Overcome five silent obstacles to be yourself

Mónica Muñoz explains in an article for Aleteia that individuals must identify internal and external barriers to recover authenticity. She states that being faithful to oneself is a necessity for mental health and personal coherence rather than an act of selfishness.

Muñoz suggests that practicing fidelity to oneself allows a person to better practice fidelity to God and others. This process involves trusting one's own judgment, working at one's own pace, and respecting oneself despite the criticism of others.
