WAYS TO BE TRUE
TO YOURSELF
We’re afraid of what may happen if we’re ‘found out’
regarding what we really think and believe, which ‘side’
we want to take on a key issue and the life we want to
lead.
Take your time. There is no rush
Become aware of discrepancies between your
actions and your beliefs. If you catch yourself making
statements that you don’t really adhere to, ask
yourself whether you believe the words you speak?
Take everything as an opportunity to learn,
be open about who you are to yourself, don’t
lie to yourself, but face your strengths and
weaknesses equally
If we feel we have to continually hide or alter
who we really are, and suppress what we
believe, it’s a recipe for illness, depression
and failure
WHY IS IT
HARD TO BE
AUTHENTIC?
IT TAKES
The human brain is wired for staying safe
(It takes conscious effort to override what might be an easier
or known path and to choose authenticity over fitting in.)
Living authentically means slowing down
The world we live in is fast-paced, which means we don’t take
the time to slow down to understand our true wants and
needs. Many people’s early working lives can be about
establishing a career and development path. Once on that
path, it can be difficult — and scary — to put the brakes on in
order to ask, “Is this what I really want?” Make a habit of
regularly checking in with yourself on how you’re feeling about
your goals and motivations.
It might feel selfish to live authentically

Finding your passion isn't just
just about Careers and Money.
It's about finding your
authentic self. The one you've
buries beneath other's needs.
-Kristin Hannah
Self-awareness is the first
and most critical step for
embracing authenticity as
your way of life
QUOTE #3
Authenticity is the daily practice
of letting go of who we think we
are supposed to be, and instead
EMBRACING WHO WE ARE
-Brene Brown
LIVING AUTHENTICALLY IS
LIKE ANY LEARNING
PROCESS: IT STARTS WITH
REFLECTION TO PAUSE AND
BECOME SELF-AWARE OF
WHO YOU ARE
