Rethink Your ASSIEs

Societal norms are so engrained in us; it can be difficult to get to a place of true authenticity. We’re afraid of exposure, so we dress according to society’s one-size-fits-all standards. As with fashion trends, we need to recognize what works for us and what doesn’t. Instead of being forced to layer up based on someone’s definition of “acceptable,” we need to evaluate our wardrobe and make sure it’s the right fit. When we strip down to find our own signature style, the one that we’re truly comfortable with, proud to display, and that reflects the real us, it helps us worry less about being judged, and we work toward a place of full presence, connection, and social impact—the real good life we want to have.

Authenticity Check

• Is the image I portray consistent with my true self?
• What’s the one word or phrase I want people to use to describe me?
• Would people be surprised to know my true thoughts and feelings?
• Do I tend to go along just to get along?
• How many people know the “real me”?
• Do my values align with the things I do every day?
• How often do I compare myself with others, or even try to be more like them?
• Am I holding back from doing things I really want to do or say out of fear of being judged?
• Is my image or personal agenda interfering with my ability to bring impact within my circles or on a broader level?
• What is my current definition of the good life?
