We live in a society where expectations and comparisons are the order of the day. Everyone has strengths, abilities, and characteristics – making our world so colorful, diverse, and exciting!

Are you bored of the dull uniformity, and do you finally want to discover what makes YOU you?
Then start and discover the power of authenticity. This can be the turning point in your life.

From inspiration instead of comparison

Whether on the pages of magazines, on Instagram, or in our immediate environment: there will always be people who appear more beautiful, better, more intelligent, or more successful. And that is a wonderful thing.

Suppressing the urge to compare ourselves to others or constantly optimize ourselves requires unnecessary energy. It keeps us trapped and prevents us from enjoying our lives to the fullest. How much power is there in this that you could use for yourself? You have immense potential – use it!

Let’s be honest: Do you want to continue to limit yourself or finally stand by your true self?

By focusing on inspiration instead of comparison, you unleash your creative potential and get closer to a fulfilled life. A small excerpt of the positive added values of your inspiration:

• You gain recognition instead of envy.
• You open up and learn from others, and they learn from you. 
• Your voice becomes more important.
• You discover new perspectives. 
• You build an active and mutually supportive community. 
• You can focus on yourself and your development. 

Stay authentic. Stand by your truth!

Everyone promises it and thinks they are, but what does authenticity mean?
Authenticity is the ability to recognize and accept your true nature. It is about living your values, beliefs, and passions without being disguised by outside influences. Authenticity is being in tune with yourself, acting accordingly, and expressing your unique personality in all facets and areas of life.

By living your authenticity, you radiate from within and attract people inspired by your authenticity. Be ready to be the author of your own story, and let your voice ring out!

Want a little authenticity guide?

Being authentic consists of various components, which I would like to go through with you. Certainly not a complete list, but values that I have been able to draw on over the years and that could help you:

Authenticity Boost I – Honesty

Stand by your truth and share it – without compromise.

Don’t feel like going on a date tonight? Say it!
Your colleague at work is getting on your nerves? Communicate it.

Stop wrapping other people in cotton wool. This does not mean you should behave like a bull in a china shop and throw out all spontaneous impulses unfiltered. But you should be honest about what you think and feel – and you can put it into nice but clear words. You don’t have to please everyone and always be “nice” – because, as we know, that’s the little sister of shit. Be honest with yourself on the surface – deal with yourself and your wishes, dreams, and expectations. How can you be real if you don’t really know yourself?

Establish clarity in your life and make decisions in harmony with your inner self.

Impulse by Katja:
Squeeze your cheeks and take responsibility for yourself – because only YOU can change your life.

Authenticity Boost II – Openness

Stay open – to yourself and to the world. Life primarily means development and change. Look at the world through the eyes of a child, your former self, and free yourself from stuck patterns of thinking and behavior. Do you feel the difference?

Authenticity Boost III – Courage

Admit your weaknesses and mistakes and learn to accept them. Perfection makes you rigid, leads to pressure, and is simply unsexy. Dare to be real and try new things. It’s just part of life to really mess things up sometimes. We are human beings – not machines. Be uncomfortable when necessary. We need individuals who dare to share their truth and speak out.

Do you want to leave your own mark on the world?
Then be willing to swim against the tide, enjoy it, and learn from mistakes.

Authenticity Boost IV – Passion

What are you passionate about? What ignites your inner fire? When you do what you love, you are truly free. And nothing moves other people as much as someone who brings their deepest passion into the world.

Impulse by Katja:
What are you afraid of? If you are truly YOU and radiate that, you can only win. Don’t let yourself be impressed by the expectations of others, but stand by what really makes you you.

Do you want to know what makes you UNIQUE?

I have walked the path, and I can tell you: it is not easy, but it is worth it!
The turning point is there, and the chance to release your limitations is attainable. Let’s go for it!
