There comes a moment in every life—a whisper, an undeniable pull—where we realize we’ve been living someone else’s story. Boy, do I know that I’ve lived my life for a long time through someone else’s expectations. We could be wearing the masks of success, feeling like you have to conform, or protecting yourself, but deep inside, there’s a longing for something real, something true, something more. That moment is the call to awaken to your authentic self.
To be my authentic self I’ve had to embrace who I truly am—my values, passions, quirks, and all—and expressing that without fear of judgment and the hard part in my opinion. It’s about aligning actions and words with my inner beliefs and being comfortable in my own skin. Something a lot of us have trouble doing. Staying true to yourself brings a sense of fulfillment. What do they say, “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” Taking small steps, like sharing my honest opinions or pursuing what genuinely excites me, will hopefully lead to a more authentic life. Journaling my journey has been extremely helpful and fulfilling. I’m confronting fears, letting go of habits that no longer serve me, and making choices that align with what I feel is my inner purpose. Throughout my life I haven’t known what my inner purpose was. Just following what others thought was right and not speaking up. But I’m learning, and through this process, I’m creating greater self-awareness, confidence, and fulfillment, showing up in the world more authentically and meaningful. Daily journaling has become a habit, and I love it. Below is a link to some excellent journals I found on Amazon. I can suggest the Law of Attraction planner; I am on my second one and I love it. 😊https://amzn.to/3R2JZt7
