🌍 Stage 3: Real Life Lessons

“How do I live this new truth when the world still expects the old me?”

Hey love,

You’ve done the inner work.
You’ve cried the big tears.
You’ve seen your patterns and set the boundaries you never thought you could.

Now comes the real challenge: living it.

Not just healing in private…
But making choices in public.
Speaking differently.
Showing up differently.
Being different even when people want the “old you” back.

Welcome to the stage of integration.

🔍 What You Might Be Feeling:

• Frustrated that your outer life hasn’t caught up to your inner growth

• Judged or misunderstood by family, friends, or your partner

• Torn between wanting peace and still navigating chaos

• Tired of being the “strong one” or the “aware one”

• Like you’re doing everything right but still feeling like it’s not enough

This stage is HARD.
Not because you’re doing it wrong
But because you’re doing something real.

You’re trying to hold your truth while paying bills, raising kids, staying in integrity, and managing triggers that were wired into you for survival.

This is the part of the journey that doesn’t look spiritual but absolutely is.

💡 What’s Actually Happening

You’re bringing your awareness into action.
You’re aligning your external life with your internal truth.
And that friction you’re feeling?
That’s not failure, it’s evidence of transformation.

Old habits want to return.
Old dynamics want to test you.
But your new self is louder now.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about showing up as the real you, even when it’s messy.

🧰 What Helps in This Stage

🔎 1. Anchor to Your Values

Ask:

“What does my healed self choose in this moment?”
Not your perfect self, your present, intentional one.

Write down 3 values that matter to you.
Use them as decision-makers when things feel confusing.

⚔️ 2. Expect Friction

Not everyone will like this version of you.
Some people only loved the version of you that self-abandoned.

Let them fall away.
Let it hurt if it needs to.
But don’t let it pull you back.

🎉 3. Celebrate Micro-Wins

• You said no when it felt scary

• You paused before reacting

• You chose rest over guilt

• You let yourself cry without fixing it

Those are massive wins. This is how identity shifts stick.

🔥 4. Let Discomfort Be Your Proof

If it feels awkward, unnatural, or even painful, you’re doing it right.
Discomfort is part of the muscle memory of becoming someone new.

“I’m not going backwards. I’m learning how to be me in public.”

📝 5. Write From Your Future Self

Each day, ask:

“If I were already living in alignment, what would I say to myself today?”
Start writing from that version of you, the one who already got through this.

💬 Final Message

You don’t have to live in survival anymore.
You don’t need to hold the weight of every relationship, task, or trigger alone.

This is the part where you become someone new.
Not all at once.
But one aligned choice at a time.

You’re not behind.
You’re not faking it.
You’re becoming.

And that?
That’s where the magic lives.

With so much respect,
Awakened Wild Souls
(Still integrating. Still growing. Still choosing truth.)
