TL;DR
What is Authenticity?
Authenticity involves being true to oneself, genuine, and aligned with one’s values, beliefs, and emotions.
Authenticity is about being in touch with your own thoughts, feelings, and desires and expressing them honestly.
It is about living in a way that is consistent with your true identity, rather than conforming to societal expectations or wearing a mask to please others.
What does authenticity look like in practical daily life?
Authenticity involves embracing your uniqueness, being transparent about your intentions and motivations, and having the courage to show up as your genuine self.
It’s asking for two drinks on an airplane because you’re really thirsty; it’s being yourself on a first date; it’s saying no to activities that you know to no longer interest you.
