Dan Munro outlines his Philosophy of Integrity in full for the first time. This philosophy emphasizes individual self-discovery and the absence of rigid rules. Integrity is defined as consistency and honesty, while confidence is described as a deep-seated belief in oneself. The philosophy posits that increasing integrity leads to greater confidence and a better life. Munro identifies core values as subjective principles guiding your behavior in a way that will improve your confidence and the lives of those around you, such as honesty, courage, and responsibility. He stresses the importance of aligning your everyday actions with your values, continuous adaptation of your values, and the rejection of instant gratification for long-term benefits. Munro also highlights the influence of various philosophers and thinkers on this philosophy. At the end, you will get a step by step practical guide for living by with integrity: Action Items [ ] Identify your core values. [ ] Create a guiding principle or definition for each value. [ ] Test and measure how well you are living by your values, and refine them as needed. [ ] Treat each day as an opportunity to experiment with living more by your values. [ ] Use the 3x model of curiosity, honesty, and respect to continuously enhance your wisdom about living with integrity.

At the height of her worldly and academic success garnering three Harvard degrees, Martha Beck received life altering news, and discovered that maybe she didn't know everything. This set off a lifetime of pursuing ways to soothe her nervous system from anxiety and find freedom in a new purpose. In a world where anxiety seems to be spiraling out of control, Martha offers a revolutionary approach to understanding and befriending anxiety. Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience and her years of experience coaching people through what she calls the “Change Cycle,” Martha shares: The four phases of the “Change Cycle” Why anxiety is on the rise and how it's affecting us all The unexpected connection between anxiety and creativity How to access your own creative genius You're also not going to want to miss Jen and Amy's discussions before the interview on embracing the mantra “it's never too late” and Jen's incurable attachment to an ancient email address. * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: "Hold it [stability] very lightly. Let it go. Because everything is always moving and changing." - Dr. Martha Beck "If you try to speed yourself through the process of letting go, of grieving your losses, of at least giving a really deep, profound, heartfelt farewell to the life you used to have — if you don't go through that process, nothing good is going to come of it. You're going to end up in lifelong therapy." Dr. Martha Beck “There is a sensation deeper than the mind, more profound than anything we could think, and in some ways, far more powerful than emotion. It is a kind of stillness, a connection. I believe that this is what consciousness is. It behaves this way when it is neither us nor a substance. It is a vibrantly alive stillness that pervades the universe, however many there are. And we are part of it; we are indistinguishable from it.” - Dr. Martha Beck "The first step to getting out of anxiety is to recognize that an anxious brain is not a broken machine--it's a frightened animal." - Dr. Martha Beck “The moment you move into a place of compassion, you use your brain very differently than when you're in an anxiety spiral. This shift frees you to pull your attention away from the anxiety and begin being loving with yourself.” - Dr. Martha Beck "You were born a creative genius. Your mind is so capable of solving the problems that make you anxious, but only if you free that genius. And anxiety keeps it caged." - Dr. Martha Beck Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Becks Monthly O Magazine Column - https://www.oprah.com/spirit/martha-beck/all Bewildered Podcast with Dr. Martha Beck & Rowan Mangan - https://bit.ly/3zkyic2 The Gathering Room Podcast with Dr. Martha Beck - https://bit.ly/3XquFsV The Way of Integrity Finding the Path to Your True Self - https://bit.ly/3ziwm3F Nisargadatta Maharaj - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisargadatta_Maharaj NASA's Creative Genius Study - https://bit.ly/4dSoFAl Wildr App - https://apps.apple.com/my/app/wildr/id1604130204 Guest's Links: Dr. Beck's Website: https://marthabeck.com Dr. Beck's Wayfinder Life Coach Training: https://marthabeck.com/life-coach-training/ Dr. Beck's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themarthabeck/ Dr. Beck's upcoming book: https://marthabeck.com/beyond-anxiety/ Courses & Retreats with Dr. Beck: https://marthabeck.com/courses-training/ Connect with Jen!

This week's episode of the Prosperous Empath® gets to the heart of how to access your creativity to overcome hardship and build an aligned life. I sit down with Carey Kirkella, an award-winning photographer for purpose-driven brands and the creator of The L.E.N.S. Method™, to have a conversation about mental health, regulating your nervous system, and sparking your creative expression. Carey shares her story of living with bipolar disorder and experiencing postpartum psychosis and how she channeled her lived experience into creative self-expression. What if we go through life experiences - and even hardships - to ultimately use them as means to create, tell stories, and heal?

Whether you're struggling with finding motivation or just seeking inspiration, this conversation offers a roadmap for personal growth and progress.Key TakeawaysAchieving personal growth and progress requires a balance between self-care and pushing through resistance.The hosts discuss the challenges of modern life and how it can impact one's ability to push through resistance.Mental and physical illnesses can make it difficult to discern, and the need for seeking help and prioritizing self-care in those situations is emphasized.Being in alignment with oneself and following one's own path can make difficult tasks feel more manageable.Resistance can prevent people from taking action towards their goals or desires, and taking small steps towards action can inspire bigger steps.Finding balance between self-care and discipline, and between pursuing one's own path and engaging in mundane tasks, requires self-awareness, discernment, and discipline.Meeting resistance with gratitude and presence and recognizing the beauty in small tasks can help find joy in the day-to-day.Resources MentionedThe Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self by Martha BeckThe War of Art by Steven Pressfield

In this episode, we introduce the idea of self-integrity. Which is identifying the values that we have and keeping the internal and external self in alignment with those values. The most important relationship we have is the one we have with ourselves. The way we honor and build this relationship is by showing up for ourselves consistently. This can be in the goals we set, the plans we make or in the way we talk to ourselves. This concept of integrity is essential to creating a steady foundation for which we build the best version of ourselves and that "self" can show up everywhere we are and in everything we do. Take home points: You have all the components on the inside you need to run efficiently and effectively and they match everything the way you perform on the outside. When we're not living in alignment and not doing what we say, then we lose credibility. Most importantly, with ourselves. We stop believing anything that we say that we're going to do. The first thing you need to do is to define your values. The second thing we need to do is be mindful of our thoughts, and we know that our thoughts really are the source of everything that happens in our lives. The goals that you set for yourself, do it out of love for yourself. Not as a comparison to somebody else or somebody else's expectations for you. It's important to set yourself up for small wins. Set realistic and obtainable goals. Use your prefrontal cortex, the planning part of your brain!

We are back today discussing integrity, Martha Beck's book, “The Way of Integrity”, and the importance of stepping into your true self. The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self https://www.amazon.com/dp/1984881485/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5W8PX4J6ETXXRPAD15AF

Martha Beck is a Harvard-trained sociologist, world-renowned coach and New York Times bestselling author. She has published nine non-fiction books, one novel, and more than 200 magazine articles. Her latest book “The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self” is a must read and was a selection in Oprah's Book Club. In this conversation, we talk about the importance of integrity, the power of not lying and how we can truly have anything in our lives. If you are struggling in your life, this conversation could turn everything around, as Martha clearly articulates why we do what we do and how to change our life direction towards happiness Follow Martha Beck: Website: https://marthabeck.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themarthabeck Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themarthabeck Twitter: https://twitter.com/marthabeck  

PART TWO: Martha Beck Quits LyingAuthor, speaker, teacher, legend, Oprah-endorsed Martha Beck is known for quitting a lot of things: her family of origin, her religion, marriage, heterosexuality, academia, multiple versions of herself…the list is long. But the thing she quit that has had the most profound and rippling effect was lying. And we mean, lying about anything at all. Years ago she made a resolution to not tell one lie—to herself or anyone else, even the pleasant little lies we tell to make other people feel better—for an entire year. It was through this one commitment that Martha conceived that if we all quit lying and told the truth ALL THE TIME we'd meet our most authentic, liberated selves. (We tried it; it's hard.)In this second episode of a two-part series (if you missed part 1, listen to that first; it aired last week), we continue our conversation about, well… how to be a person. We talk about how the only intention you need is to feel a little better, and how to get there – hint: get out of the mind and into the heart, because our minds are dumb and limited – and the difference between what we want and what we yearn for, and why the things we want won't actually make us happy (even if what we want is a yacht, and we get it!). Also covered: how to recognize a soul teacher; the idea of abandoning both hope and fear; and the breakthroughs and benefits that come from trying on the opposite of our deepest beliefs. (Martha references “The Work of Byron Katie” here.) The intro ends, and the episode begins, at 00:12:40.Dr. Martha Beck is a New York Times bestselling author, life coach, and speaker. She holds three Harvard degrees in social science, and Oprah Winfrey has called her “one of the smartest women I know.” Martha is a passionate and engaging teacher, known for her unique combination of science, humor, and spirituality.

Moving into all the possibilities of our lives requires a fearlessness that can seem out of reach. Dave Schmelzer takes a look both at helpful tools along these lines from modern teachers and also at how some New Testament writers teach us that overcoming our fear of being afraid unlocks the rich benefits of faith itself.Mentioned on this podcast:Hebrews 11:13-16The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self, by Martha Beck

“I've won arm wrestles with big muscular men, right out of prison because you align the energy. Everything wants to harmonize with it and things start to flow with you and it's silent and it's, it's quiet, it's gentle, but it's incredibly powerful. The strength you can access when you're in a state of integrity. So as that starts to grow, we're seeing the Putins and we're seeing the Trumps because they are so freaking loud. And we don't even know that in the silence all over the world, there's another power rising and rising and rising and looking at what's happening in Ukraine and looking at the atrocities and saying, okay, we're not going, we're not gonna do this anymore.”  So says Martha Beck, a Harvard-trained sociologist and life coach who is the author of many incredible books, including the just-released, WAY OF INTEGRITY, an Oprah bookclub pick that just might change your life. Martha describes integrity as that sense of wholeness that we can all tap into when we are aligned and attuned to our true selves on the deepest level. It is from that place that we feel unrestricted and safe—like we are at one with the world and each other, and that we no longer feel compelled to control our own behavior in order to earn acceptance and belonging. It is a place of strength, freedom, and radical honesty. The book, which is a mixture of memoir, anecdotes from her own, fascinating practice, research, and worksheets, uses Dante's Inferno as a guide to healing. As with any heroic quest, you must go down before you can go up, and Martha walks you there, hand-in-hand until you reach the place of Satori, or enlightenment, which is really another word for the state of integrity. If you can't tell, I really loved this book–and I loved our conversation.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus encourages us towards a kind of perfection--what the contemplatives see as a kind of inner, structural integrity--that God has. Dave Schmelzer looks at two different takes on how to pull this off: one from pop culture, and the other from among the most ancient and enduring Christian spiritual practices, the Jesuit practice of the Examen.Mentioned on this podcast: Sleeping with Bread: Holding What Gives You Life, by Dennis, Matthew and Sheila LinnThe Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self, by Martha Beck

Many people who are asked to identify their “true self” (apart from their specific beliefs and behaviors) draw a complete blank. This sense of shame-spiraling after being asked to talk coherently about our sense of identity is even more pronounced for those of us with BPD and CPTSD. Being true to yourself requires that your whole Self be “whole” – or “integrated.” I recently got into a new book, “The Way of Integrity” by Martha Beck, which points out that “integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.” In this episode, we'll dive into how much of what makes our lives miserable (people-pleasing, staying in toxic relationships, self-sabotaging behaviors, and coping styles) is because we are out of touch with what makes us feel whole. In these moments, our defensive emotions and reactive impulses overrule our Higher Selves. In these moments, we are living out of integrity. In this episode, I'll walk you through how to resurrect the Self fully and transform your well-intentioned but misguided and disowned childhood parts into wholeness. Into integrity. Below is a summary of topics covered in this episode: ■ (Intro) Why practical skills and therapy might feel like they're not “working” if you're living out of integrity■ How the new book I'm reading - The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck - inspired this episode (and a little story-time read of a short excerpt!)■ How and why we compromise our integrity■ How the word ‘integrity' is intimately related to the psychological concept of ‘integration'■ How being out of integrity leads to splits in our personality and disconnects us from our true selves■ History of internal family systems therapy and how it relates to the concepts of integrity and integration■ Understanding how our different “parts” try their best to protect us from psychological/emotional pain but end instead causing mental health problems and compulsive/maladaptive behaviors■ Understanding and connecting with our “inner conductor” (also known as the higher self, or seat of higher consciousness)■ Becoming aware of our deeply buried “inner exiles” (the most vulnerable & deeply wounded childlike parts of ourselves) and how they unconsciously take the seat of our higher awareness, causing most of our adult suffering■ Examples of how our protective and non-integrated parts make it impossible for us to uphold our inner integrity and keep us stuck in feelings of loneliness, powerlessness, and shame■ How different parts of our personalities change an adapt to survive continuous abuse and neglect in childhood■ Understanding and accepting our caretakers as flawed humans who were disconnected from their “inner conductors” and letting their disowned parts rule the show■ How we externalize old feelings of inadequacy, abandonment and worthlessness and project them onto our partners and friends in adulthood Resources mentioned on this episode:Book | The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to You True Self by Martha BeckExcerpt from the book posted on Oprah DailyArticle | How & Why You Compromise Your Integrity Follow & support the podcast (& join the Discord recovery community): click here See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

She holds three Harvard degrees in social science, and Oprah Winfrey has called her “one of the smartest women I know.” Martha is a passionate and engaging teacher, known for her unique combination of science, humor, and spirituality. Her newest book, The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self, was an instant New York Times Best Seller.   If you have not yet read Martha's book, The Way of Integrity, it's a must-read. We go deep into the power and meaning of integrity and the effects on our body, psyche, and mind when we are not living in integrity with our true self. Martha shares many exercises, tools, tips, and ways to find your truth, in addition to sharing her own incredibly moving and evocative story in how she personally excavated herself to discover she had been living much of her life out of alignment with her truest self. Integrity is very much connected to being and expressing your You-est You, which boils down to living in authenticity and following your inner teacher. I can't wait to share the highlights from our conversation! Here's to your journey to greater integrity, peace, and happiness. What is Integrity I love this quote from Dr. Martha Beck, "integrity is the cure for unhappiness." The word integrity comes from the root integre, which means intact. When we abandon our whole self, we split into parts of ourselves. This emotional split creates duplicity within our own sense of self and causes a feeling of separation from our true selves. This is the root of psychological pain. I see the You-est You as your true self, and as Martha shared, integrity is the essence of our inner teacher, our truest and highest self, our You-est You (or me-est me). Listening to your inner teacher is important, and this voice can only be found in the present moment. The present becomes a stretcher of grace, as Martha stated, and is where we will connect back with our core self. Understanding the meaning of integrity and allowing it to let your essence flow is what Dr. Martha Beck's book, The Way of Integrity, is all about.  A Year of No Lies When we split from ourselves, what we really desire is wholeness. A way to commit to our true self is deciding that we will not tell any kind of lies . . . including white lies. Martha gave herself the challenge of one year of no lies, and you'll have to tune in, and read the book, to find out what unfolded. The meaning of integrity doesn't just apply to your interactions with others but how authentic you are with yourself. What is crucial is rewiring from cultural expectations to your truth. This takes courage and incredible strength, yet the result will be the sweetest freedom and sovereignty that only integrity and being fully truthful can bring.  How To Live In Integrity When you are living in your truth, you will be brought into peace. The first step to living in integrity is to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Watch how this feels and how it might be challenging, especially for us recovering people-pleasers, and notice how your body loves the truth. The second step is to turn the light on your truth and see what is really going on. We'd never leave ourselves if we weren't afraid. Be gracious with yourself as you tell the truth. The third step is to calmly acknowledge what you're scared to look at. Sit with this fear and honor that it might not feel safe right now, but soothe and calm yourself that it's ok not to be ok. This will switch your brain and body from a fright/flight state of being to relax while in the presence of uncertainty. It's ok to be still and still be afraid. Allow yourself to be held in the stillness and know that you are ok even if you don't feel ok. What we're afraid of is losing a sense of control and self. In this process, you will rediscover your own divinity.  The Force of Light and Your Truest Self Dr. Martha Beck explains in The Way of Integrity that we are all the same . . . we're meant to go from misery to our natural state of happiness. When imagination is connected to your truth, it creates your own personal heaven, and the force of light can flow through you. An offering that can help bring you back to a state of calm and your truest self is to relax yourself. Try this breathing exercise where you surrender on the inhale and say, "I surrender my resistance to everything being in the Universe in this instance," and allow on the exhale and say, "I breathe in and allow everything to be in the Universe exactly as it is in this instance." This will help you to tap into your natural flow and surrender to a greater divine force.  Final Thoughts Dr. Martha Beck helps us understand the meaning of integrity and how we can not only understand it but align ourselves with it and live from a deeper state of being. This deeper state of living is what gives us the happiness and peace we all innately crave.

"Your life will tell you the truth." —Martha Beck, author of The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self Divided. Compartmentalized. Unable to give what is needed, not by choice, but by pure, sincere inability due to time and energy. Signs of living a life off the track of the way of integrity. Martha Beck explains in her new book, The Way of Integrity, the word integrity originates from the Latin integer meaning "in tact" and therefore cementing the definition of integrity as "to be one thing, whole and undivided". When we are not living a life of integrity, we are not being true to ourselves, nor the world. Now you might be thinking about the general and more commonly understood definition of integrity - living by your 'values' or abiding by the morals society applauds, but this is not what Beck writes about in her book. Instead, Beck looks at the true meaning of the word and applies it to each of us individually, daring to step away from any culture's expectations - a life of integrity is one when you have aligned your body, mind, heart and soul - your actions, your mental strength, your true self - you set yourself free. In the introduction she uses a phrase commonly known on this blog/podcast - you achieve a sustainable joie de vivre. "You may not believe that such a fulfilling life is possible. It is," Beck states with calm, assured confidence and goes on throughout the rest of the book, speaking from her own incredibly challenging and terrifying and finally liberating life journey, indeed what she shares is true. "No matter how far you think you've strayed from your true path, the moment you say I'm going to trust myself, I'm going to follow my truth, the healing begins." Beck's book crossed my path just after I had officially and publicly announced a resolve to live my own life of integrity as I had turned in my resignation papers concluding a 20-year career in teaching public education at the secondary level. I arrived at my decision after more than a few years of hemming and hawing about such a choice being necessary for me to live fully in alignment with what I knew to be true in my heart of hearts. And, as I shared in my May episode of the video series A Cuppa Moments (learn more about becoming a TOP Tier subscriber and discover more intimately why I made this decision here), it wasn't about running away; it was about running toward something I loved even more. Another way of looking at the way of integrity is much like putting together a puzzle. It can be especially hard to rationalize why we should leave something when on paper and to onlookers everything hums along beautifully, but if the puzzle doesn't allow your true nature to be nurtured, as Beck describes, when you are "rushing to conform . . . often ignoring or overruling [y]our genuine feelings—even intense one, like longing or anguish—to please your culture . . . you've divided yourself. [You] aren't in integrity (one thing) but in duplicity (two things)." In other words, the puzzle isn't your puzzle to be a part of. Having the courage to step away from something that works, even if we languish while others shine is not living a life of integrity. "When you pursue a career that pulls you away from your true self, your talent and enthusiasm will quit on you like a bored intern." The question we each need to ask ourselves is, “Does the culture nurture your nature?" Pause for a second before answering because I would have answered yes a couple of years ago as the quality of my overall life improved immensely having moved to Bend, Oregon. And what enabled me to move to this dream-of-a-town in my eyes? A teaching job; however, upon reflection, with more truths revealed, and after reading her book, my answer whilst trying to teach and write, is most certainly no. How do you know if you are out of your integrity? 1."Your life goes pear-shaped" Beck reveals how our inability to communicate civilly, snapping at people we love, letting ourselves be distracted regularly by rabbit holes on the internet, and on the health side - your "immune system and muscles becomes weaken . . . emotionally feeling grumpy, sad or numb." Focus and clarity — difficult to maintain, sickness is more frequent and energy is depleted. All of these 'symptons' are red flags your life is out of integrity. Let's end this point on some good news: "Integrity is the cure to unhappiness. Period." 2. Living a life governed by the 'should's and 'supposed to' expectations Living simply luxuriously, at its core is built upon questioning society, putting into practice critical thinking skills and thereby thinking well. When we think well, removing our biases and acknowledging the short-sightedness as well as true motivations of the culture we live in, we can think clearly and free ourselves from the pressures and guilt placed upon us to live a certain way. Even if 'your way' seems simple compared to significant societal differences such as announcing you are an atheist in a family full of devout believers of any one religious institutional faith, acknowledging your truth regarding your gender even if your family or friends cannot understand your truth, or standing up for a political issue which forces your family to confront their own long-held unconscious biases. Your way of integrity needs to be honored to set yourself free. Beck writes in detail about her own breaking free from the 'should's when she speaks about her stepping away from Mormonism (receiving death threats for doing so), sharing with the world and her husband that she is gay, and choosing to keep her child who she knew to have Downs Syndrome (even though at the time, people she respected urged her to not to). In great emotional, yet step-by-step detail, she shares how she made it to the other side and because each decision was her truth, her choice, she set herself free. She stopped living the life she was 'supposed to' and stepped courageously into a life of integrity. 3. Emotional Struggles "Whenever you lose your integrity, you'll feel your own unique brew of bad moods, depending on your personality . . . anxiety and depression [or] . . . free-floating hostility, itching to punch everyone in your office, familiy, zip code [or] . . . full-on panic attacks, especially during special occasions." For me, leaving teaching felt culturally 'wrong'. What I mean by that is, teaching and being a teacher is held in high regard, as, in my bias, yet as much as I can remain objective, it should be. So leaving a profession which society holds in deservedly high esteem felt to already be making the 'wrong' decision. However, as Beck calls them, my 'wild beasts' of bad moods would arise in the weirdest of times. I knew something was not in alignment, but nearly all of my acquaintances, friends and even my mother, were or are teachers. So how do you have a conversation with them about leaving a profession they are already in and most of whom sincerely love and have found their calling? In my case, you keep teaching. 4. Bad habits — can't break them The bad habits could be an onslaught of a variety of behaviors ranging from less harmful to incredibly life destructive, but anything which does not constructively add to your life and the quality of your days is a bad habit. Whether excessive financial expenditures, harmful drinking or eating habits, relationship failure after failure because you refuse to have the ability to either see or change what needs to be addressed, such habits stay with us because "when [you're] feeling fundamentally lost, afflicted by purposelessness, foul moods, and bad jobs, anything that stimulates the brain's pleasure centers can become an addiction." I can thankfully say, I had a positive outlet for my lack of finding complete fulfilling purpose in teaching: blogging, which turned into podcasting, which turned into cooking, which became my pleasure and purpose and I am incredibly grateful I honored my curiosity to explore what this 'blogging thing' was all about way back in 2009. I don't think we all have to have horrible habits so much so it becomes painfully obvious to outsiders we are not on the right life path for true integrity, but what I appreciate about Beck's book is bringing to our attention habits which if we are being honest with ourselves, aren't helpful to living a life we sincerely love living, but we keep engaging in said habit because we need the pleasure; we need something to 'feel' good because so much doesn't, and we don't know or don't have the courage yet to step off the path that isn't ours to walk. How to return or begin to live a life of integrity? 1.Stop lying "Here's the rub: if you stop lying, you'll eventually, inevitably violate the rules of a culture that matters to you." Stop lying when responding casually to the question, "How are you doing?" Be comfortable with expressing your exuberance or exhaustion about the day. The passive or a default way of living is not living, and it's not the way of integrity. How we connect with others, truly connect, is to be honest. I find that our culture is more comfortable with complaining even though America strives to be happy at all times. It is as though we must not be 'too happy' lest someone either question what makes us happy or want our happiness, when the truth is, there is not a limited supply. However, most Americans are too exhausted to figure out their own unique path to happiness. But the supposed secret as Beck reveals is simple: finding and living your integrity will lead you to peace, which will lead to the desired outcome of happiness. Again, this is a push-back on culture, not the people living within the culture. Admittedly, yes, a culture is made up by people, but when we recognize we are complicit in any culture which doesn't wish for its people to find peace and contentment, we must question it. Doing so is an exercise in critical thinking. And how we do that is by finding our own way of integrity and living it. 2. Knuckle down for the first step of changing your life - it will be hard Be prepared, the first step, the first shift you make will be the most difficult and will feel impossible on your way to fully being your true self. But the good news is, it is 'steepest at the start'. And in even better news, because you are stepping into your integrity, let that energy be your fuel. Just as it did for Dante (Beck's entire book parallels the journey of Dante through the levels of Hell in Dante's Inferno, Part I of The Divine Comedy) who because he wanted to be set free "so damn much" used that "intense wanting" to "propel him forward over terrain he doesn't believe he can cover." 3. Acknowledging and walking away from 'bad or disordered' love "'Bad' or 'disordered' love emerges when people are well-meaning but mistaken—for example, when we feel loyal to people and ideas that don't match our inner truth." So many of Beck's anecdotes are specific and clearly teach what she is introducing to readers. On this point she shares, "You might stop laughing at your coworker's crude jokes. You may come out as gay or trans. You may start posting things on social media that shock your loved ones. You may turn into some version of Rosa Parks, refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person." In sharing these examples, she reveals how quickly our lives will change when we step away from 'bad' love. And it happens quickly because while you've known for quite some time your truth, you haven't shared it with those who you've let keep 'loving' you in a way that serves their needs, but neglects yours. 4. Be prepared to contemplate returning to old ways (even if they weren't true to you) Prior to deciding to leave teaching, I chose to regularly see my counselor, and I am grateful I did. On this point, she reminded me, after always checking in with me about how I was feeling about my decision (once I had decided I would write my resignation letter) that there will be mourning for the 'old misery'. In other words, the life you know and are leaving, you will at times - whether in your dreams or in different states where you are emotionally weak or exhausted (these times especially were when my doubts would arise) - seriously doubt the decision you are about to make. What is happening is natural, and it does subside in time as I can share now after having felt those moments of mourning for the known misery early on after having made my decision. "Studies in psychoneuroimmunology show that if we plunge too quickly into any major change, even a good one, our bodies and minds can't absorb the shock. We must give our psycholoigcal and physiological systems time to adjust." How we give ourselves this time is where the phrase "mourning the known misery" comes from. And it is knowing that such a temporary state exists that we are able to better navigate through this time and into a life in which we are fully embracing our true nature. A few words from Beck on this subject, "If you start honoring your true nature and find yourself missing your old culture, don't panic. Be kind to yourself. Allow yourself time and space to grieve. Confide in loved ones. If they don't understand, find a coach or therapist. But don't think that missing your old life means you should go back to it." 5. A life transformed for the better "Whatever you do to heal the world, it will replace [bad health, habits, moods, etc. - what Beck refers to as 'dark wood of error symptoms'] with purpose, happiness, vitality, love, abundance, and fascination that specifically match your true nature." Perhaps this all sounds too good to be true, but simply the fact that you are thinking that is the hope you have unconsciously, that you hope it can be true. That it can be possible. Benefits of finding your way to integrity and living it daily 1. A life full of "meaning, enchantment and fascination" The world needs what you uniquely can give to it. When we each find the courage to honor our nature especially when the culture doesn't nurture it, we step forward toward a life full of meaning, and we as well become uplifted and enthralled with the awesome life we have the good fortune to live. Beck points out that thankfully, 'nature doesn't give up without a fight', so if you are doubting that it is too late, that you've waited too long, no, it's not and no, you haven't. The mere fact that you are still contemplating, wishing, hoping, wondering is nature's strength of hanging on until you finally take action to courageously find your way of integrity. 2. Breath-taking moments are experienced beyond what the culture tells you is possible "Obviously, no one will have taught you how to navigate such wonders. No worries. You'll learn fast. You were born for it." If happiness, and based on having read Beck's book, I think more deeply it fits the definition of contentment, if contentment is something you could buy in the store and be promised a life of awe, wonder, peace, would you buy it? What if I told you it was free? I have a feeling some would question it must be too good to be true, but that is our conditioning when it comes to believing in how possible living well is. We have been conditioned to believe happiness can only be pursued, not attained, AND that only so many people are capable of attaining it so we must hurry up and chase it down, ignoring the present and constantly live in the future. But that is errant thinking. The ability to attain contentment for free is possible because it exists within us each already. Our answer resides in each of us. Our true nature, our true selves, has always been with us. We now just need to let it speak. In other words, let ourselves speak honestly, truthfully, and the world begins to change for the better. Not only for each one of us who courageously takes this step, but for all of us, as we begin to see who each of us actually is, how diverse and awesome we actually are and how to think well without unconscious manipulation. 3. A stronger you both physically and emotionally As you begin to step off the wrong path and onto your way of integrity, there will be push-back, but wonderfully, you will be more capable than you might have ever imagined because, "Even if the people around [you] raise merry hell, [you] find yourself coping—more than that, thriving—more easily than [you'd] imagined." 4. A more peaceful you The truth about feeling drained, emotionally exhausted, is not necessarily the environment's fault, but rather that we shouldn't be in that environment. We are needed some place else. Find that place and find your peace. 5. A life of inner harmony True contentment, as shared on TSLL many times previously, is capable of being experienced even during the most difficult of moments and heartbreaking days and events. Why? When you've found and know what inner harmony is, an alignment of your true self - body, mind, heart and soul - you acknowledge and tend to what you have control over and clearly recognize and let go of what you don't. You are living a life of truth in your actions, words and thoughts, and you are strengthened knowing how to navigate forward well, modeling and, when applicable, and you are capable, nurturing those around you forward as well with kindness and compassion. 6. Find your people who 'get' you "If you don't walk your true path, you don't find your true people." Ah, while I have met so many amazing people during my years as a teacher whether the staff and colleagues I have been incredibly fortunate and privileged to work alongside, the many, many parents who's love and tireless efforts to raise children in a world that is ever-changing, and especially the awesome students who through their natural strengths and honed skills, learning from struggles and finding truths along the way, my connection has been professional as I kept, for the most part, my writing life compartmentalized from my teaching life. Once I finally began talking about what I love about blogging, which was only this spring (except to one, maybe two people over the years), a burden on my shoulders was lifted and I felt free. Some don't understand what I am stepping fully into, and consequently, our relationships, even though respectfully collegial, have lessened, but to others, we've had far more honest conversations than we have ever had. And this is just the beginning of a positive shift. "We simply can't chart a course to happiness by linking up with others who are as lost as we are. The path to true love—true anything—is the way of integrity." In order to fully and deeply connect with others, we must be our true selves - no holding back, no editing, no 'hoping they like us'. When we are our true selves, it doesn't matter if everyone ‘gets' us so long as we let ourselves be set free, and that is what draws others of similar understanding and those who can see our honest and raw expression and who appreciate such strength into our lives. These are the people you want to connect with. These are the people with whom healthy, loving relationships grow. 7. Balance Yes, balance is possible (although our culture would have us believe otherwise, believing the skill to master is not balance but rather being constantly thrown from side to side, stressor to next stressor. Don't buy into this myth!). In The Divine Comedy, Virgil writes something that 'stuns Dante. All these 'sins' are actually based in love. Sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust are simply unbalanced relationships with rest, abundance, nourishment and sex. We can err by either compulsively indulging or rigidly repressing our natural relationship with these things. This lack of balance doesn't come when we allow union with our true nature, but when we split ourselves away from it. It's misguided thinking, not natural behavior, that causes us to stray from our innocence." Our innocence is our true selves. Our true self is found and experienced when we step into the way of integrity. Bravely doing so, courageously striding, becoming ever stronger and exhilarated with each step. 8. Fulfill your long-term heart's desires For this last point in today's post/episode, I'll leave you with Beck's words as she reflects on her own life journey and teaches us one of the grandest benefits of finding your own way of integrity, embracing your true self: "As this internal shift occurred, life seemed to deliver more and more of the things I'd longed for during my life. I began to imagine that the universe works like this: whenever we humans long for something, the Powers That Be immediately send it. But everything we've ordered is always delivered to our real home address: peace. This is why we struggle for things in a state of desperation, they don't come to us—nothing works when it's misaligned. But when we return to a state of peace, the things we've 'ordered' can finally reach us." — Martha Beck, The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self (2021) The way of integrity is a path through and with life that makes you excited simply to envision it for a moment during your day. You may breathe a sigh of relief and a smile may even creep upon your face spontaneously each time you dare to think what you imagine could be your real life. I have been so incredibly excited to share today's episode with you because while my last day of teaching doesn't occur for another two weeks, the announcement has been made, the reality has been put into place, and a peace not-yet-known-until-now is already being felt (yes, moments of mourning the known misery creep up, but they are fewer and fewer, and now I know immediately where they stem from and how to navigate respectfully through these feelings). Living simply luxuriously doesn't just happen, and it indeed takes time. When we learn the skills necessary for living a life of true contentment, we can then begin to build what will be unique to each of us. The foundation of a fulfilling, joy-filled life, is to realign yourself with your true self. To conclude with more sagacity from Martha Beck on making our way to integrity, "Not because this path is virtuous, but because it aligns you with reality, with truth. Your life will work for the same reason a well-built plane will fly. Not a reward for good behavior. Just physics." Logical and simultaneously honoring the full humanity of each and every one of us.

“This radiant book will not only change your life,but perhaps even save it.”ELIZABETH GILBERT, #1 New York Times bestselling authorBestselling author, life coach, and sociologist Martha Beck explains why “integrity”—being in harmony with ourselves—is the key to a meaningful and joyful life.As Martha Beck says in her book, “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.”In The Way of Integrity, Martha presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us—people pleasing, worry and anxiety, negative habits—all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.Martha takes us on a spiritual adventure that will change the direction of our lives, and bring us to a place of genuine happiness.Dr. Martha Beck is a bestselling author, life coach, and speaker. She has spent a lifetime offering powerful, practical, and entertaining teachings that help people improve every aspect of their lives. Martha holds three Harvard degrees in social science, and Oprah Winfrey has called her “one of the smartest women I know.” Martha's published works include several self-help books and memoirs, including New York Times and international bestsellers Finding Your Own North Star, The Joy Diet, and Expecting Adam. She has also published over 150 magazine articles, including almost two decades of monthly columns for O, The Oprah Magazine.

As “the best-known life coach in America” (NPR, USA Today), she has spoken to audiences around the world on stage and on The Oprah Show, Good Morning America, and many other television programs.Every year, Martha spends several weeks in South Africa, running wilderness-based seminars and donating the proceeds to ecosystem restoration and education for rural African people.

In this episode, we’re delighted to be interviewing the phenomenal Martha Beck. For those of you who do not know Dr. Martha Beck, she is a New York Times bestselling author, a speaker, and a life coach, with an infectious humor. She holds three Harvard degrees in social science, and Oprah Winfrey once called her the smartest woman she knows.Martha is passionate and engaging, and she is well known for her unique combination of science, humor, and spirituality.Having a son with Downs syndrome caused Martha to really consider what human life was about and set her off on “a lifetime adventure of breaking the rules”.To quote Martha Beck “Emmerson said Beauty is its own excuse for being, and I decided that joy is the felt equivalent and the only real reason to be here”.In her new book, “The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self,” Martha explains why integrity, or being in harmony with ourselves is the key to a meaningful and joyful life, which is what we discuss in today’s episode.Martha perfectly helped us understand integrity beyond a virtue to strive for: “the word Integrity comes from the Latin integer, which means whole or intact, undivided”. We need integrity to function as a whole being. In the same way that an airplane needs to be in structural integrity to fly, we need to be true to ourselves in all situations and with all people to be wholly intact, to be in integrity.Possibly our favorite part is when Martha life coaches Jeni on navigating climate change activism, so make sure to listen out for that!We also talk about how social pressure can be a benevolent problem for entrepreneurs – “it’s forcing us to find ourselves”. We delve into what we can learn about mentorship from the hero’s saga, and how committing to your integrity can be a force for social change. Finally, the vital importance of self-care, which Martha sees as radical action.This is a remarkable interview with a world-renowned sociologist about what you need to do to find your integrity and, with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering, so make sure not to miss this episode!Here’s a peek at what else we discuss: An introduction to Martha Beck, from her formal education to her pursuit of joy. Learn about integrity, which Martha describes as a feeling of being whole or intact. Hear what Martha has to say about overcoming self-doubt, finding your truth, and then walking your talk. The idea of being at odds with culture for the sake of individuality rather than conformity. The different social pressures that men and women experience and how they affect us. Find out how entrepreneurs are affected by conflicting value systems and social pressure. What the hero’s saga has to teach us about change and receiving a mentor. How Martha found her way through conflict when she was pregnant with her son, Adam. Whether or not integrity coincides with happiness; turning suffering into joy. How going into your integrity relates to social activism; activating positive, not righteous anger. Martha emphasizes the idea that self-care in and of itself is radical action. Why self-help should not be about ‘fixing’ yourself but rather about letting the mess that culture has made of your mind fall away.

And she has noticed that “people who just go with their fascination end up creating things that sell well.” According to Martha, “When you are doing something you love in a place you love with the people you love in a way you love, love sells better than hate. So do whatever pulls on you, do it. See what happens.”Know Your NumbersIn our business, we're big fans of financial literacy and accountability.

#034  Today is Wednesday, time for a little wellness boost - a shortened episode to keep your Warrior Vibe high.In Episode 33, I gave an overview of Dr. Martha Beck's new book, The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self. In that book, she explores what happens when we disconnect from our true selves in order to fit in with the expectations of others.It reminded me of the research I did when I wrote The Athena Principles on the impact of hiding what psychologist Carl Jung called the Personal Shadow or the Disowned Self. I'd like to share an exercise from that book that I developed to welcome and embrace our hidden aspects back into our lives.A critical part of self-compassion is fully accepting ourselves, including our light and dark aspects.  In doing so, we can experience enhanced wellness, increased authenticity and a deeper relationship with yourself and others.At the end of the episode, I share a journaling exercise I developed when I wrote The Athena Principles to welcome and embrace our hidden aspects back into our lives.

#033  Dr. Martha Beck is a best-selling author, life coach and speaker.  Last month, Martha's latest book, The Way of Integrity - Finding the Path to Your True Self, was published.  I took long walks and listened to the almost nine-hour audio book over a few days, while reviewing certain passages and exercises in the hardcover version in the evening.Dr. Beck uses the Hero's Journey framework from Dante's Divine Comedy to create a four-stage process for self-realization:  1. Recognizing the Dark Wood, where we get lost; 2. Exploring and understanding the Inferno of self-betrayal; 3. Using integrity as a way through Purgatory; and 4. Arriving in Paradise to live the life we were meant to live in service, alignment, and happiness.I'm still absorbing it all, but I can tell you this – Martha has a gift for naming the things others are feeling.  And most importantly, she provides strategies to help us move forward.I found The Way of Integrity to be a useful roadmap as we wind our way through pandemic and post pandemic life. So much so that I'd like to share some of the main concepts because I think you'd enjoy it as well.Links Mentioned:Martha Beck's WebsiteSpiral of Experience – Christina BaldwinIf you'd like to join our circle and never miss a weekly episode, please hit subscribe.For episode materials, show notes or to submit a question for a future episode, visit:https://athenawellness.com/podcast

Hey all, Welcome back to Meeks Speaks - where I review books in spirituality, psychology and development categories and throw in some personal stories along the way and just generally speak what's on my mind. This episode is inspired by all things integrity - what it means and how can we use integrity to find peace. I was listening to a podcast episode with Martha Beck who wrote the book "The Way of Integrity" and she also said this quote which really resonated with me - "Peace is the home, integrity is the way to it and everything you long for will meet you there". Also thank you to all that got involved with my poll on instagram , you all are my true inspirations.

If there's one thing the Coronavirus lockdown taught me is time is precious. For those of us lucky to be alive, we should be more determined to live life on purpose.
