Exercise: The Authenticity Check-In

Reflect on the following questions in a journal or notebook:

1️⃣ Think of a decision you’ve made recently (big or small).

  • Why did you make that choice?
  • Were you influenced by your own values, or by external expectations (society, family, pressure from others)?
  • If you had made the decision purely based on your values, would you have done anything differently?

2️⃣ Think about a time when you felt completely authentic and aligned with who you are.

  • What were you doing?
  • What values were you honoring in that moment?
  • How can you bring more of that alignment into your life?

Reflection

Do you see any patterns between when you feel fulfilled versus when you feel conflicted? Note down your observations in your journal

Key Takeaway

When you understand your core values and align them with your daily decisions, you step into authenticity and purpose. This lesson helps you recognize moments when you are truly yourself—and when you might be compromising your values for external reasons.
