Being Fake

Have you ever come home exhausted saying to yourself: “I just can’t do this pretending any longer”?

Or maybe it was a moment in your relationship with your significant other when you realized how much frustration and resentment you have been holding back.

Or maybe you got just so much out of touch with yourself that you actually legit didn’t know who you were, forget any mention of what it is you want…really.

This is your gut check and to be fully transparent it has been my gut check in the last year or so with me embarking new challenges and new goals.

Let’s start from “Nothing has gone wrong”.

If you feel like you at times lose connection with yourself, realize that you have unrealistic amount of expectations coming from everywhere at any moment: your family, your boss, your spouse, your friends, your followers, heck society itself.

It is hard to keep up with all labels, it is often hard to fit into the box, it is hard to please everyone, especially these people who have opposing views (good luck with that!).

You also might admit that you have high standards for yourself and set yourself for failure as you chase the next perfect version of you instead of celebrating you just the way you are.

So, where is it from?

I find some of these strategies useful:

• Go back to basics: who you are, what excites you, what you want to invest your time in, what matters to you?
• Realize you are not the center of the Universe: while you think people will judge you for anything you do and don’t do, they most likely are busy focusing on their on lives.
• Disappointment: if anyone gets to be disappointed about your life, don’t let it be you.

It is ok that some opportunities will vanish, some relationships will die and some doors will get closed as you embody and bring your real self into all spaces. Remember that it will also bring more people and opportunities that are much better aligned with your vision and your purpose.

So excited to see you giving your authentic self more air time!
