#themaskswewear #whoami #whodoipretendtobe Most of us wear some form of a mask to hide those parts of ourselves we don’t think are lovable or acceptable. I give all my new clients this assignment. I think it’s a good jumping off point. One of my goals with all my clients is to decrease the amount of time they spend pretending.Authenticity makes for a more pleasurable life.

In case you’re confused about why certain people make you feel a certain way, it’s helpful to consider that person’s, and sometimes your own, emotional stability/maturity/awareness/etc.

Clients ask me all the time, is this normal? Do other people do this, think this, wonder this? My answer is always a big YES. Not one time have I said or even thought, NO, that is not normal. This Ted Talk addresses this beautifully

This just popped up on my Facebook feed from years ago, and it’s such a great reminder. Just because something is true doesn’t mean it has to be said. I put true in quotes because often what is true for one person isn’t necessarily true for someone else. Opinions aren’t facts. Be impeccable with your word as it states in #thefouragreements. Impeccable literally translated means ‘without sin.’ Words are powerful. Use them wisely and thoughtfully
