Authenticity

We perform a lot in our culture. This can keep us at a distance from how we are truly thinking and feeling underneath. We make sure others are impressed here and there by what we do to get the next project. Keeping up appearances to get invited to the next dinner. Showing a polished, productive self to the world so we connected. But how about your juicy, alive, faultering, raw self underneath? How do we make sure to connect into her/him enough and live from the full breadth of ourselves? Here are some ways to connect into our own authenticity and that of others.
