Welcome to School of Soul

I'm Adeline Atlas, the author of the School of Soul Series, a six-time published author, master manifestor, and your cheerleader bestie on the internet! I'm here to help you live the life you know you deserve. 

There’s a powerful metaphor I often use to explain the feeling of being stuck: It's like standing in the right room but facing the wrong direction. This feeling of never quite feeling at home or truly doing what you're meant to do can be incredibly frustrating. You might have a naked calling, an inner knowing of what you’re meant to do, yet still feel off track.

This misalignment can often be due to fear, comfort, or a lack of clarity. Recognizing that you’re facing the wrong direction is the first step to turning around and aligning yourself with your true path. It’s important to take a step back and assess your life from a broader perspective. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our daily routines that we lose sight of our true passions and purpose.

Redirecting yourself involves introspection and honesty. It requires acknowledging where you are, where you want to be, and the gap between the two. This process can be challenging, but it’s essential for realigning with your true path and finding fulfillment.

Exercise:

  1. Reflect on Misalignment: Take time to reflect on areas of your life where you feel out of alignment. This could be your career, relationships, or personal goals.
  2. Write Down Passions and Callings: Make a list of your true passions and callings. What activities or pursuits make you feel alive and fulfilled?
  3. Identify Barriers: Write down what’s holding you back from pursuing these passions. This could be fear, doubt, or external circumstances.
  4. Take Small Steps: Identify small steps you can take to start turning in the right direction. This could mean taking a course, seeking mentorship, or dedicating time each day to work on your passions.

Overcoming Fear and Comfort

Comfort, even when accompanied by pain, can hold us back. We often fear the unknown, even though it could bring us less pain and more joy. This fear keeps us stuck in our comfort zones, preventing us from experiencing the growth and success we deserve.

To overcome this, it’s essential to embrace discomfort and see it as a necessary part of the journey. Pushing through fear and stepping out of your comfort zone will open up new possibilities and lead to greater fulfillment. Remember, growth happens outside of your comfort zone. When you challenge yourself and face your fears, you expand your capabilities and resilience.

Fear often masquerades as safety, but it’s an illusion that keeps you from reaching your potential. Recognize that discomfort is temporary and a sign that you are stretching and growing. Embrace it with courage and curiosity.

Exercise:

  1. Identify Comfort Zones: Reflect on areas where you are too comfortable and stagnant. This could be in your career, relationships, or daily routines.
  2. Challenge Yourself: Set goals that push you out of your comfort zone regularly. This could be trying a new activity, speaking up in meetings, or setting higher goals.
  3. Reflect on Growth: After stepping out of your comfort zone, reflect on the growth and opportunities that arise. How did you feel? What did you learn?
  4. Positive Affirmations: Use positive affirmations to combat fear and build confidence. Examples include “I am capable of overcoming challenges,” “I embrace discomfort as a path to growth,” and “I am fearless and resilient.

Embracing the concept of finite steps, inviting space for grace, recognizing misalignment, and overcoming fear and comfort are crucial steps to leveling up in life. By actively engaging in these practices, you can move closer to becoming the person you want to be and achieving your goals.
