Be Real - What Stops You

Be Real - What Stops You

Tapping Fearlessness

Hello friends,

Today I'd like to talk about being real in a world where so much is either superficial or glamorized.

Background

We live in times when societal pressures and expectations can make us feel we must conform in order to be accepted and valued. It requires courage to be real and embrace who we truly are. Interestingly, when we take the leap and embrace our authentic selves, this opens doors closed to us before and gives us new avenues to explore! I find that exciting, don't you?!

5 Roadblocks To Being Real

  • Society pressures reward performance, not authenticity. When you become fearless, choosing your authentic path, you risk standing out, receiving criticism, or being misunderstood.
  • Information overload makes self-knowledge harder. It takes determination, dedication, and ongoing inner work to truly know yourself.
  • Authenticity requires vulnerability. When you share your imperfections, uncertainties, and values - it can feel risky. That's because our culture rewards certainty, bravado, and perfection.
  • We live in a time when cultural narratives are engineered. They often are crafted to shape identity, behavior, and belief. To resist that influence requires being present and critical thinking - which takes energy and sometimes a feeling of alienation from the mainstream.
  • Authenticity is a lifelong process. You don't just "become" your true self one day - it's an ongoing journey of unlearning, reflection, and growth. Unlearning is challenging, unless you have the openness to question what you learned and embrace seeing it differently.

In summary, we may encounter challenges that test our resolve to remain genuine—whether it's the allure of curated social media personas or the temptation to conform to others' ideals. However, it is in these moments of vulnerability that we discover our strength and resilience.

My Personal Experience

I can tell you from personal experience the gift of being vulnerable and real - like when I changed my branding some time ago or changed my events from in-person to Zoom. I knew it might be either misunderstood or an outer world challenge for some of my students, but I had the courage to listen to my guidance and act on it.

We Divine Changemakers are constantly being nudged by our guidance to be real.

Together, we can create a supportive community that celebrates realness and encourages emotional well-being. Let us take this empowering step towards embracing who we truly are!

I welcome your exploration of my offerings that can guide you on this transformative journey toward thriving in both your personal and spiritual lives.

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or feedback you have.

Thank you for referring your friends!

Wishing you love and blessings,

Selacia
