Be Truthful to Yourself

Do you ever feel that people don't know the real you, even those closes to you? Do you feel like an imposture, that you're living the life others want you to live? Do you sometimes think that you are different people to certain people in your life, partner, parents, siblings, boss, strangers, etc.?

No worries, this is typical feelings experience by most of us at some point in our lives.

The following is a simple exercise that assists me in 'keeping it real' .

1. When asked what you think always give your true answer.
2. When asking someone what they think, or if they have a preference on something don't let them defer their answer on to you
   
3. Recognize your true self - You do this by being silent / breath deeply / take action when in a calm state
   

This seems simple enough, yes. But try it. It is more difficult than it appears. You will notice how often you or others defer what they think, want, or feel away from themselves on to you. But don't give up because this exercise will help you become more authentic in your relationship with others.

To be truly you - you must always stand in " What I think, want, or feel has valve". If it is difficult, then concentrate on your breath quietly. Wait in the silence when you are sitting in "I don't care" and from the silence, your true self which is love, happiness, and pure energy will emerge. With practice, the 'real you' becomes stronger and more defined.
