But so often over time we come to believe that we are our story identifying so strongly with the tales we’ve told ourselves and others that we cling to them for our very existence—even when they don’t quite fit. The realization that there’s a discrepancy between the narrative you’ve crafted and your authentic self can be disconcerting at first but the exploration of that gap is a doorway to personal freedom and this book will lead you through it.The writing exercises in this guide one for nearly every week of the year ask you to tell the whole truth about your experience. In doing so you’ll come to realize that once you engage in this radical truth-telling expressing yourself with complete honesty your story changes; and when your story changes your life is transformed. Rather than sticking with your illusive and tricky “Story of Me” you’ll be prompted to go even deeper piercing your personal myth and illuminating aspects of psyche and spirit that give way to profound moments of understanding and personal healing.This is not a how-to book for writers; it’s an invitation on a journey of self-discovery—a guide to facing yourself without flinching accepting yourself as you are surrendering to what is and daring to question and transform what isn’t true. With Writing to Awaken you’ll learn how to break free from the trance of mistaken identity and discover your essential authentic self.
