The Mountain Is You

The Mountain Is You is a self-discovery book that aims to help its readers tap into their own power and discover their potential by overcoming trauma, life’s challenges, and working on their emotional damages, all through accepting change, envisioning a prosperous future, and stopping the self-sabotage.

Our subconscious is responsible for pretty much everything we do on a daily basis. This includes big decisions too. Unfortunately, it is responsible for our self-sabotage too, and there’s only one thing we can do about it: identifying our core commitments. These are the things that our heart desires and looks for in every action we do. Find out what they are by looking at the things you struggle the most with and the things that drive you the most.

When you find the root cause for your actions, you’ll discover why you sometimes end up ruining things for yourself. Let me exemplify this for you!

In situations when we find ourselves unhappy with our lives, a change could be the catalyst for a significant jump forward. Still, we fear it, as if it’s something negative, and postpone it until it feels more uncomfortable to live in the status quo than changing it. Once we realize our nature, it gets easier to change our lives for the better. Seeking comfort is what ensures our survival, but sometimes it hinders our growth. As long as you have your basic needs fulfilled, but are unhappy with your life, change is what you need. Prepare for it by acknowledging what makes you unhappy and be prepared to feel uncomfortable, frustrated, and stressed at first. Keep in mind that everything you’ll lose was built for the person you no longer are. Don’t get attached to your old life, but keep an…
