Hueina Su presents Home­com­ing to You: Re-connecting with Your Authen­tic Self posted at Inten­sive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul, say­ing, “Learn­ing to love & con­nect with your Authen­tic Self is crit­i­cal in rela­tion­ships. When­ever we say we should or must do some­thing or feel/behave in a cer­tain way, we are judg­ing our­selves. We are say­ing that there is some­thing wrong with what­ever we are cur­rently feeling/doing, and that’s why we need to change (for some­one else’s sake). When you judge your­self this way, either con­sciously or uncon­sciously, on a reg­u­lar basis, you are deny­ing your Authen­tic Self, and dam­ag­ing your self-esteem. Here are some steps you can take to re-connect with your Authen­tic Self.”
