It's Sunday, let's go!

Before reading I want you to do four box breaths.

Exhale to a count of four, holding your lungs empty for a four-count, inhaling at the same pace, and holding air in your lungs for a count of four before exhaling.

Repeat 4 times.

❓Self-reflection question ❓

Where in my life am I being inauthentic?

This is a great question I got asked when recording a podcast and it really took me back.

It’s easy for me to play a character in life.

In some respects we all play characters.

You speak and act differently to varying degrees depending on the context.

I speak differently to my nan than I do down the pub with my friends.

But where In my life was I being inauthentic?

I personally came to the conclusion that it was in romantic relationships.

I find it easier to face something ending early through my own accord or getting rejected playing a character of myself saying what I think they want me to say instead of saying what I really feel.
