There is freedom and safety in being your true self<\/h3>\n

As we become more aware of our inner world\u00a0we grow to learn to feel less anxious stepping into and expressing our true self.<\/p>\n

When we understand that we live in an imperfect world which consists of opposites, such as pleasure and pain our real self can develop.\u00a0\u00a0 As we come to terms with living with these opposites our real self has to adjust to the changes we go through as we mature through adulthood.\u00a0 This involves being able to hold and express a wide range of emotions, even when we receive opposition from people close to us. \u00a0\u00a0An essential skill to have in this instance is the ability to negotiate respectfully our position and be heard, and be able to listen to the other person.\u00a0 \u00a0It is having the ability and self-worth to say, ‘let\u2019s agree to disagree’ and\u00a0being able to repair the relationship\u00a0when there is a disagreement.<\/p>\n

How our true self develops<\/h3>\n

The true self blossoms when there are supportive relationships from parents, grandparents, extended family, friends, partners, therapists, teachers and most of all from you.\u00a0 The kind of support that is most beneficial is encouraging\u00a0ourselves from refraining from hiding away from our true feelings even when they feel unpleasant.\u00a0 Our liveliness and joy deepen when\u00a0we allow\u00a0ourselves to safely feel emotions such as anger or sadness.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Our real self is more likely to grow when\u00a0we have supportive people around us to\u00a0share our interests and stimulate us to develop our skills.<\/p>\n

Supportive people also encourage\u00a0us to have a separate self where\u00a0we can grow and develop in our own unique way.\u00a0 Our real self develops as we own our own needs, feel free to express our unique self, look to\u00a0ourselves to make our lives meaningful, and find a balance between being self empowered and reaching out to others to give and accept support.<\/p>\n

Benefits in being your true self<\/h3>\n

When we know who we are and what our needs are and how\u00a0we impact other people, we\u00a0can make better decisions about our need for people and our desire for independence.\u00a0\u00a0 Indicators that we are most likely connected to our real self include an ability to self-soothe painful feelings, make and stick to healthy commitments, express ourselves honestly, be alone without feeling anxious, and we can acknowledge that we have a core self that remains the same throughout our lifetime.\u00a0 \u00a0It is evident that there are many benefits with being authentic as mentioned not only personally but also interpersonally as we learn to creatively enjoy life.<\/p>\n
