To express ourselves authentically - firstly we need to know and understand ourselves deeply and intimately - without denial, masks and internal defences - this requires ruthless self honesty. Some of the revealing questions we can ask ourselves are:<br /><br />What is most important to me?<br />What drives or motivates me?<br />What am I really passionate about?<br />What do I really believe in and why?<br />What do I stand for and what won't I stand for?<br /><br />Then we also need to understand what gets in the way of our authentic expression? One could ask questions here like:<br /><br />What am I most afraid of?<br />What stops me from expressing what I really think and feel?<br />How do I get in the way of me being who I really am?<br />What do I need to release to show the world the real me?<br />What do I need to cultivate to show the world the real me? These are just a few questions for reflection.... to start with.<br /><br />The journey to authentic expression is one of self exploration and personal transformation, which requires patience, tolerance and gentleness with self and others, courage and a willingness to be honest with oneself.
