Sleepless Nights: Another Culprit?

Since my April 22 post, "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗨𝗽 𝗔𝘁 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁?" I've paid attention to my own and clients' experiences.

𝗔𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘁? 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴. It creates peace of mind. It reinforces deep trust in yourself. It allows you to sleep at night.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 where mind, heart, body, and spirit align. It is:

Fully owning your experiences.

Facing the truth.

Honestly expressing what's true for you.

Feeling your feelings.

Honoring your commitments.

Consistently acting from your core values.

Living and leading from your highest self.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆.

Each of us has strengths we bring to our integrity. Unfortunately...

We have defensive tendencies and blind spots that stunt our integrity.

We have friction within our internal double binds, incongruities, and contradictions

We face external tensions with others' needs, desires, and demands.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

When something's keeping you up at night, get curious and honest with yourself.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 (from 𝙏𝙝𝙚 15 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥):

• 𝗨𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱𝘀: What haven’t you said that needs expressing?

• 𝗨𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁𝘀: What feelings are you avoiding or suppressing?

• 𝗨𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗱s: Where are you not taking full responsibility for your circumstances or outcomes?

• 𝗨𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗽𝘁s: What commitments or agreements have you broken or neglected?

When you courageously address these four areas, integrity shifts from principle to lived reality.

When you lead with high integrity, you won't just sleep better and feel more vitality.

What is one thing you'll do today to live and lead from integrity?
