Life Area: Self Expression
Healing begins with self connectedness. Our culture has taught us to go outside of ourselves to be healed by sources other than ourselves. Time will be spent seeking quick fixes through others in positions of authority. Check in this week and notice if you are still seeking or if you have come to a point of longing for change. Balance the needs you have for having someone tell you what you should be doing versus the needs you have for being your own learning guide.

Learning a new language is a new culture. You even think differently! It doesn’t take courage to learn a new language it takes time, effort and patience. It can be stimulating and inspiring. Now, here’s the thing, take your birth language and consider creating a new one while noticing your thought/speaking patterns. With a new language you are developing new brain pathways. Changing your language you are retraining old pathways in your brain and creating new. Now add to it that you are stepping free of the herd and being the change. This is courage!
