I thought everyone else was “asleep”

🍀

Have you ever felt like a lone wolf?

When I went through my awakening in 2012 I was so excited to share all the things I was learning

I went from drinking, smoking and feeling stuck reacting to life

To feeling expansive, connected to my spiritual self, seeing the connections between my beliefs, thoughts and outer reality

All from meditating for 10 mins a day and observing my thoughts rather than trying to control them

I felt connected to my soul for the first time in my life

And it was liberating!

My whole energy shifted

I started to eat differently, I was more present, and I now liked to “ground myself in grass” on my lunch breaks working at Nordstrom in women shoes

I stopped drinking, smoking and having bad habits

And as a result…

People thought something was wrong with me

Some of my family thought I went nuts, friends at work didn’t know what to think and close friends no longer had a drinking buddy who could resonate in the same way

I thought maybe if I shared all this with them… they would understand and then learn about it and want to come WITH me on this spiritual path

I was surprised to find out that they did NOT share my same passion

In fact it was met with resistance and the more I tried to get them on board, the more they resisted

From this experience I started to develop a belief…

Maybe there aren’t people out there like me?

Maybe I am all alone on this journey?

Do I really need anyone else?

And because people didn’t understand me, I concluded that they were “low vibe” and “asleep” in the matrix

This created a block from me connecting with anyone

And for years I felt alone, confused and judged by others

Then in 2017 I started to make daily videos on youtube

I committed to my passion and within 6 months I quit my 9-5 job and went full time

At that point I started to reach out to other people in my niche because I wanted to connect

I had to be vulnerable and put myself out there

And as a result I met my best friend Victor!

We’ve been best friends for almost 10 years now!

Since then I have met more and more of my soul tribe

And here are a couple tips in case you can relate…

1️⃣Follow your passion and express the real you

Instead of trying to get your friends and family on board, express the real you with no attachment to the outcome. By being the real you, you put out a frequency that attracts the people that resonate. They can’t find you if you aren’t putting out the frequency

2️⃣Let go of the belief that there is no one like you

I had to see others in a compassionate way even if they didn’t understand me and open up to believing that in the right timing I would meet people I resonated with. Funny enough the more connected to myself I felt, the more they came into my life. There are a TON of people like you! I run live events with 100’s of people in a room who become soul fam in 3 days. It rewires peoples beliefs just being there

3️⃣Embrace that you may have come to lead the way by being one of the first in your family to wake up

You came here to be BOLD and to pave the way for others by your example. Your presence, energy and vibe inspires others by you simply being you. You don’t need to get people to believe anything. You just need to be you, follow your passion and express yourself

Finally let GO of the identity of the “lone wolf”

You are only the lone wolf if you believe you are

And that belief is NOT true

It was a safety mechanism to protect you from the rejection of others not getting you

People who experienced relational trauma as kids may gravitate to that identity because it feels safer than the risk of putting yourself out there

For me I am realizing I can have more support and connection in my own life

For live events I feel inspired to have my friends support more and other coaches who I work with in my Shift Academy

I feel inspired to bring more people together and realize I don’t have to do it alone

And it’s more FUN to do with a tribe :)

Let me know in the comments below👇

Have you ever felt like a lone wolf?

How can you release the blocks so that you are open to connection and meeting new people?

I look forward to seeing your responses!

Anyways, talk to you soon and remember…

you are NOT a lone wolf you were an “alone wolf” who is about to reconnect with your soul tribe

Talk to you soon,

Much love

Aaron (not a lone wolf no more) Doughty

p.s I’ve been feeling inspired to write and post more in the group. Are there any themes you are experiencing in your life right now? I would love to hear so I can write on things that interest you too!
