I finished the Smart ( Skills, Acumen, Experience) worksheets. It brought back to the surface the struggle to reconnect to my authentic self that I have been distracting myself from for 20 plus years. Over those 20 years, I have tried to reconnect in several different ways but never fully committed. It feels like my early retirement plan is a road that will get me there. However, am I too tethered to my current paradigm to even allow it to happen ?
