Reacting Is NOT Authenticity

Many of us confuse authenticity with reacting from our emotions or reacting from our thinking.
That's not authenticity. That's emotional immaturity.
Authenticity ≠ Reacting.
Where there's drama in our lives, we're caught in Reactivity.
Re-acting. It's a repeated act. It's a replay of how we've been before, it's unoriginal, and it's constrained.
And the people, situations, politics, and circumstances of our lives aren't the reason we're caught in reactivity loops - even though it really really looks that way.
Ever notice how when we're reacting, there's someone or something to blame? We blame when we're unwilling to be responsible for our experience of life.
Blame is a self betrayal - we disempower ourselves and claim to be the victim of our circumstances. We sell out on our innate ability to thrive no matter the circumstances.
One of the issues at play is that many of us feel we only have 2 choices when it comes to challenging emotions or thinking: reacting or repressing. Neither of these is authentic.
There's a third way: the path to Emotional Freedom and Mind Mastery.
This path offers us the freedom to creatively respond to the people and circumstances in our life instead of being constrained by the impulse to react.
Message me if you'd like to explore what the path to emotional freedom and mind mastery looks like for you.
Much Love. ❤️
