Greetings and welcome friends.
My name is Jessie.
Thank you for joining me for Gratitude in 5 Minutes or Less.
From the Clinical Psychological Review Journal in 2010,
Quote,
People who regularly practice gratitude are happier,
Less depressed,
Less stressed,
And more satisfied with their relationships,
End quote.
So let's get grateful.
Today we are going to talk about authenticity.
One of my favorite authors and thus mentors,
Brene Brown,
Says,
Quote,
Authenticity is not something we have or don't have.
It's a practice,
A conscious choice of how we want to live.
Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day.
It's about the choice to show up and be real,
The choice to be honest,
The choice to let your true selves be seen,
End quote.
Being authentic means figuring out who you are by being present with yourself,
Discovering yourself through assessments,
Learning about your needs and desires.
Being authentic means accepting yourself as you are by embracing both your light and your shadow.
Being authentic means being true to yourself by embracing and incorporating your shadow into who you are and living your path.
Being authentic means that you make choices based on your own individual values,
That you advocate for yourself and your wants,
And that you accept that you are perfectly imperfect.
Being unapologetically you and embracing all that you are,
Including your flaws,
May make some people uncomfortable.
Do it anyway.
Give gratitude for who you are,
All that you are,
Because after all,
Nobody else can do it better.
Let's say some mantras to celebrate ourselves with gratitude.
I will first state the mantra and then we will repeat the mantra together three times.
If you are not in a place where you can state the mantra aloud,
Envision it in your third eye and hold it in your heart.
I am me and nobody else can do it better.
Together.
I am me and nobody else can do it better.
I am me and nobody else can do it better.
I am me and nobody else can do it better.
Next mantra.
I am the person that I wish to be.
Together.
I am the person that I wish to be.
I am the person that I wish to be.
I am the person that I wish to be.
Next mantra.
I release all false ideas of myself and embrace my true authenticity.
I release all false ideas of myself and embrace my true authenticity.
I release all false ideas of myself and embrace my true authenticity.
Next mantra.
My actions and choices reflect my values.
Together.
My actions and choices reflect my values.
My actions and choices reflect my values.
My actions and choices reflect my values.
Next mantra.
I am at home in my heart and spirit.
Together.
I am at home in my heart and spirit.
I am at home in my heart and spirit.
I am at home in my heart and spirit.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
I am grateful for you.
Thank you for being you.
Wishing you a magical,
Inspiring,
And wonderful day.
May your soul shine.
