3 ways to be authentic again

Hai :D

You were born authentic. Growing up, you realized that being your true self doesn't save you from being hurt or attacked by others. You learned to develop a mask to protect your true self. And by that, you hide your true self from other people, the world, and yourself.

This works for a while, but eventually, you realize you are unsatisfied with your life. Because you're living someone else's life. And you know you need to become authentic once again. Because a fulfilled life is a life that is lived by you and for you.

But the question is "How does one become authentic?"

Today I am sharing with you 3 strategies to gain back your authenticity.

My intention in sharing this knowledge is to offer a start to your journey of returning to your purest, truest self!

Bai :D
