Day 115: Embracing Your Authenticity
The Physics of Being Real: Energy Is Never Lost
According to the law of conservation of energy, nothing is ever truly lost; energy only changes forms. A wave crashing into shore becomes sound, mist, warmth, motion. A childhood fear becomes caution. A suppressed dream becomes anxiety. An authentic impulse, when ignored, doesn’t disappear; it transforms.
The same physics that governs galaxies also lives in you.
Every part of you that you’ve hidden, edited, quieted, or contorted for the sake of belonging; those are not gone. They are transformed expressions of energy. And sometimes, they come back as friction, dissonance, or exhaustion.
So what if the invitation today is to stop resisting the truth of who you are, and instead let that energy take its intended shape?
Authenticity as Energy Alignment
You are born as a specific frequency: a unique signal of preferences, quirks, creativity, compassion, humor, pace, and rhythm. When you live aligned to that frequency, life tends to feel clearer. You stop wasting energy pretending.
This idea mirrors Newton’s First Law of Motion: a body in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force. Your authenticity moves freely just like a rolling ball keeps going until it’s obstructed by pressure to conform. That external pressure is what creates resistance.
But authenticity is self-sustaining. When we abandon it (often to fit in, survive, or be accepted), that energy doesn’t disappear. It becomes pressure. It accumulates. Until we feel burned out, bitter, or lost.
Authenticity is not performance; it’s permission. Permission to let your internal energy take its natural shape in the world. To stop converting your life force into something it was never meant to fuel.
Systems of Congruence and the Cost of Suppression
In physics, systems work best when energy flows with minimal resistance. Human systems are no different. When you live in alignment with what you feel, believe, and value, your life operates with greater ease and less internal drag.
This is where the Second Law of Thermodynamics offers insight: in isolated systems, entropy (or disorder) increases. Suppressing your truth is like sealing steam in a container; pressure builds, and so does the potential for disarray. The longer you hide, the more mental and emotional clutter accumulates.
Causality tells us that effects follow causes. If your energy feels scattered, flat, or heavy, look to the cause. Think of seeing smoke and knowing there’s a fire; you don’t blame the smoke. You trace it to its source. In the same way, emotional exhaustion is often the result of long-term misalignment.
And then there’s Noether’s Theorem, which reveals that conservation laws emerge from symmetry. In your life, symmetry isn’t about perfect balance; it’s about coherence. When what’s inside you matches what you live on the outside, your emotional energy isn’t wasted. You conserve what matters. It’s like playing a song in perfect harmony when the melody and rhythm match, the music feels whole.
This doesn’t mean every truth needs to be broadcast. Sometimes authenticity is silent. It’s steady. It’s how you choose, relate, and breathe in your own skin.
Authenticity isn’t volume; it’s alignment.
Today, Ask Yourself:
Where am I spending energy performing instead of expressing?
What part of me is asking to be reclaimed?
If I trusted that no truth can be lost, only redirected, what would I allow back in?
You are not here to be efficient at being someone else. You are here to embody the unrepeatable equation that is your truth.
