Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:

Sometimes I feel like a stranger in my own life. What makes me feel like that?

—Stranger in a Familiar Land (Canada)

DEAR STRANGER:

Feeling like a stranger in your own life can actually be a very positive sign of your own inner growth. When you change, sometimes familiar situations or groups or environments may feel strange because you’re different than the old you that felt comfortable (or sometimes unaware) in those old environs.

Celebrate this feeling of strangeness and use this as an opportunity to view your life from a different perspective and take the opportunity to change anything you’ve outgrown.

Happy growing!
