Hello, my friends.
After a long break, I am back to writing. For those who don’t know, I went through a dark period in my personal life and am now back into the light. I’m glad to be in contact with you here again and WELCOME to my new subscribers!
Why did I name this blog the Authenticity Project? Authenticity is such a common word but many do not understand the repercussions of feeling authentic and not being able to be authentic in your lives. Our bodies do not like the feeling when we lie, even to ourselves. This is the premise of lie detector tests. Our bodies will tell the story even if our lips don’t dare.
Authenticity is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in alignment. When these components are in action, you will have the opportunity to feel the most peace in your lives irregardless of what is going on. And when you realize the importance of authenticity, this will be your goal and you will start to notice everything and everyone who pulls you into or out of your alignment.
The first steps to achieving this is to know yourself. Your core values, your shadow values, your fears, your dreams, your story, your purpose and personal challenges need to be recognized and brought to your view. When that happens, that will be the FIRST part of you knowing yourself so you can align every part of you and your life in the process. The SECOND part of the process is self-acceptance.
It is a journey and I will leave you with this one action item you can take…Go to a very private room, lock the door. Put on some very calm, non-verbal music with headphones and grab a room darkening eye mask. Now, turn on a timer and put on 15 minutes.
Sit or lie still and PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BREATHING in and out for this time.
When you get up, you will notice how your body feels. It may be anxious, it may be in fight or flight, or calm, or energized. You may have even cried during this process. Anything you felt is okay and to be accepted. Take mental note of how you felt after that because this is your baseline nervous system right now. Write your findings down somewhere.
This is an exercise in knowing yourself intimately and should be done regularly.
I can’t wait to start sharing more and more with you on the path to peace and your life re-imagined.
All Love,
Leilani
