Being authentic feels to me to be organic, finding my true nature from inside, without the aid of outside input! It feels good, natural, true.
When I am being authentic, I can move with trust, intention, and mindfulness. I feel connected, with my inner being as well as my physical body. I don’t need to judge myself, nor do I need to put limitations on myself, if I trust myself.
