Episode 3 - Three Powerful Self-Discovery Questions to Reconnect With Yourself: Find Clarity, Purpose & Inner Peace with Melissa Crook
By Jessica Garrison
Our empowerment episode this week features Melissa Crook discussing the three questions that can help you reconnect to yourself: Who Am I, How Do I Want To FEEL, and What Nourishes Me? There’s no right or wrong answers to the questions, however they will be different depending on the season you are in and what is best for you at that given time.
Melissa suggests taking time each day to connect with yourself, such as journaling or meditating. Focus on your feelings and/or your layers, paying attention to what comes up for you in those moments. Give yourself grace and patience throughout this process. It’s easy to look back and judge our past selves for their decisions, but no one is perfect and some mistakes have to be made to get you to where you need to be.
Another way to get to know who you are better is to introduce yourself to people by your character traits, or adjectives that best describe you. Rather than sharing what you do for a living or what your personal dynamic looks like, share things you like to do in your free time. You are more than just the many hats you wear, and our roles can shift overtime, so it’s important to check in with yourself when you feel these things changing. Prioritize yourself and your needs so you’re able to take the best possible care of yourself, as well as others around you. Sometimes we need to be flexible with this, adjusting to what your needs are for that particular day. It’s between you and yourself, so make sure you’re fulfilling your own needs rather than pushing yourself to the backburner.
Ask yourself these three questions: Who am I? How do I want to FEEL? What nourishes me? If you’re having difficulty answering them, you can visit our website to schedule one on one personalized time with Melissa to help you figure it out. If you know what nourishes you but are having a hard time fitting it into your schedule, gift yourself with The Calendar Cleanse as a tool to free up your calendar so you can fill it with your own needs. Do not allow others to define you—define yourself.
Ways to Engage: WHO am I (how do I describe myself, NOT what do I do via titles, roles, etc.) ? How do I want to FEEL? What nourishes me? Spend some time with yourself this week on these 3 questions.
