Self Development-Where to Start

So I was talking to a friend recently, and I just casually mentioned all the internal work I am doing right now...(imposter syndrome, authentic speaking, throat chakra healing) and she shared being interested in working through her own shit, but knowing where to start.

I think this is a problem a lot of people struggle with...knowing they want to work on self improvement and learning more about themselves, but not being sure where to start.

There's lots of different directions you could go when deciding to work on personal growth. You could look up books and courses that have appealing titles and see what you discover about yourself. You could read books that interest you and see what you resonate with.

You could hire a coach *cough* like me, who could help point you in the right direction.

But in my opinion, a really great place to start is two places really: ask people who know you and are around you (and who are honest) what they think you struggle with the most. Then, go from there.

Another great thing you can do, and that I like to do, is check your chakras.

Chakras are energy centers in your body, and they impact everything from mood, to physical symptoms, to your behaviors. I would highly recommend buying a book on chakras (Cassie Uhl has a really nice short guide if you're just looking for an intro). See which symptoms for each chakra resonate with you the most, and then work on balancing that chakra.

Or, you could just start from the root chakra and work your way up, balancing as you go. I love to work with chakras in my sessions, and it's a great resource for me to help heal energy and it's a skill my clients can take with them.

Each chakra is very different and requires special attention to heal and be balanced. But having all of your chakras aligned leads to spiritual enlightenment and your life being aligned as well.

Leave a comment below and tell me which chakra you're working on! I'm currently working on my throat chakra. I talk too much :) Have a good day!!
