So powerful.. well said.

Exist in your dream as you are! let NO ONE prevent this.... Your identity is your superpower - your true authentic self.... Watch this short TED video, a great story and message #authenticself #beyou

“Change will come if each of us have the courage to question our own fundamental values and beliefs” It is important to not resist who you are in order to “fit” what the system believes about you! If people are uncomfortable because you don’t “fit” what they believe who you “should” be (due to racial, gender and other biases & judgements), help them get comfortable being uncomfortable around you :) To me, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging means I care about your “mind” and your “heart” and nothing else! #DEI&B #identity

🌟 Embracing Authenticity in the Professional Journey, love America ferreras talk. In a world that often celebrates conformity, I've come to realize the true power lies in embracing our authentic selves. The Authentic Self: It's not just a buzzword—it's a journey. Embracing your authentic self means acknowledging your unique strengths, quirks, and the experiences that shape you. 💼 Professional Authenticity: In the professional realm, authenticity is not a liability, it's your biggest asset. It's about bringing your whole self to the table, contributing with passion, and inspiring genuine connections. 🤝 Connecting Beyond Titles: Titles and roles are important, but they don't define us entirely. Let's connect beyond the professional veneer. Share your passions, your journey, and let's build real, meaningful connections. 🌐 Diversity of Authenticity: Each one of us is a mosaic of experiences. Let's celebrate the diversity of authenticity—different backgrounds, perspectives, and journeys. It's what makes our professional tapestry rich and vibrant. 👥 Building Authentic Networks: Let's not just network; let's build authentic connections. Share your stories, listen to others, and create a space where professional relationships go beyond transactions. 🚀 The Power of Vulnerability: Being authentic requires vulnerability. It's about admitting not just our successes, but our challenges too. Let's create a culture where sharing and supporting each other's journeys is not just encouraged, but celebrated. 📣 Your Turn: What does authenticity mean to you in your professional journey? How do you bring your true self into your work? Share your thoughts and let's inspire each other to embrace authenticity in the professional realm! 💬 #Authenticity #ProfessionalJourney #EmbraceYourself #RealConnections

This reminds me of what we often emphasize at SWEET: 1. Viewing everything as an opportunity, especially our identity, transforms it into a superpower rather than an obstacle. 2. Imagine if patients, colleagues, and ourselves could embrace this perspective consistently. The significance goes beyond words – our beliefs shape our identity, and vice versa, creating a cycle that's challenging to break. The solution lies in realizing we can choose our identity. 3. Beliefs and identity are habitual, and we possess the power to change them. Despite its apparent simplicity, we often live as if we are victims of our thoughts and feelings. The key? Using prompts to observe and separate ourselves from our cognitive functions, reinforcing the idea that we are not bound by our thoughts, beliefs, or identity.
