Mindfulness Journey

Behind the Scenes

July 28, 2025 By Terry Swejkoski Leave a Comment

Behind the Scenes of Consciously Live What You Feel: A Deeply Personal Journey

Behind every profound book lies an equally profound story. Consciously Live What You Feel emerges not just from a place of knowledge but from a life intensely lived, challenged, and transformed. My mission to guide others toward greater mindfulness and emotional awareness was born out of my own experiences, struggles, and triumphs. This behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creation of the book reveals my heart, soul, and inspiration that shaped its pages.

The Seed of Inspiration

Great works often arise from a singular, life-shaping realization, and for me, that realization was the overlooked power of feeling. I recognized early on in my personal growth that our modern world urges us to suppress, avoid, or rush through emotions—especially the difficult ones. Instead of pausing to experience and understand these feelings, many of us live in patterns of frustration, disconnection, or even exhaustion.

The idea for Consciously Live What You Feel developed organically from my deep commitment to personal reflection. I wanted to bridge the gap between understanding emotions on a theoretical level and living consciously within one’s emotional realities. Through my life practice of mindfulness and extensive study, I realized that emotional awareness is not just about gaining insight—it’s an active, practical, and compassionate process.

My own life stood as proof of this truth. I experienced firsthand how leaning into emotions, rather than escaping them, could foster personal growth, resilience, and fulfillment. Sharing these revelations became a calling—and Consciously Live What You Feel was my answer.

Writing as a Journey of Discovery

From the outset, I knew this book couldn’t merely scratch the surface. Instead, I envisioned it as an immersive guide, walking readers step-by-step through the practices that had transformed my own life. However, to achieve this, the writing process itself required the same kind of mindfulness and presence that the book promotes.

A Deliberate and Reflective Process

Writing Consciously Live What You Feel was not an endeavor to “lecture” readers—it was an act of invitation. Every word was chosen with care, not only to explain concepts clearly but also to create space for readers to feel seen and supported on their journeys. I spent countless hours reflecting on how each chapter could guide readers gently yet effectively toward more profound self-awareness.

Pauses became an integral part of my writing process. When phrases or ideas didn’t feel right, I paused and relied on my mindful practices—stepping back, meditating, journaling, and patiently letting clarity emerge. Trusting this process of intuition and reflection ensured that the book spoke not only from the intellect but primarily from the heart, guided by the Source Energy.

Challenges Along the Way

Anyone who has created something deeply personally transitional knows that the process is rarely without its hurdles. For me, the most significant challenge was striking a balance between vulnerability and authority. To write authentically and meaningfully about mindfulness and emotional awareness, I needed to draw on some of my own harrowing experiences.

Choosing to share personal insights wasn’t about presenting myself as an expert without flaws—but as someone who had walked the road of mindfulness and discovered its power through trial and error. At times, revisiting certain emotions or struggles felt raw, even overwhelming. However, I leaned into these moments, practicing the very lessons I sought to teach.

A second challenge was ensuring accessibility. Deep concepts like emotional awareness and mindful living could easily feel abstract or intimidating. To address this, I continuously asked myself two questions during the writing process:

  • How can I make this idea actionable?
  • Will this resonate with and empower someone at any stage of their self-discovery?

The result is a book brimming with relatable anecdotes, simple mindfulness techniques, and practical wisdom that meets readers where they are—whether they’re exploring mindfulness for the first time or have already immersed themselves in years of practice.

The Heart of the Book’s Message

Above all, I wanted Consciously Live What You Feel to serve as a guide for transformation. The heart of my message lies in the belief that emotions are not impediments to be avoided or suppressed; they are the keys to living authentically. By learning to acknowledge, accept, and explore our feelings, we gain clarity, freedom, and direction in life.

Practicality was another major priority. The book is structured with actionable steps that readers can implement in their lives immediately. Exercises such as mindful breathwork, journaling prompts, and emotional reflection practices are woven seamlessly throughout the chapters, providing readers with tools to experience mindfulness firsthand rather than simply reading about it.

It’s this combination of depth and accessibility that makes Consciously Live What You Feel so impactful. By blending personal stories, actionable guidance, and compassionate truth, I aimed to create something that resonates with readers on multiple levels—not only intellectually, but also spiritually and emotionally.

Reflecting on the Outcome

Every author hopes for their work to make an impact, and the response to Consciously Live What You Feel has been humbling and heartwarming for me. Readers consistently share how its teachings led them to meaningful breakthroughs. Whether it’s the ability to face difficult emotions honestly, the practice of bringing mindfulness into family relationships, or the discovery of inner peace for the first time, the feedback speaks volumes about the book’s resonance.

What has been especially rewarding is hearing how the book sparks dialogue—conversations within book clubs, between partners, or among friends. The themes of the book aren’t ones to be processed alone; they naturally invite connection, reflection, and shared growth.

An Invitation for You

The story of Consciously Live What You Feel is one of careful creation, heartfelt authenticity, and a commitment to sharing the beauty of mindfulness with the world. But at its core, the book’s story remains incomplete—because it’s not just my story; it’s meant to become yours too.

Every reader who picks up this book begins their chapter, exploring the practices, insights, and courageous choice to engage with life consciously. You are invited to take this step and participate in the larger conversation about mindful living and emotional awareness, discovering the transformation that lies within you.

Author’s Inspiring Journey – Terrance (Terry) Swejkoski

July 23, 2025 By Terry Swejkoski Leave a Comment

 

The Inspiring Journey of Terrance (Terry) Swejkoski, Author of Consciously Live What You Feel

Every life has a unique rhythm, an unfolding story shaped by experiences, challenges, and personal growth. For me, this rhythm has harmonized into a powerful message of mindfulness and emotional awareness—a message I share with the world through my book, Consciously Live What You Feel. The book is more than just words on a page; it is a reflection of my deeply personal and transformative life journey.

A Foundation Built on Self-Discovery and Growth

My early experiences proved to be rich soil for my budding passion for mindfulness and emotional well-being. Raised with values of compassion and reflection, my curiosity about the human mind and emotions ignited at a young age. However, like many of us, I found myself navigating life’s ups and downs, questioning my purpose and searching for deeper meaning.

During my formative years, I was drawn to the practices of introspection, meditation, and exploring the complex layers of emotions. It was in these reflective moments that I began to understand the profound connection between awareness and healing. Over time, these practices became pillars of my philosophy and later fueled my professional insights.

Turning Challenges into Wisdom

Life’s challenges often serve as catalysts for personal growth, and my story is no exception. I faced my share of hardships—periods of loss, uncertainty, and emotional turbulence that many readers may find deeply relatable. However, rather than backing away from these struggles, I chose to sit with them, to feel them fully, and to learn from what they were trying to teach me.

Through this process, I discovered that emotions, even the most uncomfortable ones, are not obstacles to avoid but profound teachers to welcome. By leaning into these experiences with openness and mindfulness, I unearthed valuable insights about resilience, connection, and the beauty of authenticity. It’s these personal revelations that now form the core of my writing and teaching.

Building Expertise in Mindfulness and Emotional Well-Being

My dedication to understanding the human experience did not stop with introspection. Over the years, I pursued an extensive study of mindfulness, emotional awareness, and transformational practices. By melding formal education with lived experience and spiritual understanding, I found a way to translate abstract concepts into actionable guidance for others.

What sets me apart is my ability to weave compassion and spiritual knowledge into my expertise. My work resonates not only because of the depth of my knowledge but because of my unwavering commitment to meet others where they are—without judgment, without pretension. This empathy shines through every page of Consciously Live What You Feel, guiding readers gently but firmly toward their awakening.

From Inspiration to Creation

The decision to write Consciously Live What You Feel came during a period of quiet reflection for me. Over years of personal growth and professional work, I had amassed a collection of practices, stories, and insights that begged to be shared. I wanted to create something that could act as a bridge between the complexities of emotion and the simplicity of mindful living.

I envisioned the book as a sanctuary for those seeking clarity amidst life’s chaos. Whether someone is new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, Consciously Live What You Feel serves as both a guide and a companion, offering gentle nudges toward deeper connection with the self.

The writing process itself was an exercise in mindfulness. Rather than rushing, I allowed the words to flow naturally, letting intuition shape the book’s structure. Each chapter reflects my profound respect for the human spirit, my nuanced understanding of life, and my commitment to empowering readers in their journeys.

The Message at the Core of My Work

At the heart of my work is the belief that emotional awareness is the foundation of a meaningful life. For me, true mindfulness is not about silencing emotions or striving for perfection—it’s about honoring what we feel, even when it’s uncomfortable. This philosophy challenges the notion that vulnerability is weakness; instead, it reveals that vulnerability is the foundation for authenticity and connection.

I also stress the importance of creating space for yourself in the whirlwind of daily life. I understand the struggles of a fast-paced lifestyle firsthand and offer practical, accessible practices that anyone can incorporate into their daily life. These tools are not burdensome; they are liberating.

How My Journey Shapes the Book’s Message
