Join Kj nNasrul and myself as we dive into this thought-provoking topic and uncover the essential role of self-awareness in our lives. With the COVID pandemic forcing us to confront our own reflections on screens, the importance of understanding ourselves has never been more crucial. In this episode, we discuss self-esteem, perfectionism, and the inner critic while touching on the uncomfortable yet rewarding practice of mirror work. Discover the connection between self-awareness, self-esteem, and authentic creativity as we explore the importance of relying on our inner compass, rather than seeking external validation. Learn how to embrace your unique gifts and talents and find an environment that nurtures your true self. Our conversation also covers the power of letting go and being present in our creative endeavors, cultivating a sense of freedom and joy through mindful self-talk and connection with our surroundings. Finally, we delve into the challenges of unlearning external validation and rediscovering our intuition. We discuss techniques for building self-confidence through practice and repetition, as well as the healing power of reading, journaling, and even retreats in Bali. It's time to embark on a transformative journey towards self-awareness, self-esteem, and finding your authentic creative self.  Kj's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/blissbeginswithin/ 𝐘𝐨𝐮 may also 𝐛𝐞 i𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 t𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 links: My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/margaretsoraya/ Online Creative Haven community https://creative-haven.newzenler.com Creative Festival https://creative-light.co.uk/ YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MargaretSoraya Retreats https://www.quietlandscapes.co.uk Weddings http://sorayaphoto.com
