A seconds-scale daily micro-practice for Integrity and Authenticity (VCoL collection): During interactions, briefly check: "Does my body match my words? Does my tone match my message?" If you notice incongruence, either adjust your words to be more honest or let your body relax into your message. Practised many times a day, with a brief evening reflection, until the move becomes automatic.
