unleash your authentic self: break free from expectations

hey there!

today, let's talk about the power of embracing your true self. in a world that constantly tells us who we should be, glennon doyle's words remind us of a crucial truth: "i am a human being, not a human doing." how often do we get caught up in the whirlwind of expectations, forgetting the essence of who we truly are?

society's expectations can be suffocating, can't they? we're often so busy trying to meet these external standards that we lose sight of our authentic selves. but here's the thing: your uniqueness is your superpower. today, i challenge you to pause and ask yourself: when was the last time you made a decision purely for yourself, without considering what others might think?

self-reflection is key to personal growth. it's not about being selfish; it's about being self-aware. by understanding and accepting ourselves, we pave the way for genuine connections and a more fulfilling life. what parts of yourself have you been hiding or neglecting in an attempt to fit in?

remember, breaking free from societal norms doesn't happen overnight. it's a journey of small, courageous steps. each time you choose authenticity over conformity, you're reclaiming a piece of yourself. today, give yourself permission to be unapologetically you. it might feel uncomfortable at first, but that discomfort is the birthplace of your truest self.

your challenge

set a timer for 5 minutes and write down three societal expectations that you've been trying to meet. next to each, write one small action you can take today to challenge that expectation and align more with your authentic self.
