as I continue on with my theme of authenticity for 2025, I’ve compiled a list of 13 things that can help me and you and us to get to know ourselves better + I added some practical writing exercises that you can do right after listening to this for my paid subscribers. I hope you enjoy and here’s an outline of this episode:
define who you are not first, before you define who you are
correct people when they get things wrong about you
do things in your own time
try new things and be okay with being bad at first
set boundaries and be brave about enforcing them
pay attention to things that have stayed consistent about you throughout most or all of your life
pay attention to which things and people make you feel bad
get comfortable with silence and solitude
notice your habits - cultivate the good ones and correct the bad ones
allow room for change, because it is inevitable
journal and document your life (see episode 004)
curate your consumption of digital and physical media / objects
