find my authentic self

Ironically, through this site, I’ve helped myself uncover more of my authentic self. Creating a list of goals makes me sit down and really think about what I want. Not what I think I should want. This makes me grow closer to who I truly am. It bridges the gap between my unconscious and conscious selves, so that in time I will just be one very aware self.

have somehow made me feel closer to my authentic self than I ahve ever felt before in my life. I think I have a better sense of self than any other time in my life. When I was young and I had a dream of finding Mr Right, the dream just flowed from there and I think that I let what I did influence who I thought I was. I knot now that I was always more than what I was, a wife, a mother, a housekeeper, an office manager. I let my dreams define who I was. I realize now that I am so much more than any one of those things but it took having them all stripped away for me to realize that. I am no longer a wife and my mothering days are almost all over ( don;t get me wrong, I know that there is still more mothering and grandmothering to do just not in the same form as before.) So now I must realize who I am based on just what I see in the mirror and feel in my heart. The greatest thing is, I can really feel it. I can feel who I am. The picture is clearer,there are still some blurry edges but it is slowly coming into focus. Yet I know it will always be like looking through a pool of water because the picture will always be changing. I am proud of that.
