Being your true authentic self means what you say in life aligns with what your actions. How many times have you dismissed how you were feeling, made the decision you thought you should make and lived to regret it?
Learning to hear our inner voice and trust it is an invaluable skill most of us never master. It’s only when you learn to follow your gut that you’re able to lead an authentic life that fulfills your dreams.
When you know your authentic self, life is a whole lot easier. It’s like a compass guiding you to make the best decisions for you.
Knowing your authentic self results in numerous benefits like:
- Self-Acceptance: Embracing your authentic self allows you to accept who you are, including your strengths, weaknesses, values, and beliefs. This self-acceptance can lead to greater self-esteem and self-worth.
- Genuine Relationships: When you’re authentic, you attract people who resonate with the real you. Authenticity fosters genuine connections and relationships based on trust, honesty, and mutual understanding.
- Personal Fulfillment: Living authentically often leads to a sense of personal fulfillment. By aligning your actions with your true self, you’re more likely to pursue activities and goals that genuinely resonate with you.
- Confidence and Empowerment: Being authentic fosters confidence because you’re not pretending to be someone else. This confidence allows you to take risks, express your opinions, and stand up for what you believe in.
- Resilience: Embracing your authentic self helps you weather life’s challenges. When you know who you are at your core, it’s easier to navigate difficulties and setbacks.
- Inspiration to Others: When you’re true to yourself, you might inspire others to do the same. By living authentically, you can encourage those around you to embrace their uniqueness.
- Reduced Stress: Pretending to be someone you’re not can be emotionally and mentally taxing. Living authentically reduces stress by eliminating the need to constantly maintain a facade.
So while it’s great to know what living your authentic self can do for you, what the hell does it matter if you don’t know how to find and listen to your authentic self?
Thanks to holistic health coach Koya Webb, there is a proven way to do it calledImpeccable Listening.
“Impeccable Listening is the practice of teaching us that through practice and with cultivating space, we are able to hear the answers to the questions we seek that are within us all,” said Webb. “Impeccable Listening is a mastery concept for our intuition, that allows us to ask, listen, and act upon the answers we have received.
This January, Webb is leading a retreat to teach you how to find and listen to your inner voice. Held at Melia Punta Cana Beach Resort in Punta Cana, the Impeccable Listening Root Chakra Retreat featuring Webb and her mentor Queen Afua provides four days of workshops, individual sessions, exercise and meditation classes to get to the root of you.
