Who are you uninterrupted?
This question made me stop dead in my tracks. What was my answer to this question? This has been the self-discovery journey I have been on since I reached my breaking point.
Here’s a little backstory… I spent my whole life cruising down a path that I felt would lead me to happiness, fulfillment and meaning. I was all about checking those boxes, doing what I thought I should do – you know, the whole drill.
But truth be told, I hit mid-life, and it hit me right back. I suddenly realized I had no clue who I really was (who I was uninterrupted). It was like I’d been playing a character in someone else’s story.
That wake-up call prompted a serious soul-searching journey. I started asking myself…
What do I actually want?
Who am I when no one’s watching?
Jung calls this journey of self-discovery Individuation. He describes it as the psychological process of becoming the person one is meant to be, realizing and fulfilling one’s unique potential. I like to call it the journey to living Wild Awake.
Either way you slice it (individuation or living wild awake) this journey is like finding the real you in the midst of life’s craziness. It’s about digging deep into your own mind, facing both the cool and not-so-cool sides of yourself. It’s all about being super aware and connected, not just sleepwalking through life. It means ditching the usual rules and expectations to be your true, unfiltered self.
This whole process helps you figure out what really matters to you, what gets you pumped up, and why you’re here on this wild ride.
Whether you resonate with individuation or living wild awake, both paths are your ticket to rocking life with your unique style and gaining a deep understanding of who you truly are.
Discovering myself has been a wild ride—untangling expectations, finding the real me. It’s challenging, but totally worth it and I’m excited for what the future brings.
Let me ask you…
Who are you interrupted?
What do you actually want?
Who are you when no one is watching?
