My north star, I would say is me. Pushing myself, realising that I am on a journey, same as everyone else, it doesnt make me lesser or better. I know I owe it to myself to learn, act and grow. To never give up.

Hi, I have been evaluating my future for a few years, and what has guided me is “To follow my inner penguin.” That may sound silly, but to me, it means to follow my passions, what I love, and my dreams. Last year, I attended a mindfulness seminar….and I realized what I was missing in order to follow my inner penguin to its fullest potential.

Now, I won’t go into details about mindfulness at this time. However, it has been eye-opening for helping me to clarify my thoughts, calm my stress/anxiety, and feel comfortable and competent to spread my penguin wings and soar. I have set my plans into motion for becoming a mindfulness teacher, working with my beloved penguins overseas and sea turtles in North America, and also returning to school to get at least one additional masters degree–educational psychology.

As I have told people for many years (and they thought I was joking), I still am deciding what I will be when I am grown up. As a person who has lived several decades, I think I have now determined what I want to be next. However, I never intend to stop growing, learning, and becoming.

Recently my North Star has been myself. I have been tuning into how I feel since making the huge and scary decision to ditch my greatest contributor of my stress and depression, the pursuit of my Master’s degree. Most days I beat myself up pretty bad for giving up, telling myself that I’m overreacting or that I’m just not trying hard enough. But when I tune into my body I recognize how much better I feel. I feel energized. I feel healthy. I’m motivated and inspired. I feel happy again. I haven’t felt that in a long time. I still worry that I’m throwing my life away, but the content in the 30 days of Health has been very inspiring and has provided a great deal of comfort during this difficult decision.

My North Star is my higher power, God, who saw fit to give me an Extended Stay here on this planet, despite my repeated attempts to leave via drugs & alcohol. Wow, He has a great plan for me! Glad I got sober! I used to be afraid of everything. Didn’t like my life, so I pretended it was different. Created a little dream world. Now I am Brave! Ready to face reality how it is, not how I want it to be. My husband is in prison with a Life sentence for something he didn’t even do. Now he is brave too. Once I quit drinking and faced up to being out here by myself I realize I am not alone on this journey.

I was recently guided, by a friend, in the area of clutter and baggage in my life. Failing to declutter, physically, creates stagnant areas in life – both mentally and physically, as well. I am feeling stuck and it’s because my life has been cluttered with so much stuff…
Time for a positive change; and it starts with getting rid of stuff that I don’t need! I know it will be a challenge; but I’m looking forward to what victory will bring!

My North Star is and has always been my children! They and their needs and wants guide me where I need to go. And I will always find a way to get there!❤️

What has guided me this week is the new found desire to not give up and not give in. My severe anxiety and depression has been extremely close to crippling me. It has affected my family and ability to have friendships. I have found the courage to seek out and stick with therepy. I am braver than I thought. 🙂

Joy it doesn’t have to be a person. It can be something spiritual or a goal that guides you to a better life. Look deeper and see what your North Star is. I’m sure you have one but maybe at the moment you don’t realize it. Look at your life and what’s going on and what drives you. That would be your guide. Let us know if you find it. Good luck!

Truly it has been to spend some quiet time first thing in the morning connecting with spirit. There is something magical about that peaceful time, so full of promise and opportunity.

My North Star…is constantly growing as a person. Becoming kinder, more intentional, more patient, more honest. Speaking up when necessary and then knowing when to just listen. It’s leaning to share myself with the world and being open with it.
