Mentor Notes #65 - Reclaiming Your True Self


Mentor Note #65

Mentor Note:

The greatest journey is the one where you return to yourself - Sally Polihronas

Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

Sometimes we lose ourselves in life’s demands, forgetting who we are at our core. We get swept up in what others expect of us or who we think we need to be.

✨The power lies in remembering who you truly are, your values, your truth, and your essence because that's when you thrive.

I was having a chat to a friend the other day and she said " Sometimes I don't even know who I am anymore." OMG I totally related with what she said. I had experienced this a few times in my life.

As mothers you definitely morph into a new version of you, and also when you step into new roles at work or new projects. It takes a second to find yourself in those new roles, but if your values are strong and you always remain true to yourself you will be able to realign quickly.

The Takeaway

No matter how far you’ve strayed from your authentic self, you can always return. It’s about staying connected to the person you truly are, not who the world expects you to be.

Gosh I was a Popstar and with that came a whole lot of perception. People think they know you or they pop you in a box (she's a popstar she must be like this....... blah blah blah and they judge you without ever actually meeting you or knowing who you are as a person.

✨You do start to evolve through life experiences but when you are steadfast on your values and always check in with them and reevaluate, you can stay true to who you are and what you want.

Something To Try

Take a moment to reflect on a time you felt fully yourself.

➡︎ Write down the values that guided you in that moment and use these as reminders to stay true to who you are now.

Extra Note:

Evolving and real change is a process, you acquire wisdom, but you also shed the parts of yourself that no longer serve you.

Your values may change and that's ok, they may even change for a while and then change back. As long as you know what your values are at the time, you will always feel aligned and not like you are living your life through another version of you.

Grow - Evolve - Become

I appreciate you!

Hit REPLY and I want to hear if you know your values or if you need some help.

Much love

Sally xx

Mentor Note #152 Mentor Note: "Intuition whispers. Fear insists." - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, There are moments in life when the hardest thing isn't making the decision. It's trusting yourself enough not to make it too quickly. This week I made a decision that had been quietly sitting with me for weeks, actually months. It wasn't a decision I wanted to rush. In fact, I was determined not to. I've learnt that some of the biggest mistakes we make happen when we confuse a...

Mentor Note #150 Mentor Note: "The mirror will never smile before you do." - Unknown Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, Ok, I'm going straight in this week because when I read this quote I just had to share it. I literally paused and smiled when I read it. When you first read it, it sounds simple and maybe even obvious. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that most people wait for the outside world to change before they allow themselves to feel different on the inside. You wait...
