How much of your life have you been trying to find a place to fit?
Whether its in a relationship, community or belief system our quest to find a place where we belong can lead to some interesting conflict spots in our lives.
Most of us know that we are unique, that we go our own way and don't quiet "fit the mold" in a traditional sense.
Yet we still seek out people who see, acknowledge and accept us as a way of knowing that we aren't alone and to feel supported.
There's nothing wrong with that desire but unfortunately we go about creating it in weird ways that can constrict our inner selves, desires and full potential for growth.
There is a lot more possible to have a sense of connection, to yourself and with others, without the need to fit in, join up or belong.
In this episode we'll explore:
- The mental constructs we use that keep us out of authentic connection
- Square peg in a round hole syndrome
- How to find a sense of home within yourself
- The power of looking inward to find what you've been seeking - that lets you enjoy life more
- Enjoying your difference no matter who or what accepts it or not
