Todays thought from Hazelden is: Cultivating Authenticity Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are. The idea that we can choose authenticity makes most of us feel both hopeful and exhausted. We feel hopeful because being real is something we value. We feel exhausted because most of us know that choosing authenticity is a huge undertaking. Choosing authenticity means Cultivating the courage to be imperfect, to set boundaries, and to allow ourselves to be vulnerable; Exercising the compassion that comes from knowing that we are all made of strength and struggle; and Nurturing the connection and sense of belonging that can only happen when we believe that we are enough. Authenticity demands Wholehearted living and loving – even when its hard, even when were wrestling with the shame and fear of not being good enough, and especially when the joy is so intense that were afraid to let ourselves feel it. Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy and gratitude into our lives.
