Hello Steemit!

Hello Steemit community! My name is Kim Amourette and I am a new member here. I would like to share with you some of my personal background and what I am passionate about in life.

My story starts around the year 2007, about two years after I graduated high-school.
Ever since getting out of high-school and trying to find a direction in life in terms of figuring out which higher education and professional path to pursue I had this experience of lostness and confusion, not only about "what to do with my life" but consequently also about "who I am" and "why I am". All throughout childhood and highschool my 'purpose' had been to follow along with the path which society seemed to be laying out for me, but then once the question was asked of "what do YOU want to do?", I was faced with an existential doubt about "Who I am" in the first place.

In a way I felt as though I had stepped into a black hole of doubt, insecurity, lostness and confusion, fueled by guilt about not just being able to make a decision and choose a life-path for myself like everybody else. The only thing I knew to do at the time in order to try and find some "meaning" to my life, was to search for answers. And the thing is, answers are out there. I mean there are so many "answers" that you end up spiraling even more into an infinite sense of lostness as you are looking for yourself. Every psychologist, guru, channeler, new-ager or conspiracy theorist has some "answer" about "who you are". You are a star child, a warrior of light, a highly sensitive person, destined to transcend to some higher dimension, all of which obviously can make you feel very special about yourself but at the end of the day you sense deep down that this is not "it".

I am sure there are many people out there who do end up settling for some of these answers and decide for themselves that this is "it", but just not me. Fortunately that voice in the back of my head going "come on, who are you kidding" felt more real than me trying to convince myself that I was a warrior of light destined to activate a vibrational frequency which would transcend me into a higher plane of existence. Unfortunately however, this then did leave me still feeling lost and confused.

It was around this time that I stumbled upon this video on YouTube which challenged, nay, dared the viewer to expose themselves. Not as in getting naked in public, but by making and uploading a vlog wherein you challenge yourself to be honest about who you are, to be real. That is exactly what I did and I found this one simple gesture and challenge so refreshing that I wanted to find out more. Refreshing because, here was someone not trying to tell you who you are and not trying to convince you of anything, rather they were inviting you to express and share who you are. Looking at this world and society, at least to my experience, it was usually the other way around. Here is the link to the video I uploaded back then if you are curious:

(it was the first video I uploaded to my channel plus I felt very awkward at the time, so I did in fact experience it as an 'exposing' of myself)

I found out that behind this video was a group of people that I could, for the first time in my life perhaps, relate with. They had been on the same journey of finding out who they are and had realized that developing understanding of your Self is based on a few simple principles: Honesty with yourself, empowering yourself through forgiveness and self-responsibility, and having support from others walking the same process and journey as yourself.

This was the year 2008 and since that time, through applying those simple principles consistently, I have given myself the gift of not just knowing and seeing who I am but most of all understanding who, how and why I WAS. How and why it was that I felt lost in the first place. How my mind had developed certain personalities, thinking patterns and experiences which had come to define how I saw myself and the world around me.

With the insight and understanding that I developed of my own mind as well as the skill and ability to change myself for the better, I realized I had the potential to assists and support those that are like me in the same ways I had supported myself. In collaboration with an amazing lady called Andrea Rossouw, we combined both our backgrounds in Applied Kinesiology and muscle testing (topics which I will be writing about in posts to come) with our understanding of the mind and the individual's potential for self-change to structure a platform of support which we would later on give the name "Quantum Change Kinesiology".

Needless to say, having a skill to delve into the deeper regions of the mind of others and my own to provide support in understanding how we ourselves create our own experiences in life and have the ability to change those experiences, has sparked a passion in me to support others in their journey of becoming the best version of themselves equally as I have supported myself over the years.

I hope you enjoyed my story and are interested in more of what I have to share. Thanks for reading and stay tuned!!
