You chose this book for a reason. Maybe deep down, you sense that something essential is missing? Like you're just going through the motions in life? Like there's a voice inside saying "Is this it?" or "There has to be more than this."
Well then, you picked the right book! Nicole LePera's book, How to Meet Your Self, is THE workbook you need to break free from those feelings of being stuck on autopilot. LePera knows what it's like to feel burned out and disconnected from her true self. As a therapist, she found herself exhausted, drifting mindlessly through each week. It took a health crisis to wake her up and prioritize her own needs. Through that journey, she developed powerful practices to reconnect with her authentic self.
In this book, LePera shares those very practices with you. She doesn't just talk about self-discovery - she takes you by hand and walks you through a transformational journey to awaken your most authentic existence. The path won't be easy and she doesn't even sugar-coat that. You'll face the hurt, the skepticism, the deep questioning. But you'll also experience revelations, awakenings, and self-compassion in a way you never have before.
Let’s start this journey, shall we?

Living in-authentically just isn't sustainable. Agreed?
Unmask Your Habit Self And Find The True You
Close your eyes for a moment. Breathe deeply. Now imagine your perfect day - the life you'd be living if you became the absolute best version of yourself. That’s the person you'll become by breaking free from habits that currently keep you stuck on autopilot. And don’t deny that; you ARE on auto-pilot. Be honest - how much of your daily life happens by rote habit rather than active choice? Do you often snap at people when you are overworked,...
Becoming Conscious of Your Unconscious Patterns

In fact, get ready to feel a little shocked, maybe even betrayed, as you realize just how...
Developing Body Consciousness
Thanks to your habit self, you've been living disconnected from your physical self for too long. Your tired body has probably been trying to constantly communicate its needs to you through signals like anxiety, stress, hunger pangs, fatigue, muscle tension, and changes in breathing – all signs of a malfunctioning nervous system. Perhaps you’ve even become numb to most of these sensations. All signs of a "trauma body." For many of us, unhealed trauma and chronic stress have caused our...
Control Your Emotional Self
Alright, we've come a long way on this journey of self-discovery! Now we have another lesson for you - taking control of those overpowering emotions that so often ruin your best intentions.

See, your emotions are how your mind and body interact with the world around you. They're like a...
