Are we as individuals being and expressing our true selves? How do we keep it real and what blocks us from doing so?

I believe that authenticity is absolutely necessary for a fulfilled existence!
Here’s a few quick points (all of which I could easily expand on but this is just a reference point to start the conversation):

What is authenticity made up of?

• Safety
• Self worth
• Courage
• Ability to accept and tolerate rejection

What blocks authenticity?

• Trauma/danger
• Lack of sense of self
• Messages – cultural and familial
• Fear of rejection/need for acceptance

Think about your authentic self – when, where and with whom do you feel most comfortable being yourself? What situations or people dampen your ability to be your true, full self?
