stay tuned. This is Damon with NLP Gymm be
yourself
what does that even mean? If you haven't
already please click subscribe to this
YouTube channel to get these videos on a
regular basis for as long as i can
remember from as young as i can remember
i can remember people always saying just
be yourself
what does that even mean how can I not
be myself who else am I going to be my
mentor or one of my mentors Judith
DeLozier likes to say that because she's
an extremely authentic person and you
get this about her as soon as you meet
her
or any time you see her teaching and
then you talk to her on a personal level
she is the same person through and
through she's extremely congruent
extremely aligned when people tell her
oh you're so you you're so authentic
and she'll say well who else am I going
to be there is a simple wisdom to that
there are many ways to interpret just be
yourself just be yourself can mean don't
do anything that feels uncomfortable
because if you judge being yourself is
only doing things that you feel
comfortable doing or being in situations
or environments in context where you
feel comfortable being you more
comfortable in the situation and that's
how you judge being yourself well then
you will never step out of your comfort
zone
you'll never do anything that stretches
you or pushes you you'll never grow and
you'll never actualize your potential
and I know a lot of people who are like
that I've also didn't like that myself
at certain times in my life and I was
extremely unproductive and miserable and
it wasn't good so I don't think that's
really what being yourself as some
people judge being yourself as in you
don't you never change your opinion you
drive the same type of car you
live in the same house you have the same
friends you do all the same stuff to do
the same routine you do basically
basically your life looks the same day
after day year after year that's not
being yourself that is being boring then
there are people who judge being
themselves as just going with the flow
not honoring commitments or appointments
changing their mind constantly because
things are ever-changing and I'm just
sort of flowing with that and so I just
go with the flow and that's not being
yourself even that's just being really
flaky and capricious how do you know
when you're being yourself this idea
about a flow state is extremely popular
nowadays and with good reason this idea
of a flow state is that state where it's
really alive and really active and yet
at the same time it feels effortless it
also feels like it's intentional and
it's purposeful and yet it's sort of
detached from an outcome it also feels
like you sort of are losing yourself in
the moment and yet at the same time you
feel a hundred percent president flow is
really when you're being yourself and it
might seem like this really heightened
an elusive state that we can't create at
will but in actuality it is something
you can create a will it is you can live
in flow now there might not be that sort
of heightened state that you feel from
time to time because there's flow the
heightened state and then there's living
and flow and when you're living and flow
you're more likely to experience the
sort of heightened state we go through
heightened states and then lower energy
states and we have to do that we can't
stay in a heightened state all the time you're
nervous system couldn't even handle that
living and flow however will be a
feeling of being at peace and
experiencing joy even in the midst of
hardship it's that underlying feeling
that's always there that you know it's
going to be okay
you can spend the rest of your life
mastering flow because essentially with
mastering flows is mastering life and
you absolutely should spend the rest of
your life
mastering your life would also you here
for what is flow then? Flow is complete
alignment with your highest values when
you are congruent with your values then
you because you can become aligned with
your values when you're aligned with
your highest values you become one
hundred percent present when you are
present you flow in order to become
congruent you have to first accept who
you are and where you are in your life
right now
warts and all that means all the things
that you fear that you are regardless if
you actually are those things it's you
accept that you accepted as true and you
accept the fear in order to become
aligned you first have to know what your
highest values are that is your
intention in life and that is your
purpose in life and when you become
aligned with the highest values
