Last week, how did it feel to live out of your uniqueness (your authentic self)? Did it feel uncomfortable? Did you enjoy it? Did you experience the freedom that living authentically provides?

Living out of your uniqueness means:

• Exercising your freedom
• Living life on your terms
• Doing what you are passionate about
• Doing what you are skilled and gifted at
• Making decisions based on what YOU want
• Having relationships based on YOUR terms
• Living assertively
• Dressing the way YOU want
• Looking the way YOU want
• Doing what is important to YOU
• Feeling good about yourself
• Accepting yourself for who you are, no matter the pluses and minuses
• Chasing the dreams that matter to YOU
• Feeling the way YOU want to feel
• Having a great relationship with yourself
• Respecting yourself
• Living your life with purpose; YOUR purpose
• Living the real YOU

Living out of your uniqueness means living your “authentic” self according to the direction and manner YOU decide, and based on YOUR preferences–not based on the opinions, choices, or preferences of others.

Living out of your uniqueness brings freedom. It sets you free to live your life the way you choose.

Authentic living reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, and all of the symptoms these behavioral disorders cause.

Unfortunately, many people don’t live out of their uniqueness. They frequently find themselves living life based on others’ terms, choices, expectations, and preferences. They do their best just to “get along,” or “get by,” and may even find themselves really busy. But living life based on THEIR terms seems like an unrealistic and unattainable dream.

This week, we want to find out how many of you are living life based on YOUR terms. So, are YOU living out of your uniqueness?  Are YOU living your “authentic” self?

Have a great week.
