Welcome to this month’s mindset tip. I wanted to talk about how to protect your authenticity when you’re dealing with the people in your world. When you are an authentic person, it’s natural for you to be open and genuine with most everyone you meet, right?

Unfortunately, not everyone is like you. For instance,  bosses who just want a warm body to do the work without any interaction. And there are others of ill will and bad faith who would use information you give them against you, to dim your light. So how do you navigate these muddy waters and stay authentic? That’s the tip I want to share.

I’m Linda-Ann Stewart, a focus mentor, writer and hypnotherapist. These videos are dedicated to empower you to focus, and align your heart with your vision so you can achieve your goals.

This tip is from my personal experience, so take it with a grain of salt. But, this is something I’ve had to learn the hard way. I’ve confided in people close to me who twisted what I said to benefit them or who used it against me. My tip is to trust those, with your inner thoughts and beliefs, who have earned that trust. Trust those who have shown they value you.

Not everyone you meet will deserve same level of trust from you. There are times when it’s not appropriate to share your ideas and opinions with others. Think of it like a sliding scale. For instance, clerks, bosses, customers, and others you meet on a professional basis don’t need to know your thoughts.

But even those you meet in your personal life should be assessed for how much you can trust them. Be reserved with revealing your deepest self until trust has grown or you know the person is safe to be vulnerable with.

This doesn’t mean to wear a mask. Just be careful of how you share your light with others, so you only share it with those who will respect and honor you. That way, you safeguard your light and your peace of mind. Thank you for watching. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up.
