Hello!
My name is Ana Sofia Barros and I’m the founder of the Creative Living Path, a place to inspire you to get in touch with your own creativity. Here I’m going to share my passion for all things self-development and my findings on life’s mysteries.
After a long period of inner and outer research – through therapy, astrology, books, yoga, movement, meditation, silence, journaling, and traveling, I decided it was time for me to start sharing my favorite self-discovery tools with all those open-to-dive deep within themselves.
Those tools helped me in my own journey. Not a long time ago, I was living a “perfect life”: had a well-paying job at a multinational company, I was married, lived in a nice house, and in the eyes of my family and society, I was successful. But deep inside, I didn’t feel the same way. I wasn’t happy and I judged myself for not having any rational reason to feel like that.
I recall asking myself if life was supposed to be that way: work, pay the bills, and escape from routine on holidays. I didn’t want to live a life that I had to escape from.
But I also didn’t see any way out of it. To be honest, I did know that there was a way out, but the cost of it was too high, I’d have to let too many people down.
So, I wanted to fix myself, to fit in what was expected of me – stay exactly where I was and be grateful for the life I had. That’s when I started my self-development journey and the search for my own path.
My objective with this blog is not to inspire you to quit everything and start your life from scratch. Please don’t! 😊 That’s just my story. But I’m here to remind you that you can create your own authentic life, based on your who you truly are. You don’t need to fit in anywhere, you just need to get to know yourself better, so you can make decisions you’ll be proud of. And live a life that truly makes sense to you.
In this portal, you’ll find articles about self-development and creativity, as well as book reviews, travel tips, video blogs, and online programs, where learning and building community are possible.
Let’s make this life worth living and have a LOT of fun together!
I hope you feel at home.
Kind regards,
Sofia.
