I had a really painful moment of awakening in 2017 and had a really hard time digging myself out of a profound depression, a time I couldn't find joy in anything, couldn't allow myself to love anymore, was too afraid to open my heart, to open myself to let love in my life again. To be able to start building my trust in myself again, I looked for alternative types of therapy, energy healing, started to read everything I could find about mindset, energy work, neuroscience, quantum physics. I tried different approaches, teachers and techniques, until my path brought me to Mindvalley and the "Be Extraordinary" quest.
It was challenging in so many ways. It's always out of our comfort zone to take a deep, compassionate, profound look at ourselves and own the responsibility for everything that happens to us (for us), all the suffering, resentment, guilt, shame, worry we carry around. Be Extraordinary to me is about being myself. I followed the program adamantly. Showed up every day, did all the exercises, found the support of the FB community, but most importantly, opened up the space inside me to let change happen. It's strange in so many ways. I was expecting an explosion, fireworks, a switch to change everything magically. But that didn't happen. However, I was able to finish writing a script that has been haunting me for 12 years, and started showing it around with great feedback. I'm exercising again. I'm more mindful of what I eat. I dropped almost 5 kgs in the past 3 months. My score on the Preparation Guide went 1 point up for every question. I feel more peaceful and confident. That burning feeling in the pit of my stomach is gone. I finished the quest the same week the lockdown was put in place here in London. Somedays are harder than others but I have a constant feeling of trust in the Universe. A deep knowledge that things are going to work out at their own time, in their own way. Control is the big deal for me, open up and accept that there is a wisdom higher than my own that brings everything together magically. It's hard to access how much the quest has done for me because it feels like the whole world is at a stand still right now. If it wasn't for the quest, I would be in bad shape right now. With the tools I have, I choose to look at this moment from a spiritual and metaphysical perspective. I live the moment, I pay attention to my thoughts, my feelings. I meditate to create a space for change to happen. It's hard to describe. Be Extraordinary is to believe so deeply that I know the Universe will find a way to make my purpose be fulfilled, my gifts be shared with the world, as I slowly and steadily become myself again. It's the most wonderful feeling. It's a bigger, better, bolder way to live.
