Consider three ehowtwo tips to be more authentic.
1) Get to the root.
The true meaning of authenticity is in its Latin root, which means "author" Thus, being "authentic" is not being honest about who you are, but rather, about being conscious you author-create your life. Authenticity is both active and creative process. It's not about revealing something, but building a vision of you.
2) Share intimate revelations.
Life is a mirror. The more intimate you get with yourself and share about yourself, the more comfortable you are with intimacy and transparency. As you join the dots of childhood events that shape your character and share these, you show integrity, own the process and integrate the soul lessons that enable you to move into an expanded version of you. Love is not about a relationship. Love is relating. It is an ongoing phenomenon, a verb not a noun. To relate is insecure and relationship is a security. The flow of revelations is like pure water.
3) Be.
When you are fully authentic, you never have to go through the process of revealing who you are. True authenticity doesn't require you to tell anyone else what your values are, because everyone will be able to see your values in the way you live your life. When you are fully authentic you don't reveal your chosen values, you become them – you live them.
