Are You In Or Out Of Integrity?
Are You In Or Out Of Integrity?
If you relate to the value of integrity, I’m going to write several posts on this topic. Here’s the first.
What does integrity mean?
Integrity is the word we use to describe a state of wholeness (being in harmony with “who” we really are”) and refers to how our personal life system is set up and if it works effortlessly. For some it means keeping promises; being congruent in thoughts, words, and deed.
To be our best, we must be whole: that is, be responsible for our actions and inactions, respond fully to the situations andexperiences being offered to us, honor our bodies and our selves and respect the realities of the physical universe.
One usually starts with questioning right vs. wrong (instead of what is my real truth, my values etc?) There is no universal right vs. wrong, only what is right vs. wrong for each individual, assuming they are who they really are.
The next step is installing a higher degree of personal integrity into their life, which leads a person to a state of wholeness.
Get Adequate Integrity for you
Everyone has a unique degree of integrity required to be themselves.
Since we are all at different distinct points along the path of development, there are distinct integrity requirements at each point that permits us to evolve to the next point. As we continue to grow, the inner need to be in harmony (true to ones’ self) becomes a driving force. When we are out of integrity with ourselves, we feel “ out of sync.” and we can feel that have abandoned our true nature – our spirit.
We can experience this as self-sabotage, pain, anger, judgments, depression….
Integrity is the result of having the following 3 conditions in one’s life:
1. Having no unresolved matters – one is clear of the past and present. That is, they have corrected any wrongs, communicated where needed to clear the air- address conflicts, disturbances, withholding, etc., made personal changes to make life work well and fully handle every task and situation that arises.
2. Alignment and Balance – one’s life is aligned with one’s true values, actions are based on what is true (not a fantasy or delusion) and commitments are congruent with one’s vision or purpose.
3. Responsibility – being responsible for what one creates and attracts (by choices and actions) without blaming, complaining and becoming the victim or the martyr, handling situations that arise and making adjustments to create and attract different results (stop creating the same problems).
Benefits of Restoring Integrity
1. More energy and an effortlessness to achieve the desired results.
2. You will attract nice and more fulfilling people into your life who are reliable, empowering, loving and inspiring, consistently.
3. Restoring integrity is a process that enriches your life. Enjoy it!

One of the first places I work with clients is having a conversation about core values. Most people identify integrity as being a core value for them. It might be one of yours too!
