Self-growth is delicate & confronting. But there is no greater investment honey

Are you craving to be more and show more of who you REALLY are, but just don’t know how . Because revealing these intimate and vulnerable parts of yourself is hard?

Well heres the thing.
I was scared too. That’s why I have to remind myself of this every single day. THERE IS NO GREATER INVESTMENT!!

In fact it was just recently when I was facilitating a online training in one of my women’s workshops and one of the members asked me.
“Marissa what changed for you? what was the light switch moment that allowed you to move forward in creating a life where you became more sacredly unapologetic?

It was when I truly understood that authenticity &
self-experssion was the key to my Alignment.
Yes, it was when I finally gave myself permission to be Me.
To feel the emotions I feel, without judgement.
To use my voice when I had something to share.
To not question myself when I felt good about something.
To not question myself when I didn’t feel good about something.
To forgive myself and others.
To surrender to what was.
To let go of judgement on myself and others .
To allow my laughter & playfulness to return.
And to do it with grace and kindness.

So how did I change my beliefs?

Well I did the freaken work on me.
Hours of self education in the early morning.
Hours of self education in the late evening.
And through this commitment .
I found a new certainty that the currency of true authenticity is transparency and being truthful.

However I don’t think you should be vulnerable every day, but there are moments where you’ve got to show your soul and conscience beilefs with people and do it with integrity, so you can show them who you really are with out fearing a reaction of judgement.

Ultimately, people are attracted to authenticity.
It makes us feel comfortable, safe, and respected. We want to be around and associated with authentic people.

There is nothing more powerful than trusting YOU.

So if you struggle to show the world how you truly are. here are four techniques that can help you be your most authentic self, even in uncomfortable situations.

COMMIT TO BEING MORE SELF AWARE
As with many paths to self-improvement, you must start with observing YOU. As you meet new people, and spend time with different social groups, try to observe how you feel in each situation.
LeaRning to be more observant and self-aware will allow you to recognise when you are feeling uncomfortable, understand why you are feeling uncomfortable, and signal to yourself to intentionally draw upon your authentic self.

BE GROUNDED & PRESENT
It is easy to be in the middle of a conversation with someone, and while they are talking, your mind wanders to life. Try to be more present in your conversations and relationships. Be an active listener, and give people your full attention. Mastering the art of presence perhaps is the single most effective way to ensure authenticity in any situation.

ALLOW GENUINE CONNECTION
Because we are all humans, we all have something in common. Commit to truly understand the people you around you. Ask thoughtful questions, and listen intently. By developing a genuine understanding of and connection to the people you are with, you are more likely to feel genuine and authentic yourself.

FORGET TRYING TO BE PERFECT.
It’s freaken impossible to be “perfect.
We are all imperfectly perfect.
Therefore, if you try to be perfect or act perfectly, you are already being disingenuous.
Embrace your imperfection and dare to be a bit vulnerable. You’ll be amazed where vulnerability can take you.

WHEN YOU FINALLY ACCEPT YOU, THE REST OF THE WORLD WILL TOO HONEY

I love you have a blessed day!

Ps. Choosing to be YOU first is not selfish, it is a gracious gift to the world
