Are You Free To Be Authentic?

Are you authentic?  What does that even mean?  That’s a word that’s thrown around a lot, but HOW do you do it?  I think it means being free to be yourself.  Do you say what you mean and mean what you say?  Do you live in your power and are your deepest needs met?

If you weren’t raised by authentic minded people, then you will have to learn that lesson for yourself.  How many times have we all heard that you have to love yourself?  Okay, but HOW do you do that?!

First let’s explore what loving yourself and your life might look like.  You can’t create when you don’t know what you want.  What would your life look like if you had your deepest needs met?  How would you feel?  What’s important to you?  If you don’t know, it’s time for some self discovery.  I’d bet though, that you DO know more than you think!

Do you spend time doing things you love?  …with people who make you feel loved and wanted?  Are you able to list things about yourself that you like?  Clarity will help you clean up and shift what might be in your way.  Then, you can “program in” the energy of how you want to feel.  It’s amazing how the energy of the universe will bring your desires to you!

My own inner exploration was really FORCED upon me when my family fell apart after the deaths of my loved ones.  I could continue with my old limiting beliefs and patterns, but did they bring me to a place of sustained joy?  No, so it was time to revisit things that I had learned and go deeper.

People sometimes expect coaches to have their life together.  However, EVERY PERSON on the planet is on a journey of exploration.  I have things I’m working on and I’m still growing.  I do have clarity of what I like, and who I like to be around.  I also have a different perspective on old family patterns that never really served me or worked for me.

I’ve learned so much about energy, and my perception of mistakes or failures is different.  Those experiences are clarifiers and teachers.  They are opportunities to get more focused on your important criteria and what needs to be changed.

There are energy patterns in success and your version may need to be different from what you’ve learned.  What works for them might not work for you but you get to decide–yes or no.  You get to explore what others have done and find out if it “feels” right to you.  If something doesn’t work out, it’s because it’s not supposed to OR there is a different direction to take at this time.  If you don’t like what life is presenting or how it’s feeling, then start asking questions and educating yourself.  There is a great outcome just waiting for you.

My Design Your Life Now free download helps to provoke feelings, by getting in touch with your dreams.  A bank account full of paper money is not really the underlying desire.  It’s about how that outcome will make you FEEL.  Peaceful?  Safe?  Secure?  Proud? Comfortable?

Before I did any coaching, I was always a pep talker with a different perspective.  I’ve been in that role on some level throughout my life.  Did I ever see myself that way?  No.  Did I ever expect to be a coach?  No, but I did love it when I would watch motivational speakers stir others.  They would touch something inside of people to get them excited.  I didn’t know it at the time, but that was most often a temporary level of inspiration that didn’t last after the initial excitement was gone.

So why did the blast of initial excitement leave when the talk was over?  Through watching my clients and myself in my own growth spurts there really IS a mind, body and spirit connection.  We hear about that, but how do we LIVE that way to keep life fun and exciting?

For me, the technique of tapping connects those elements.  It’s a process of learning about yourself as you release unwanted energetic patterns and program in what is desired.

Early childhood modeling, along with emotional episodes and patterns put us into automatic reactions without much consideration for how we want to feel or experience life.  No one can teach you what that looks like for you since you need to explore those options for yourself.  HOWEVER, there are processes including energy switch ups that will bring clarity and desires right to you.

How can you start?  You’ve got to begin by exploring and discovering.  Even before you start tapping, you can begin by getting clear.  My Design Your Life Now download will help.  You already know what you want, what you need, and what brings you joy but you might not have put the pieces all together.

Try the download.  The interesting thing about this exploration is that it will change over time.  As you expand, your desired criteria will expand.  You can use it for every part of your life. The idea is to start.

Here’s to your True Authentic Power!
