Empowerment on a Higher Ground: Authenticity & Power [Be a Rockstar]
MAIN POINTS:
1. Living an authentic life means living your truth. It means being empowered by who you are rather than what others want you to be.
2. When you live with honesty and integrity, you are true to your core values and beliefs with little to no influence from others.
3. Expert advice lists these five ways to be authentic: 1. Don’t lie, 2. Don’t say what you are thinking impulsively, 3. Trust the feedback your body/gut gives you, 4. Stay in your own truth—and out of other people’s business, 5. Accept the ugly bits of yourself, including the difficult emotions.
4. You can tell if someone is authentic or fake by observing their words and actions. They are usually the ones that not concerned about their “image”, they’re consistent and focus on being their true vulnerable self, admitting when they are wrong.
5. An authentic person is empowered by being themselves. They are grateful for their life and all their experiences, appreciating them as part of who they are, no shame or guilt necessary.
TRY THIS: Take inventory of your life listing in your journal when you feel the most and least authentic. Try and figure out why you feel less authentic in those situations and plan a more authentic path forward.
POST IT NOTE: I will be my most authentic self!
