You Were Not Born to Hide
âThe eyes are the windows to your soul.â - William Shakespeare
It has been said that the eyes are the window to your soul. Yet unfortunately, so many people wear masks to hide who they are that no one ever gets to see their true beautiful soul. And sadly, not only does no one else get to know the real them, but they often go through life wondering who they themselves are because they have lost touch with their own selves from spending so much of their lives wearing a mask and pretending to be someone they are not.
Has this ever been you? What mask are you wearing?
You may have begun wearing a mask for protection but who are you really protecting yourself from - the world around you or your own self? Are you trying to hide who you are or how you feel? Maybe you feel like youâre not enough as you are or wonât be accepted as you are. That can be tough, and I understand that sometimes it really does feel safer to put on a mask and pretend to be something you are not. But life was no...
Don't Just Make The List - Live By It!
âWords are just words until you put them into action. Then they can become the character traits that you live by.â ~ Michelle Weimer
Todayâs Masterful Mindset is the last in our mini series on Character. I hope that youâve gotten some clarity about the character traits you most wish to possess.
If youâve been following along the last few weeks, then by now you should have a great list started. But itâs not just about making a list of words, itâs about living by those words.
So, if you donât already have a plan in place for how you will practice those character traits regularly, in order to begin to make them a powerful part of who you are and how you will show up in the world, youâre in luck today.
To end this series, I want to give you a practice that will help you keep those character traits front and center in your mind, which in turn will help you begin to look for opportunities to exhibit them more regularly. (Plus I'm going to give you free access to the app I use for t
...Own Your Personality Types - Change Your Character Traits
âPersonality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.â ~ Elmer G. Letterman
This week weâre talking about personality types and owning who you are but also showing up however you want to be.
In the early 70âs Carl Jung developed a theory about personality types. Maybe you remember taking a personality test somewhere throughout your life, to identify your personality types. Perhaps you were an ISFP or an EITJ or somewhere in between⌠it doesnât matter. They are all good in their own way. No one personality type is better than the other. Unless of course you perceive it that way. So, if thereâs something about your personality type you donât like, then let me tell you how to change the character traits that go with your personality so you can show up as your best self.
Many believe strongly that personality types canât be changed, yet some theories say they can. Iâm not here to argue that⌠But I do want to say that I believe that although a personality test may put y...
Are Your Actions Congruent with Your Character?
"The truth of your character is expressed through the choice of your actions." ~ Steve Maraboli
Fatherâs Day is coming up so of course, it always makes me think about my dad. He passed away a few years ago and I miss him dearly. He was a man of great character and his actions always reflected that character. He had integrity. He was honest, hardworking, fair, reliable, responsible, loved his family deeply and he always showed resilience, perseverance and humility in the face of adversity.
Thinking about him, inspired me to share a new Masterful Mindset Series with you on Character. So for the next few weeks, please come along with me and invite others to join us, as we will be focusing on character. Because truly, I think we can all use a little tune-up in this area from time to time.
Character Traits are all the aspects of a person's behavior and attitudes that make up that person's personality. (Think âdescriptive adjectivesâ here.) Everyone has character traits, both good and...
Gratitude Does the Mind, Body and Soul Good!
âIt is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.â ~David Steindl-Rast
Last week I gave you an interesting statistic on the power of gratitude⌠I shared that people who have a gratitude practice of writing down at least 5 things they are grateful for once a week can boost their happiness by as much as 25% in as little as 10 weeks. Which is a compelling statistic in and of itself. But today I want to share a few more facts with you about the power of gratitude. (Just in case a 25% increase in happiness isnât enough to convince you that itâs worth it to have a gratitude practice.) đ Â
So Robert Emmons, who is one of the worldâs leading researchers on the science of gratitude along with his colleague Mike McCollough were the first researchers to discover the profound benefits of gratitude through their studies.
What they found was that people who regularly cultivate gratitude âexperience a multitude of psychological, physical, interpersonal, and spiritual...
