Being "authentic" or "authenticity" can be frequently used (and sometimes even over-used) buzz words in our world currently. But I read something this week that made me totally re-think what authenticity actually means, which isn't just about trying to share unfiltered pictures or messy, imperfect moments of our lives. This definition goes deeper into self-acceptance and the way we act maybe even more importantly in our private lives and even the thought processes in our own minds and what it really takes to be able to sleep well at the end of the day knowing you stayed true to the person you are, completely and authentically.Time Stamps:[00:49] - What does it mean to be authentic?[05:57] - Corrine and Neil talk about letting go of expectations placed on yourself by you or others.[11:34] - How do you define the core of who you are?[15:16] - Feel all your feelings instead of trying to shove them away.[20:25] - Are you being honest with yourself?[24:32] - We’re all figuring life out.Supporting Resources:"Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are" Book by Brene' BrownSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
