391: 5 Ways To Live From Your True Self

Published: Nov. 2, 2023, 8 a.m.

We all have a \u201ctrue self\u201d \u2013 the essence of who we were before the world told us who to be.\xa0

\xa0

We\u2019re born with this essence, but over time, we start reacting to the world around us and create a false self out of our wounds, our experiences and our attempts to get our needs met.\xa0

\xa0

The false self isn\u2019t bad, but it isn\u2019t who we really are \u2013 and a lot of the challenges we experience in life, like anxiety and depression, come from living out of alignment with our true self.

\xa0

Any sort of healing work must begin with cracking open the false self and discovering who we really are.

\xa0

This all might sound very philosophical, but the good news is that accessing our true selves is shockingly practical.\xa0

\xa0

By using simple tools that we all have access to, we can begin to reconnect with who we really are and live with the peace, balance, happiness and fulfillment that comes from showing up authentically in the world.

\xa0

In this episode, I\u2019m giving you five simple ways to start living more from your true self. These are all tools that are totally free and available right now, wherever you are!\xa0

Listen to discover:

What we mean when we talk about the \u201ctrue self\u201d
Why we develop a \u201cfalse self\u201d
5 ways to connect with and live from your true self
How to feel your emotions
Practical self-care ideas
How journaling can help you tap into a deeper part of self

This is a process, but make sure you\u2019re taking time to notice even the little wins. As you experiment with these tools, really sit with that wonderful feeling of rediscovering a tiny piece of yourself. Start paying attention and validating yourself for who you really are.

\xa0

Over time, I think you're going to be really surprised (in a lovely way) when you begin to not only rediscover aspects of your true self, but also start claiming those aspects and living from that place more each day.

\xa0

\u201cSome of us have a much thicker layer of the false self, and some of us have a thinner layer of the false self. The good news is [that] anyone can learn how to penetrate that false self and rediscover and live from their true self.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\u201cGetting in touch with our emotions is such a magical thing.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\xa0

\u201cWe have a lot more emotions than happy, sad, mad, ashamed and glad.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\xa0

\u201cWhen we put ourselves first and practice what we need as far as taking care of ourselves, it's really, really healthy.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\xa0

\u201cSelf-care is tuning in and asking, \u2018What do I need right now in order to make myself feel more comfortable, safe, relaxed and de-stressed?\u2019\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\xa0

\u201cSelf-care activities will promote and help with self-love and self-worth.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\xa0

\u201cBreathwork takes you deeper into yourself. It can truly crack you open and help you to get in touch with some emotions that have been trapped or stuck.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
