Soulful Sunday: Authentic Self

“The demand for a false self to cover and hide the authentic self necessitates a life dominated by doing and achievement.” – John Bradshaw

Are you overdoing it? Sometimes our mile-wide To Do lists keeps us moving towards our becoming. But when we fall into bed exhausted and wake up needing gallons of coffee, it might be time to look underneath. I wonder what might be on your soul’s to do list? Mine often has staring out windows, journaling, hot cups of chai with friends snuggled in the same side of a booth. It has writing and reading books I sometimes don’t let myself have time for. What’s on the Soul To Do list for you?

These Soulful Sunday blogs go out weekly on Sundays to be used as a place to step back from the hustle and bustle and explore what your soul might be saying to you. Some folks use these as journal prompts and let loose amidst pages. Some folks bring them to the kitchen table and jam over coffee. Do you, boo.
