Deep dives
Becoming Less Nice and More You for a Bold, Authentic Life
Becoming less nice and more you is about breaking free from the confinement of excessive niceness and social anxiety. It means dropping the unrealistic expectations of never upsetting anyone and constantly striving to please others. The goal is to develop a skillful and authentic communication style where you can smoothly say no, disagree, and express your true thoughts and feelings without causing harm. It's not about becoming rude or insensitive, but about valuing your own wants and needs while respecting others. This shift towards authenticity brings greater fulfillment, better relationships, and a sense of freedom and purpose in life.
The Importance of Defining Your Own Good Person
Being a 'good person' is often defined by an impossible standard set by ourselves and others. It includes never upsetting anyone, never experiencing anger, and never hurting anyone's feelings. This perfectionistic view leads to constant guilt, pressure to do more, and an endless pursuit of validation. The key is to challenge this definition and question how we've come to define it. By recognizing the absurdity of these standards, we can free ourselves from the need to constantly prove our worth and redefine what being a good person means to us, on our own terms.
The Path to Authenticity and Living the Best Year of Your Life
Living authentically means being fully, freely, and unapologetically yourself. It's about dropping the role of excessive niceness and people-pleasing, and embracing who you truly are. Authenticity is not a fixed state but an evolving path where you continuously align with your true desires and values. This path blurs the line between you and the universe, allowing you to tap into higher levels of purpose and inspired action. By committing to becoming the most authentic version of yourself, you can engineer the best year of your life and experience a deep sense of fulfillment, confidence, and meaning.
