People know when you are authentic and when you are not.
You could say that we have three aspects of ourselves. They are:
- Who we pretend we are,
- who we worry we are and,
- who we really are.
Authenticity is being true to who you really are.
Authenticity isn’t something you try to be – it’s something you allow yourself to share with others. Being authentic is about standing on the foundation of your uniqueness, your originality. It’s a sign you are showing up as who you really are, as your authentic self, in its truest sense.
Authenticity is when someone is genuine with themselves and with others.
The quality of being authentic includes the following attributes; being trustworthy, genuine, credible, dependable, and empowering. If you show up with these qualities people will recognize you as being authentic, and you will feel it too.
Here’s my tip. It’s not just what you do it’s How You Be. Practice showing up as who you really are this month. Notice what you and others experience. Until next time go make that happen.
