Chapter 1: Understanding Yourself

Have you ever paused to ask yourself, "Who am I?" Or have you allowed external influences to shape your identity? This question is crucial. If you remain unaware of your true self, you risk being swept away by advertisements dictating how you should feel, who you should aspire to be, and why their products are essential for your transformation. This manipulation extends to food companies as well, which often induce guilt and shame, compelling you to say "yes" to choices that detract from your core values. If this pattern continues, five years down the line, you may find yourself wondering why you haven't progressed.

My Personal Reflection — Who Am I? I AM… - A contemplative and autonomous thinker - Someone who pays attention to detail and takes their time - A supporter of others in their endeavors - Determined, but only in areas that resonate with my soul - A leader who exemplifies countercultural values

I NEED… - Time and space for reflection - Solitude to recharge

I truly admire those who can maintain a fast pace, but I must embrace my own nature. I am grateful for those who understand and accept my way of being without imposing their expectations upon me.

The Balance of Self-Discovery What’s the answer to finding yourself?

The answer is NOT… Embracing every flaw without reflection. Absolutely NOT! Recognizing your shortcomings is essential.

Indulgences that bind you will lead to your downfall. For instance, had I accepted my struggles with food, labeling it as simply part of who I am—like carbohydrate addiction—I shudder to think where I’d be today. Instead, I assert: “That’s NOT who I am!”

While it is a challenge I face, it does not define me. My true essence goes far beyond that.

It's crucial to delve into your core.

Consider this: What brings profound satisfaction to your spirit? You will instinctively know. What activities invigorate you, and which ones drain your energy?

Take time to sit in silence with your thoughts (even if you are typically busy!) and reflect. If you wish to capture these insights and grow from them, write them down!

Avoid comparing yourself to others; their paths are not yours. Only YOU can uncover the depths of your soul.

So, I ask once more: Who Are You? The key to your identity lies solely within you.

I have dedicated years to mastering my food cravings that were once detrimental to my life. My mission now is to assist others in achieving the same. If you’re interested in learning from my journey, I encourage you to subscribe to my weekly email updates.
