"When we act or say something inauthentic, we get that awkward, uncomfortable feeling and hope that no one notices. Others may or may not notice, but what is far more significant is that our own body notices. This is Life’s way of informing us that we are out of alignment with what the situation requires. Conversely, when we act authentically, we don’t leave a wake behind us and we don’t carry regret into the future. This weekend will be about discovering your most authentic self. (It is not…See More

"Worry has been described as paying a debt we don’t owe. We worry about worst case scenarios that almost never happen as we imagine. Byron Katie says that reality is always kinder than the stories we tell ourselves about it. And even when true catastrophes do happen, worrying about it in advance doesn’t help.
