Just being yourself requires a certain level of vulnerability not all of us are willing to show. Vulnerability is often mistaken for weakness, and nobody wants to be perceived as weak. As a result, we hide our authentic selves. But no matter how we choose to express ourselves, we have to go back to the reasons behind what we do.
In today's episode, Tessa Tovar shares what it means to be authentic. We also talk about the importance of words and how we say them and the key ingredient to manifesting our wants and desires.
If you want to know more about the importance of just being yourself, then this episode is for you!
[13:50] “If you are truly showing up and being true to yourself, you're not going to care if anybody else thinks you're authentic.”
[14:54] “Always bring it back to yourself and understand the ‘why’ of what you're doing and why you're doing it.”
[22:25] “Words don't have to come out so quickly and so rapidly. We can take a moment to think about what we want to say from a place of mindfulness.”
[26:49] “Vulnerability is coming just from a place of being completely honest.”
[33:15] “If we believe that we can bring something into our life, if we believe that there is a way out of a not-good situation, then there is a way to think, say, and do something about it.”
