Releasing the Story and Embracing our Authentic Self The Path of Me
-
- Self-Improvement
From birth we are creating a story around who we are, what we need to be for others, and we embody that story throughout our lives. Maybe you were the black sheep, the athlete, the good one, the addict, the dumb or smart one. Family and social messaging reinforces the labels and we take them on as our own.
This is a reminder that we are not our story, not remotely close to what others believe us to be. We have subconsciously taken these labels and acted accordingly, losing our true identity, our own core values, and ultimately ourselves.
LOSE THE STORY
Humanity is being pressed hard to come into their own, and by that I mean stepping into their authentic self. This requires an awareness that the story we have been living and defending and exhausting ourselves with is false. It's a narrative placed on us by our nuclear family, faith, and culture. The reason you may have struggled is because it is so far from who you authentically are, it has been a constant betrayal of your soul to be anything else.
It's time to find the courage to drop all the labels. Everything that has defined you to this point has highlighted your flaws and not "enough" fears. Not thin enough, successful enough, strong enough, compassionate enough. All of it is total b******t. You came in as your beautiful self and it has always been enough. Lose the story and align with what is true for you.
What are your true values? How can you become more embodied in your truth when you show up in the world? Do you have to keep up the facade and is it aligned for you? The Ego would say yes, but your Soul would say NO.
THE PUSH BACK
Expect pushback as you begin to change and grow into your authentic self. I've been called crazy, told I have a mental illness by those who benefited from me playing the "expected role" I was supposed to. Once I stopped bowing and serving there was a lot of gaslighting and hostility, and "concern" over my mental health because I stopped playing the game and stood in my power.
What is your story? How are you aligning with your truth or betraying your truth in your life? Are you walking away from the false narratives and expectations? Are you exhausted, burned out resentful? Bring your energy back to you and stand in your power when people turn on you for being you. They aren't your people.
COME BACK TO YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF
There has been nothing more powerful in my life than claiming myself, living from my heart and remaining in my integrity, always. I know who I am. Know that you are not here to meet other's expectations, despite a lifetime of programming telling you otherwise.
Be aware of the part you have been playing in this Human experience. Find ways to reclaim your authentic self. Treat yourself like a best friend. Make time for yourself, do more of things that light you up. Choose you and over time you will one day wake up and your authentic self will be there. He/She has been waiting in the wings your entire life to come forward!
