When you hear contradicting beliefs or opinions, you’re not overwhelmed or angry: you feel able to discern for yourself.
When someone is harsh, critical, or lashes out, you understand this is an indicator of their internal emotional state: not the truth of who you are.
You are beginning to believe you are worthy, whole, and have unique gifts to share with the world.
When making decisions, you spend time pausing and reflecting with yourself before asking others for their opinion or what they would do.
You make small promises to yourself and you keep them.
You are beginning to feel resistance to group think, group identities, and spaces where different opinions feel unwelcome or rejected.
You don’t view other people as helpless. You also do not view yourself this way.
You are becoming conscious (and questioning) childhood beliefs you inherited that are limiting or cause you to abandon yourself.
You are less controlling with those around you (an attempt to make yourself comfortable and protected) because you trust yourself to navigate whatever comes up.
