"Since the moment I made that decision, I received so much help"
Before this program, I lived in an abusive relationship| and isolated myself from everyone and everything. I had my dog, my remote job, a land and a house we were constructing. Then, It looked like the right way to live, but I knew I was miserable in the relationship and saw no bright future, I was sacrificing the things I truly loved for the sake of a belief that all would turn out well eventually someday. For the first time in years, I decided to invest in myself and buy the Mindvalley membership. I wanted a better salary and a better relationship. After one week of dedicated soul work exactly as Regan instructed, I reached the lesson about "real life assessment", where I had to open my eyes and look at my life as it was. Then what struck me was her sentence: "YOUR LIFE IS WHAT YOU AGREE TO TOLERATE". The next day we had a fight in the car. I suddenly realized that I didn't want to tolerate this anymore. I realized that I didn't have to. When the fight escalated into a physical one, I took the courage and got out of the car. I left for good, leaving everything behind. I took the most important thing with me - My SOUL. Since the moment I made that decision, I received so much help! I got into therapy, started singing again, got back to writing, drawing, photographing, smiling and laughing. Today I see clearly my path and what I want from life, what I am going to do. I feel my boundaries and feel confident to protect them. I enjoy my relationships with my family, I don't have any toxic people around me anymore. I work every day on my project to build the life of my dreams.
My story isn't finished yet, it is just the beginning. I chose to show my eyes before and after, as the window to the soul.
