Welcome to Wake Myself Up!
Thank you for deciding to journey with me through life and all its messiness. We can all get stuck and need a little helping hand to get us up and at ’em.
I absolutely know that we ALL have it in ourselves to unstuck ourselves. To Wake Ourselves Up. Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom — or sometimes it takes having yourself reflected back to you and not liking what you see. Perhaps you just KNOW you can be a better person. For yourself — for someone else. OR maybe you know that there must be MORE to life and our true purpose than what we’ve been told to believe.
Whatever the reason, I can help.
For me — it was all the above. I hit rock bottom. After meeting my ‘mirror,’ I discovered I had a TON to work on within myself…because it nearly cost me everything. I knew if I didn’t change I would lose out on being completely happy for the rest of my life. So, I did it for us. But, most importantly, I did it for ME. Because, at the end of the day, it’s ourselves we have to be with inside our brain…ALL THE TIME. If we don’t like ourselves, we won’t like what goes on inside at all.
My brain needed to STOP the nonsense thoughts, the worry, the negative self-talk, the obsessive small minded notions built from issues stemming from childhood. I wanted it all GONE. It was important that I heal. The ME I knew I was — was there deep inside. I was just waiting to be free of my worldly brain.
Let me tell you — it wasn’t easy.
No WAY was it easy. I took a long hard look at myself through someone else’s eyes — and it was about the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. To own up to my faults. Acknowledging them and to consciously work through them.
It was painful — I’m not going to sugar coat it. I hit my breaking point many times…and, if I’m being honest, my ‘mirror’ had his breaking point tested many times, too. I was lucky…my mirror didn’t break. He held true and shiny and full of love for me. Every day. Even on the days I couldn’t stand myself. If it had been ANYONE else, I would be lost. I would have lost everything. But, I didn’t.
I decided I needed to WAKE MYSELF UP and be accountable for my thoughts, actions, words and life.
My brain and my ego needed to hit RESET so I could start fresh. I met my inner child and encouraged her to grow into what she was meant to be. A person I could be proud of. Moreover, I became a person I could LOVE unconditionally.
