Are you trying too hard to live a life that is not yours? Perhaps you are trying to fit the mold of what society thinks you should be, or your friends think you should be. Why not let that go and live a life that is more authentic to you? Today, we are finding the beauty in an authentic life.

Do you ever  wonder how many people truly like the expensive things they buy into? Or the picture of what society thinks they should look like? How many times do you buy something because you are truly in love with it? I mean, really really like the item for the style, or is it simply the price tag that appeals to you? When you buy something, buy it because you truly love it, it truly represents your style and who you are. Not because it will help you fit into the cookie cutter mold of who think others would like you to be. That is the whole idea of living an authentic life. The labels, the names, the price, all of these things should not make your decision for you.

As everyone struggles to fit in, society has become cookie cutter. Neighborhoods are being built where every house looks the same. We try to mimic the styles we see on television and in magazines. And as moms, we have fallen into this same mold, where everyone is starting to look the same. Not because we necessarily like the look, but because it is what society as deemed to be the poster child of the perfectly put together mama. Isn’t that exhausting?

Today, embrace the idea of an authentic life. One tailored on your own individual likes, needs, and style. It does not get more perfect than that. Stop thinking about what others want or expect from you, and instead create a life that is made around your own likes and tastes, no matter how quirky or different they are. Dare to be different.

So how will you live a more authentic life? What molds will you break? Step outside of the box and let us know. We would love for you to share with us on the Facebook page or Community Chat page your thoughts and ideas.

Have a wonderful Monday, I hope it is an inspiring one for you.
