I’m a little bit inconsistent this week with blog subjects. It’s because so much new insight is popping. Today, we will begin a mini-series exploring Lenses of Self.

Key to making Bold Moves is developing the skill of self-reflection. Navigating the process of becoming self-reflective is very tricky because of the distortions we get as our ego looks for answers in the outside world. We look to religion, or to philosophers, or to pop psychology, or to the neighborhood wise woman, and we get confused because what they give us is always wrapped in some form of dogma or ism. Many isms come in the form of “shoulds” that don’t necessarily align with our individuality.

We can slog through all of the distorted lenses, sifting and sorting for what rings true to us. This can take a lifetime. But there is a way to greatly speed up the process so that we can, more readily, dance that life in our own unique steps. So, how do we avoid getting trapped in isms?

The answer, tomorrow!
