Break Out of the Blues With Authenticity – Week 3: You Are Great!

Continuing in the Inspire Your Inner Journey program, we are in week 3 of 4 in the Break Out of the Blues With Authenticity segment.

In week 1, we focused on how we hold back our authenticity and the damage that does in our lives, and last week we focused on expressing your authenticity more freely. This week, we want to bring it all together and become ultra aware of just how great we are.

Authenticity is truly beautiful. It is what makes everything that exists in this world possible. If we all had the same skills and greatnesses, we would be very limited in the resources we have available to us. Because you are different than me, you will add to this world in a unique way and I will add to it in a unique way. We can all benefit from the greatness that is inside of each of us.

It’s time to let your greatness shine. Don’t hide behind your masks, covering up who you really are. The world needs your uniqueness. Begin to let it shine today by pulling out your journal and creating a list of all the things that make you great. What are you great at? What unique talents do you have? What have others complimented you on? What do you secretly wish you could share with the world?

If you still need a journal to complete these activities in, check these out: www.enchantgifts.com. “Works of art created with the intention of not only uplifting and inspiring you, but also providing you with a way to use these products to transform your life.”

Break Out of the Blues With Authenticity - Week 1: Be Authentic

This month in the Inspire Your Inner Journey program, we are focusing on authenticity. Being authentic is one of the best things we can do to enhance our lives, our careers, our relationships, and really anything you can think of. That is because when you are not being authentic, you are holding back who you really are, and that only creates problems.

By not being fully authentic in each aspect of your life, resentments are created as you secretly wish you could just “be yourself.” In addition, life will feel more difficult and uninspiring because you will not be expressing your real talents and you will therefore be trying to do something or be someone instead of letting your real self flow easily. When you hold yourself back in life by either doing what you think others expect of you or by doing something and being someone different than you want to be because you don’t think it is possible to do or be what you really want to be, it is like you are taking aside a little child and telling them over and over again that they need to be someone different than they are. It’s damaging and demeaning and only leads to heartache and depression.

In your journal today, jot down the ways that you hold back your authenticity. In what ways are you not being yourself in how you dress, eat, speak? In what ways are you stifling yourself in your career, in your relationships, in the place you live in? Keep going. How are you not being you?
