For my spirit animal I have decided to draw a turtle and the steps I took to get there were reflecting on the qualities that resonate with me. I did a lot of research exploring the symbolism of a turtle and its many meanings. Another step that helped me decide on the turtle was reflecting on my own personal qualities and how they could relate to different animals. After reading and learning about the turtle I found out that it is a symbol of patience, resilience, wisdom, and its connection to water signifies emotional depth and intuition. I personally feel as though I relate to those traits but the one that really stands out to me is patience which really lead me to choosing the turtle as my spirit animal. This process allowed me to take the time to be self-aware and get a deeper understanding of the qualities I own which was completely new for me.
