Anyhow, in the past, when friends made reference to such icons in conversation, I often feigned familiarity to help the conversation flow more easily. These were totally inconsequential white lies, right?

Cotton was a restless kid growing up in deep suburbia. Her family lived in Hillingdon, a few miles from west London, which she found dreary and dull. Dad was a signmaker, Mum did all sorts. At the local comprehensive, a careers adviser suggested she become a teacher. Cotton had other ideas. As humans, we want to connect, belong, and generally be liked. This can be what makes having a practice of connecting and actually expressing our truth a big challenge. Speaking my truth and seeing every day as a new opportunity to actually live it has been a core value, especially since my late twenties, when I had a big realization that the life I had worked so hard to build up until then was misaligned to my truth and in need of a total reset. Having this core value and practice has led me to have the courage to follow my dreams despite obstacles, as well as the courage to leave jobs, organizations, and relationships that no longer served me or were misaligned. The beauty in embracing this all personally is that it’s given others the courage to speak and live their own truth as well, or at least embark on the journey. Like Mindfulness, Truth-Seeking is a PracticeWhen you’re known for someone who speaks their truth, people will go to you for advice and opinions. Since they know you’re someone who’s real, they take your word for everything you say and have no reason to doubt you.

Rather, you should stay true to your own opinions and voices, no matter what anyone else may think. While it’s easier said than done, you won’t ever regret speaking your truth. How to use the “2-Way Chakra Energy Current” so you can manifest your ideal life AND tap into a higher consciousness for inspiration – all at the same time.The most courageous thing we’ll ever do in our lives is be our true self, and live our full authentic expression. Each breath we take is an opportunity to sink deeper into that possibility. Sitting, breathing, sinking into stillness, a new portal opens with every inhale and exhale. The tension, worries, fears, doubts, joys, identity, anticipation we might have brought to our practice get to take a rest for those mindful moments we choose to take. One of the many benefits of meditation is that it connects us with truth: the truth of the present moment and truth of our own being—where we are no one and no thing. We can experience our true essence. Seeking the Truth is a Journey This is a great meditation to do right before meetings, negotiations or important communication of any kind. Your truth is your power; so never give your power away to anyone else for any reason. Another way of framing this idea is that, to remain fully conscious in your life, it is important to speak your truth, which in turn, increases self-knowledge. Granted, sharing your truth takes a leap of faith; however, only then can you learn and know the doing of your purpose. It’s Better to Live a Hard Truth than a Beautiful Lie

I worked up the courage to tell my mom how I felt, only to end up needing to comfort her for the way I was feeling. Last year came with a lot of triggers, especially as a leader of this nonprofit organization. So much pain and disappointment as a result of unconscious bias, as well as blatant discrimination, came up for me and the many times I had had to experience it in my lifetime. Being in a leadership position and still not being able to bring a resolution also came with more pain and disappointment and feelings of not only letting myself down, but other women like me. It took everything in me to pause, reflect, and then write my observations and recommendations after each incident. I knew reacting and getting into heated conversations was not the way through. For any hope of change in the future, documentation and reflection was key. When faced with triggering environments, it is also important to be compassionate with oneself and create space and distance when necessary. 5) Know Your Boundaries Intellectually, I know I’m going to be OK,” she explains, “but my body goes into panic. It’s a whole PTSD thing, feeling unsafe in certain spaces. I worry something is going to go wrong or I’ll be judged, and I go into catastrophe mode.”When you speak with honesty, it usually stems from your inside passion, compassion and interests. When you’re talking with your friend, lover or coworker, start by being honest while talking to them. You will showcase what interests and fuels you, while also bettering the state of your heart because honesty feels, and looks better from the outside. 2 You forget fear I had a very difficult experience at work.
