Hello Queen,
I am back! I know it has been a while since I’ve been with you sharing my thoughts and what comes from my heart, however, as I stated before I have been dealing with some major health issues. Nevertheless, I have decided, (and it is a choice) to continue writing and sharing empowering information no matter how my journey turns out because it is something I love to do. It is a part of my assignment from my creator. I am called to encourage, inspire, and empower women. Now, let’s jump right in. Praise God we have made it to the beginning of a new year. Therefore, my question to you that I have already asked myself is…are you going to do and be the same way you were last year? Let’s not! This year I encourage you to work on embracing being your true authentic self.
Queen, people are drawn to authenticity because it’s rare, it’s real and it’s a reflection of courage. Being your true authentic self carries with it a distinction of your worth and value. It helps you be the woman who knows her worth, stands her ground, and walks with purpose. When you rise to your full potential, you inspire other women who are watching you to do the same. This year, instead of crafting resolutions that force you into a mold of becoming someone you’re not, try embracing the most empowering resolution of all: being your true authentic self. In a world that often pressures us to conform, discovering and embracing authenticity is a radical act of self-love. Here are some transformative benefits of starting the new year as your genuine self.
1. Stronger Confidence
When you embrace who you truly are, you free yourself from the exhausting task of pretending to be someone else. Authenticity fosters self-acceptance, which builds unshakable confidence. As you lean into your true self, you’ll radiate assurance that draws others toward you and sets the tone for a year of unapologetic self-expression. Amen! No apologies needed!
2. Healthier Relationships
Authenticity creates space for meaningful connections. By showing up as your true self, you attract people who resonate with your values, interests, and energy. These genuine connections nurture mutual respect and understanding, making your relationships deeper and more fulfilling.
3. Greater Emotional Freedom
My sister, hiding behind a mask can be emotionally draining. Choosing authenticity means liberating yourself from the burden of trying to meet external expectations. This freedom allows you to process emotions honestly and engage with life’s challenges and joys more fully. You master your emotions instead of them mastering you.
4. Improved Mental and Physical Health
Studies show that authenticity is linked to better mental and physical well-being. When you align your actions and decisions with your true self, you experience less stress and inner conflict. This harmony promotes a healthier mind and body, setting a foundation for a thriving year ahead.
5. Increased Clarity and Purpose
Being authentic allows you to tune out the noise of societal expectations and focus on what truly matters to you. As you align with your core values, you’ll gain clarity on your purpose and priorities, making it easier to set goals that are meaningful and achievable.
6. Enhanced Creativity and Productivity
When you’re not preoccupied with trying to fit in, your mind is free to think creatively and work productively. Authenticity unlocks your unique talents and perspectives, enabling you to approach tasks and challenges with renewed energy and innovation.
How to Start Being Authentic in the New Year
Reflect on Your Values: Take time to identify what truly matters to you. These values serve as your compass.
Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself as you unlearn habits of conformity and embrace your uniqueness.
Set Boundaries: Protect your energy by saying no to things that don’t align with your authentic self.
Surround Yourself with Supportive People: Seek out individuals who encourage and celebrate your authenticity.
Celebrate Small Wins: Each step you take toward being your true self is worth acknowledging and celebrating.
My Final Thoughts
My beautiful sister, this new year, give yourself the gift of authenticity. By embracing your true self, you’ll step into a life filled with confidence, connection, and purpose. Let this be the year you break free from societal molds and fully embrace the unique, remarkable person you are. The journey to authenticity might not always be easy, but it will most definitely be worth it.
Many Blessings,
Dr. Doris
