Summer Shorts: 7 Questions to Ask To Find Your Authentic Self

Modern Gen X Woman

Welcome to our Summer Shorts Series where each week we talk off the cuff about a single idea, quote, concept, inspiration or current event.

If I had to pick one word for the decade it would be “authentic”. Everyone is looking for the real deal with both others and within themselves. The problem is how do you figure out what is truly authentic to you?
With so many inputs of commentary, information and ideas it can be hard to tell where you really begin.
In this week’s episode we are going to help you find your true north star by providing you with 7 thoughtful ways to ask in order to find your authentic self.

In this episode we’re talking seven questions to ask yourself to tap into your authentic self…

#1. When I am in a new environment, do I shift my personality so I can feel like I belong?

#2. Am I satisfied with my life? Am I willing to challenge what doesn’t fulfill me?
#3. Am I willing to be vulnerable or do I put up walls to protect myself?
#4. Do I hold back from sharing my thoughts, ideas, emotions or beliefs fearing other's reactions?
#5. What are my core values and are my actions a reflection of my core value and beliefs?

#6. Do I know what truly lights me up and why?
#7. When you want something, do you reflect on why? When you do something, do you reflect on why? Are these desires yours or are you responding to societal norms and pressures surrounding you?
