When life is a battle

I thought that feeling sad, hopeless and unfulfilled was normal, that life is tough

________________________

Ever since I can remember, I felt that something was wrong. I had a feeling of loss, deep sadness, and a sense of having a wasted, unfulfilled life. I felt I needed to be fixed. 

And I blamed it all outside.

On my childhood, on getting married too soon at 20 (when I became Vanessa), on my son's birth with congenital heart desease,  or on a failed marriage.

I blamed it on a flailing job hoping an EMBA would fix it. 

I was swamped in so many struggles, in financial strains and debts that kept me tied to a job that I hated,  just to survive.

Mounting weight gain and an uphill battle with my mental health made it tougher. I ended up with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, unemployed and unable to work for more than 3 hours a day. 

I felt lost, I felt unfulfilled, I felt my life had no meaning, no purpose, no reason for being.

My Story

How I became Aru

________________________

I was lost

The main struggle was finding the right person who would understand me and would help

________________________

A search for healing drove me into the depths of self development, to find a way. I knew, deep down that there was a way.

I found my professional path as a coach, and became very involved in the Inner Development Goals movement. That was the moment that I began tapping into my inner world .

I knew I was on to something, as I felt my inner self becoming expanded through presence and love, through powerful tools and techniques. 

I finally realised that it is all up to me. I didn't need fixing. All I needed was to choose who I want to be.

To stop acting as a victim, and to choose how I want to show up in life

I looked at my ego face to face, and decided to transform it into the person I deserve to be.

And finally I found my way.

While on an Inner Development retreat in a beautiful cloud forest in Costa Rica, I assured my sad inner girl that she did not need to be sad any longer. She can stop being sad and fearful.

I looked up and saw the hummingbirds you see in this picture. ( photo courtesy of my dear friend Gerasimos Kouvaras, AFIAP).

And I made the choice. The choice of being joyful and live life with enthusiasm. And of transforming my inner self and inner identity, becoming the person I wish to be. 

And with that I let go of Vanessa, the butterfly I had been since adopting the name at 20, and became Aru my true self: calm, light and grace. 

I was finally ready to inspire and help others in their path to transformation.

My transformation was self made

But you are not alone. I can help you in your journey to self discovery.
