Tuning in to you
Let’s be honest: figuring out our passions can be an extremely challenging journey. Life is extremely difficult, and sometimes, it takes all of our energy just to keep our heads above water.
In moments like these, the idea of 'finding your calling' can feel distant, almost luxurious. We might think, 'Who has time for soul-searching when there are bills to pay and deadlines to meet?' But what if discovering our passions isn't a luxury but a vital lifeline, and once you tune in, the rest of the universe bends its will to serve you in your journey of resilience?
This section isn't about adding another task to your already overflowing plate. It's about creating a space for gentle exploration, a moment to reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been overshadowed by the demands of daily existence. We'll acknowledge the challenges, the fatigue, and the feeling of being lost. And then, we'll begin to gently unravel the threads of your inner world, to discover the subtle clues that point towards your unique gifts and callings.
