Let’s talk about…Being AUTHENTIC 💜
What does it really mean?
How often have you heard the advice “Just relax and be yourself!”
But to be ourselves we first have to know who we are – who we REALLY are.
For years I didn’t know who I was.
I tried to find myself in alcohol, travel, other people and jobs that weren’t in alignment with my soul.
I tried to twist myself like a pretzel and mould myself into a version of me that other people would like, that society would approve of, that I’d be validated for.
Because I had a core belief that I wasn’t enough and if the “real me” was exposed then everyone would see how inadequate and rubbish I was. I wondered, who would ever love the “real me”?
The key was learning to love myself first – my authentic, true, beautiful self.
I didn’t just drop all the masks and pretences straight away.
Uncovering and returning to my true self is an ongoing process and a continual course correction but I’m much more aware now when I’m making a decision that’s out of alignment with who I am.
I made a collage the other night. In the middle I wrote “The real me” and around that I pasted pictures from magazines depicting the things I like and which represent different aspects of me.
So who am I?
Essentially I love nature, the earth, the ocean, cats and Italian food.
I’m a healer, musician, artist and psychic and I care deeply about the planet and others.
I have a hippie/Bohemian taste in clothes and I love wearing red lipstick on a night out.
I put this up on my bedroom wall to serve as a reminder of who I really am when I’m in alignment and being authentic.
Remember…
