Authentic self

An idea in philosophy, spirituality, and psychoanalysis.Rather than compartmentalizing what we do for soul, what we do for body and what we do for mind, we believe authenticity lives in the integration of all things that make up a person.  The separation happens because we are taught to view things we do for beauty and body as less important and shallow, and things we do for soul and mind as meaningful and worthwhile.  The end result is that on some level we live in conflict, as though our value is in a constant state of flux and we need to keep calibrating it, deciding at each moment where to direct our efforts so that we remain good or become good.If instead we decided that our value does not diminish or increase- it just is- we can tap into our authentic being in each moment.-- Anita Hora, 2018
