Living congruently means that you are living in a way that reflects your values. Your relationships are healthy because you believe healthy relationships are important. You speak your truth. Your actions parallel your words. You feel good about yourself and your life. The opposite is living incongruently which feels bad because there is an internal conflict between what you believe and what you are doing, saying, and tolerating. Dysfunctional relationships feel incongruent because they conflict with what you know is right. Watch this video to learn about living congruently. #livingcongruently #dysfunctionalrelationship #healthyrelationships
