Relationship with self and its importance
Good evening!
I have recently completed the IDG course, and felt compelled to write about our relationships to ourselves as a priority. As we spend a lot of time helping and supporting others, or sharing our experiences with listeners, it is important to understand ourselves first. Taking the time to reflect on who we are, what we value, and how we show up for ourselves can strengthen the way we connect with those around us.
For example, being authentic and carrying yourself with integrity allows for honesty and sincerity, which, when harnessed correctly, allows for openness to learn and grow too. These qualities help us build trust within ourselves, encouraging confidence, self-awareness, and resilience in both our personal and professional lives.
All of these components are incredibly important to our relationships with ourselves, so I ask you…
When do you feel most authentically you?
When was a time recently you were open to learning and grew from this experience?
These questions are an opportunity to pause and reflect on our own journeys. I believe that self-reflection is an important part of personal growth, and by understanding ourselves better, we are better equipped to support and connect with others.
I will share my responses below!

I feel most authentically me when I allow myself to express my personality in its entirety.
I recently learnt about personality disorders as I had a lack of understanding about them. I felt it was important to learn to better assist those who need support, I learnt that not one case is the same, and everyone with a personality disorder is likely to be experiencing something entirely different to someone else with the same disorder. Understanding this is integral to better support those in need
