What does it mean to have connection with self? 

Having a connection with oneself, often referred to as self-awareness, involves a deep and honest understanding of one's own thoughts, emotions, values, and identity. It means being attuned to your inner world, acknowledging both strengths and weaknesses, and having a genuine acceptance of who you are. Cultivating a connection with oneself involves introspection, self-reflection, and a willingness to explore personal experiences. This connection provides a foundation for personal growth, emotional well-being, and the ability to make choices aligned with one's authentic self. It's a continuous journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance that contributes to a more fulfilled and meaningful life.

3 Areas to Help Deepen your Connection with Self

7 Tips you can do to Stregthen your Connection with Self

• Begin journaling... not a to do list... but free flow writing, possibly in the mornings or before bed.
• Spend time with nature... a 10 minute walk without your phone can allow space for your mind to think new thoughts about what you truly desire or want in your life. 
• Do something creative (you don't have to be an artist).  Color, dance, sing, paint, bake, create soemthing new... allow yourself to be in a flow state... not thinking about a perfect product or taking yourself too seriously.
• Allow yourself to feel your emotions... and get curious.  Ask yourself why you are feeling what you are feeling and then give your body time to process the feelings. 
• Follow your gut/intuition.  Your body talks to you and guides you. Spend time in silence, breathe, and listen to what your body is telling you.   
• Spend every day learning something new... whether reading something, listening to new information, or by having a conversation with someone that offers you new information.  
• Move your body every day.  Stretch, walk, jog, dance, play a sport, etc.
