How to
Become More Authentic?
A friend of mine called yesterday to chat. She had been in a
relationship that was finally coming to an end. She had not been
able to be authentic with him and was suffering from the 'games' they
were playing. He was respecting her less and less and she felt more
and more disconnected from him. She had been losing sleep over it...
When she called me she had already figured out the problem:
She had not been able to be true to herself. She had hidden her true
thoughts and desires. And she made a promise to herself, to never do
this again.
But why did she ever think she had to hide anything?
Again,... old conditioning, beliefs, memories. We all have these
beliefs they mostly came from our parents who at the time didn't know
how to love and accept us as we were. All the fears about being
authentic, are based on memories and beliefs from the past.
I want to invite you to release all of these fears and beliefs. they
make you wear masks and prevent you from being happy in your life.
There is nothing more empowering and joy producing than to follow
your heart and be authentic. When you wear masks, you are trying to
manipulate others into loving you, but the only problem is that --an
you know it-- they don't really love you. They love the mask.
And soon enough the mask is going to fall off!!! and I don't want to
be there to see results!
The amount of energy you are using to hide behind this mask is huge.
You may have no clue. You have gotten used to it. But the more you
spend energy hiding, the less you have creative energy to manifest
what you truly desire in life.
So 'what should I do?' You may ask.
'I have always been like that! I may not be able to change.'
bogus!
Remember, your power is in the present. You can change NOW! The past
doesn't exist--I know it did, but it doesn't anymore. As creator of
your reality, you have the choice.
Ready, set, go!
Use the Q-Word Method described in my e-book: M-Power to release
all the fears about being truly yourself:
For those who want to learn this simple and very powerful method, go to

and order M-Power e-book
and workbook.
If you already have your Q-Word or another method of dissolving beliefs
rapidly
and easily go ahead with the following exercise:
Step 1: State out loud: 'I am me' and then listen to all the thougths
and emotions that will come up and tell you the opposite. Many
situations in your life will come to your attention when you are not
totally authentic. You may think something like this: 'No, I cannot
be myself with Joe, he would drop me like a hot potatoe...' and now
Step 2: Repeat your Q-Word in sequence for 30 seconds or so...With the
intention to dissolve that belief/thought/emotion!
Repeat step 1 and 2 for as long as you need until you can say out
loud and feel totally in alignment with this thought 'I am me'.
At this point, you can go even deeper and say 'This is really me!'
And many occasions where you have not been totally authentic will pop
into your mind. Do the same 2 step process with this new statement.
Keep erasing anything that comes up.
This exercise is very powerful. If you persist with it, it will free
you up. You will feel empowered like never before.
Think about all the time you lost in your life in false
relationships, based on misunderstandings. think about all the
conflicts and lack of true connections resulting from hiding your
true self. The cost is tremendous. It separates you from your Source
energy, the power to create your life deliberately. It robs you from
one of the most delicious pleasure: to feel whole.
Becoming more authentic is a path. If you have not taken this path
yet, go ahead, begin the journey; it will lead you directly to
paradise...on earth.
Warmly,
Colette
