art of the process of recovery, is you often feel you have lost your sense of self. It may not feel like it right now, but this
is an excellent opportunity to rebuild yourself into a more authentic you and come out the other-side a much happier, joyful person. You'll have an incredible positive outlook in life and the unlimited knowing ability that you can create the life you really want for yourself and your family.
It takes courage to do this and not just distract yourself by self medicating with work, alcohol, sex, drugs, old patterns of poor relationships and generally looking for anything to avoid feeling what needs to come up in order to truly heal and avoid repeating past life patterns, which will eventually give you even more pain until you decide to deal with it.
I have put together some inspiring and validating reading that I have used myself. Especially relevant after toxic relationships, one of the greatest gifts I was ever given to rebuild myself to the greatest expression of a human being and the very strong and inner powerful man I am today. I'we used these and many other titles to create not only a new intellectual and emotional experience, but an understanding of our greatest existence on this planet as energetic being having a physical human experience.

Researcher, thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a new vision in Daring Greatly that encourages us to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly and courageously.

Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect. Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of social research, across the home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.
