Discovering joy and understanding yourself begins with cultivating awareness of your daily experiences and emotional states. Joy doesn’t have to come from one grand passion but can be found in small, uplifting moments like a walk in nature or relaxing with a good book. Challenges can also offer insight, helping you clarify what you want and guiding you toward positive change. Resistance often makes self-discovery feel difficult, but it stems from the brain's doubts about worthiness, effort, or imagining the good. By focusing on small, actionable steps and challenging limiting beliefs, you can move closer to a fulfilling and authentic life.
