”.

I always thought I was lacking , lacking in money , friendships and love .

I never felt good enough .

So I started to journal my thoughts . I began with re-discovering my core values , what made me , me .

As I wrote , I released emotions I had not felt for years, suppressed from years of anger and resentment.

It felt so good .

So I kept going . I journaled my strengths , weakness and aspirations.

The Right Path Journal became my saviour . I could map out my values in specific months , helping me see where I could improve now and in the future.

Its been 6 months since I started my deep healing work, and I feel lighter than ever.

I applied for a promotion at my job, and I got accepted. I have found beautiful friends, and Im falling in love with who I am as a person everyday .

I also make sure to stick to self- care rituals everyday.

I attend ecstatic dance classes weekly to help release trauma and negativity stored in my body. I let myself cry at everything ! Its genuinely cathartic .I exercise at least 30 minutes daily, weather yoga, boxing , weights or something completely new . I feel into my body and follow what she desires.

I am grateful that I found The Right Path Journal. “Well, I feel it found me”
