Live Your Truth

Live Your Truth - Deep diving into understanding how to create a life of alignment

‍

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve alluded to the ideas of living out or truth. I talked about finding a desired feeling and what that means and then I expanded on it and reflected how we need to exude and embody that feeling if we actually want to live it. However, the more I think about that concept the more it is apparent that living in that way stems from our individual views on life. We need to dig beneath the surface, see the signs, and trust our intuition so that it all comes together.

If you follow along the self-development space there is a lot of dialogue around the concept of living your truth. It’s a phrase that is tossed around and at a certain point it becomes watered down and it loses its meaning. However, the concept is incredibly powerful. Living our own truth isn’t just a woo-woo phrase that means you get to do whatever you want chalking it up to Living my truth if people question you. It’s actually deeper and more embedded than that. It’s the understanding of what you have experienced and lived and then using that to live in alignment with what you want.

Living your truth is gritty hard work of looking at what you have done, what you have experienced, discounting the opinions of others and looking deep within to discover; one, who you are meant to be and two gain clarity on your life. We all have different lived experiences, we all see the world in different ways, so we don’t need to let others tell us about what we know about the world. That knowledge comes from us. 

‍

As much as it may suck to dig in deep beneath the surface and pull up old wounds and hurt, it is a process that is incredibly important and powerful. Understanding why we see things a certain way or experience feelings and emotions a certain way allows us to better understand ourselves. When we gain that better understanding of ourselves we start to live in alignment with who we are meant to be. Our pursuit and seeking of our individual truth allows us to give so much to the world. 

‍

When we align with our truth, start trusting it and ourselves we become a more authentic version of ourselves. And the truth is, when we are a more authentic version of ourselves other things start to come together. We have deeper, more connected relationships and friendships. We are more honest with ourselves and can start to see the moments or areas of our life that are not a proper reflection of who we want to be. We can identify the parts of our life that make us feel most alive and the WHY behind that. 

‍

Living out our truth isn’t just throwing caution to the wind and doing something because it feels good. Living out our truth is the end goal of what happens once we dig deep inside ourselves, doing the messy work and figuring out who we are meant to be in life. It’s the ping we get from our soul when we find something that lights us up. It’s the feeling of aliveness that we crave when we do something we love.

Live your truth, find your spark, exude and embody what you want your life to be.
