Today's Practice: Authentic Self

When you show up as your authentic self, people know it.

When you are real, honest, and transparent, you are powerful.

Often in life we do not speak our truth for fear of loosing or upsetting others. Sometimes we don't even know we're not being authentic. If that's the case, then it's pretty hard to shift it. However, when we do know we're not being authentic, we can shift it. We can shift it by choosing to.

Observe yourself today. Notice when you say something out of habit. Notice when you agree with others just to be agreeable. Notice when you have thoughts that do not align with your words or actions. Observe your feelings. No matter how minute, these feelings are indicators showing you where you are aligned or unaligned. Listen to yourself. And from that place, know when you are being authentic, and when you are not.

You become empowered as you recognize you have the choice to act, think and speak differently, authentically.
