What is Self-Integrity?

Self-integrity is the inner sense that your actions match your values and who you believe you are. It is feeling “in one piece” inside, instead of feeling like you are pretending or betraying yourself.

What self-integrity means

Self-integrity is being honest with yourself and trying to live in line with what you truly think is right and important. It is not about being perfect, but about doing your best to act in ways you can respect when you look in the mirror later.

How self-integrity shows up

Self-integrity shows up when someone keeps promises to themselves, tells the truth even when it’s awkward, or says “no” to something that feels wrong for them. When self-integrity is strong, there is more inner peace and self-respect; when it is weak, people often feel fake, guilty, or “out of alignment” with themselves.
