Carving out time for yourself in the morning tells your brain and body that you matter.Stop beating yourself up for being a people pleaser; it's a result of thousands of years of conditioning.Why are we inauthentic? Because we are afraid of losing people.When you are vulnerable with people, your relationships deepen.To deal with tech, curate your social media feed, leave your phone at home when you go out with loved ones, and post without scrolling.It's okay to disagree and speak up for yourself.If you live inauthentically, you will be unhappy. We must have the courage to be authentic; our happiness depends on it.Gratitude is the easiest first step toward living authentically. Wake up and write down 3 things you're grateful for and look at the list in a week. Notice the magic that comes your way.Give yourself permission to rest, work at your own pace, and do things your own way.Kristina's websiteKristina's InstagramKristina's podcast**The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for general informational purposes only.
