Signs You Are Not Living Your True Self
Being true to yourself means that you behave and communicate in complete integrity with your belief, values, and, most of all, with what feels right in your heart. When there is an alignment with your inner self (emotions, states, and desires) and outer self (behaviors, communication, and relationships), you are the best version of yourself.
Here are a few signs that indicate you are not aligned with your true self at work:

You don’t get along with your colleagues and get in conflict with them quite often.
You are not comfortable with your abilities and feel the constant need to reinvent your skills.
You feel you are not contributing to this world in a fulfilling way.
