DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO BE YOURSELF?

I have had to break my life to find back to myself, to my values, to the joy of life.

• Are you yourself when you are with others?
• Do you turn on and off when you mean on and off?
• Do you communicate your needs when you have it (and not 10 days after)?
• Do you take your needs seriously, whether you need time alone, being in nature or sleeping?
• Do you treat yourself with love, for example, the amounts of exercise, diet and work?

These 5 questions should preferably be answered yes if you feel that you are definitely walking around and being yourself - and also living a life where you are faithful to yourself. A few years ago I could far from saying yes to all these questions. I could not say on and off without feeling guilty and shame and that I was completely wrong. I put everyone else's needs in the first place. And I could often first notice my own needs or limits several days after they had been overtaken or violated.

In the meantime, I would have thought that it is deeply selfish always having to "listen to oneself" and thus set itself first, but my main acknowledgment in the course has been that it is exactly the opposite: first When you are something for yourself, you can really be something for others. Only when you are faithful to yourself can you be authentic and faithful to those you love. Only when you have the courage to be yourself can you You release inner stress and anxiety and give you life. Because you are sure that you can count on the one you always want to be on your side: yourself.
