Becoming Me

Enlarging Our Capacity for Authenticity

EPISODE 42   

Many of us long to be more authentic than we are able to be. We feel that our ability to be authentic is constrained by a lack of acceptance from other people. But what if we can increase our internal capacity to be authentic regardless of extrinsic circumstances?

In this episode I talk about how the journey into wholeness enlarges our capacity to be our true selves even when we experience rejection from others.

REFLECTION PROMPT
Listen.
- As you listened to my sharing in this episode, what hit you? You know, what was one thing that maybe resonated the most with you? 

Ponder.
- When was the last time or is there an incident that you can recall where you showed up as yourself and then felt that you were rejected?
- How did you feel?

Act.
- Revisit that memory that you called up for Ponder – that that incident where you experienced showing up as yourself and felt rejected. 
- Exercise: 
• Spend some time with yourself back in that moment when you were rejected.
• Write a note or write a letter to yourself.
• Stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eyes and tell yourself there's nothing wrong with you. 

 For full details of this reflection prompt, please see transcript.
