A symbol or visual marker can serve as an inspirational reminder. So see, you can draw strength from it. And it can remind you of your value. Or, you can use an inspiring symbol to lift your spirits. If that's not enough, it can help reinforce your mindset, settle your emotions, and build your resolve.
Relating to Your Inspirational Symbol
Just remember that whatever your visual source of inspiration, you must relate to it. For me, I am always seeking to learn and evolve, especially when times are tough. And, I have to go through a ton of shit at times just so that my beauty can shine. But more importantly, just like the butterfly, I am fragile. So, see how I connect? I hope you are starting to get the idea.

You'll Be Surprised By This Hidden Encouragement
One of the best things I did when trying to decide my inspirational symbol was to conduct research. The background or meaning behind my emotional sign makes it that much more powerful. For instance, in addition to transformation, the butterfly also reminds me to trust my gut. Often I'm sensitive to my environment, but at times, I will push away warning signs of potential trouble.
And, guess what? I learned that butterflies have the same sensitivity and that scientists study butterflies' behavioral patterns to gauge our environmental changes. Who knew?

The subtle, inspiring messages the butterfly feeds me go deep, and this is extremely powerful. For instance, did you know that the beautiful, fragile butterfly is also adaptable to its environment?
