You may believe that authenticity automatically brings you balance, but that's not always the case (especially when you're JUST finding your feet).

The key is to find balance WITHIN your authenticity. And here's how you can do that...

1) Acknowledge intangible progress

Authenticity and personal development are intangible journeys. There is no visible, objective way to determine whether you are making progress and this can make you feel stagnated.

This is why you have to pay close attention to yourself and acknowledge even the smallest amount of progress you make, even if it's not noticed by others.

Maybe you respond with more maturity when conflict arises? Maybe you are better able to assert your boundaries? Maybe you are demonstrating more patience and emotional control.

Whatever progress you make - no matter how small - deserves to be acknowledged and appreciated.

2) Manage Your Expectations

As an authentic person, a lot of imbalance and stress can come from expecting reciprocity and positivity to come from others.

When we let go of these expectations and understand that everybody is at a different point on their own journey, you no longer need to get frustrated and create imbalance within yourself.

3) Be patient

Change, especially positive change, takes time.

Giving yourself grace and plenty of opportunities to improve is exactly what will help you to advance on your journey.
