a simple focus for living your authentic life
|
I had a simple idea last night. To live your authentic life, you just need to be your authentic Self. While it is exciting to think about a more authentic life and all of the good that will come with it, there is no way of knowing if the details of the authentic life you envision are what you will actually experience. There’s a chance that by fixating your attention on the details of the life you are pursuing, you may miss paths to a life more true to your authentic Self. But if you focus on living true to your Self and being the most authentic version of it each day, your authentic life will unfold as it should. This doesn’t mean you don’t think about what your future Self might be like—who you would like to become, because I do believe in the law of attraction and manifestation, but the majority of your effort should be on going inward and connecting with your Self, finding the confidence to bring that version out, and continuing to be true to your authentic Self. This sounds easy, but I’ve found that it’s not. Most people might only know a fraction of their authentic Self and struggle with finding the confidence to share even that fraction with the world. The work that needs to be done in order to walk the path of your authentic life begins with truly understanding who you are and meeting your authentic Self. 🎧 Listen to today's Note on the LifeDesign+ podcast. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

I hope you had a great weekend! Last week's Note had a lot of content to catch you up on; this week's it's just the Notes and an episode of AlignedLife. There will be another great episode of AlignedLife this week, I'm working on an AlignedLife blog post, and I MIGHT have the video from my Baltimore trip complete as well. This weekend, I started a new approach to how we handle our family finances--I'm not only trying to make sure we allocate our resources as a family in alignment with our...
Living your Authentic Life and being true to your Self does not mean you won’t choose to do things that aren’t necessarily aligned. For example, your spouse may be into an activity that you aren’t–one that you would never choose to do on your own. However, because you are a supportive spouse and enjoy spending time with her, you choose to attend the activity. Doing something you don’t like doesn’t mean you’re being inauthentic. In fact, doing something you don’t like for your spouse is being...
This morning, lying in shivasana at the end of yoga, I thought about all I had to be thankful for–my health, my family, the life experience I’ve had to this point, and everything that is going to happen in the next year. Once I finished my gratitude list, I returned to reflecting on the life I’ve experienced up until now and felt even more gratitude for being able to arrive at my Authentic Self, manifest the life that I currently have, and for what I see coming in the future–all of which has...
