What did i achieve from my Spiritual Journey?

Undergoing a spiritual awakening is an individual life path. Some will have their spiritual awakening in this lifetime; some will not.

I had my first spiritual awakening 16 years ago. I've summed up here what my spiritual journey gave me; for some, it's measured as an achievement or success. For me, it's a journey.

• My mind became quieter. I was an overthinker who suffered from sleeping issues almost all my life. My mind was always active.

• I overcame negative thought patterns. Having an active mind, my thoughts were always stuck in the past or worrying about the future.

• I got rid of the emptiness and heaviness feeling in my heart. I’ve released a lot of suppressed emotions, especially anger.

• I’ve healed my severe inherited allergies.

• I’m less bothered and less triggered. If I do get triggered, I get into a default reflection mode instead of reactive mode.

• I had an ego death - literally and figuratively. I realized that my main driver of success in the material world was driven by seeking validation, needing approval because I feel unworthy.

The deeper achievements?

• I discovered my soul’s purpose and my karmic lessons and karmic debt; it’s a continuous journey that keeps unfolding.

• I established a connection with my higher self and guides.

• I experienced awakening after the awakening - I’m here for the human experience.

The list can go on, but for me, these are the major ones.

I don’t consider material things achievements. I consider them part of the human experience.

Material things don’t mean anything if your internal world is in chaos.

Spiritual awakening also means nothing if you’re struggling to put food on the table and keep a roof over your head.

Where are you in your spiritual awakening? Is there an area you're currently struggling?
