congruence



"When our thoughts and choices 
are congruent 
with our authentic needs, 
our bodies hold their natural shape 
and beauty 
and we express that to the world. 
When our thoughts and deeds 
are incongruent 
with our dream (or soul path), 
or our authentic needs, 
we express the incoherence
 in our bodies."
Congruence: Carl Rogers stated that the personality is like a triangle made up of the real self, the perceived self, and ideal self. According to Rogers, when there is a good fit between all three components, the person has congruence. This is a healthy state of being and helps people continue to progress toward self-actualization.
