Know thyself.
Be thyself.
We know it’s great to “be yourself.”
But what are next steps to do that?
Through 15,000 of public schooling, we are conditioned to conform and suppress our thoughts and feelings.
So it will take re-wiring to “be yourself.”
BUT before the re-wire, we need to untangle the old wires’ knots.
We need get gain self-knowledge.
Journal.
Walks.
Therapy.
Sentence completions.
Conscious living.
Creative projects that tickle curiosity.
Uncover the True Self. Then you get to be the True Self.
Yes of course, the two can overlap!
But how can you be yourself if you have never written in a journal before?
You need to see what’s going on between the ears.
Hone your authenticity as a craft.
From there, a whole need craft needs honing. You need to apply your internal world to the external world.
Saying what you think.
Expressing what you feel.
Stating an unconventional opinion.
Asserting your needs.
Taking off the masks.
Knowing that you’re worthy of belonging even if you don’t fit in.
The unexamined life isn’t worth living.
Examine it. Live it.
Come alive.
