The Importance of Authenticity
Being able to express our authentic selves without feeling self-conscious is crucial for our mental well-being. When we are in situations where we can fully express our emotions and thoughts without holding back, we feel liberated and energized. It is important to surround ourselves with people and engage in activities that allow us to be ourselves freely and completely.
Embracing Authenticity in Everyday Life
To be less inhibited in everyday life, we should identify activities that help us let loose and the people we feel most comfortable around. By savoring the experiences where we feel most authentic and being aware of the sensations in our body, we can encourage our authentic selves to show up more often. Being authentic gives us the courage and permission to speak and act authentically in all areas of our lives.
It's easy to get caught up in what others think of us. But the thing is, we ultimately can't control people's thoughts! Today, Sam explores ways to be less inhibited.
