**First realization**

The moment you feel the feeling you don’t want to feel, you will get unstuck.

I experienced this both in journaling and in therapy this week.

The moment I admitted the thing I didn’t want to say, and wrote about the feeling I really didn’t want to feel, I did things I had been procrastinating on for a week.

I suddenly saw a new solution to my problems.

Because I think whatever we’re trying to suppress is also suppressing other answers.

**Second realization**

Contact your competitors.

As an entrepreneur, I realized I’ve mostly been friends with people who have social media businesses or agencies.

But that is not the business I am building or want to have.

My business is focused on positive psychology and tools to help people achieve their goals.

I was scared to contact people who had those businesses because I thought they would see me as a competitor.

But I realized they’re just peers.

Some of them probably don’t want to connect with me.

But some will.

This week, I reached out to someone I’m super inspired by.

I got a response.

Now we’re connected.

Now I regret not doing it sooner.

**Third realization**

You have to stay connected to unique souls if you are one.

I feel really different from most people.

Because I am.

I chose a non-traditional path.

I’m very curious and intense about my hobbies.

And I’ve connected with some people—specifically one person—who I feel deeply aligned with.

It has made my everyday life more beautiful.
