❤️ Be Authentic: How to stay true to yourself ❤️

in #love7 years ago (edited)

Being your authentic and true self can help you lead a happy and fulfilled life. There are so many things in life that may make us feel like we need to hide who we are or be ashamed of the “real me.” Here are a couple of thoughts I wanted to share about this topic. Feel free to leave comments to add to the list.

#1. Don’t be afraid to admit your flaws
There is no such thing as perfect, and striving to be perfect will only bring you misery and stress. Instead, embrace your imperfections and quirks, they are what makes you so unique and special. Be proud of being different.

#2. Accept that not everyone will like you
In my article about “How to stop being a people pleaser” I talk about how you need to stop focusing on what other people want, but rather what you want. The minute you stop caring about what other people think about, you will be free of other people’s judgement about you.

#3. Respect your boundaries
Having the courage to put your foot down or take a stance for what you believe in, is staying true to yourself. If society or your family tells you that you should live your life one way, but you don’t want to, don’t!

Great message to spread! I really don't think life started until I started being true to myself.

yes because now you are living for you, and no one else! :)

Very good words of wisdom I try to be nice to everyone so I am always caught off guard whens someone dislikes me and seem to think way to hard as to why.

aww yea. It's hard, not everyone will always like you, but that's okay! There are so many people out there that will!

It´s wonderful your post, I´ve liked the first photography.

aww thank you! :)

Thank you sweet!

Great post!

Wish more people stayed true to their authentic self. Most people are too worried about what others think to really express themselves.

Thanks for sharing much love!

np. Glad you enjoyed the read! Cheers to being your true self! :)

Took me a long time to accept that not everyone would like me. When I learned to handle indifference and even rejection from a few people here and there, I gained serenity and a healthier perspective on life.

After all, I can't like everybody. . .so why should they all like me?

Solid stuff, thanks!

hahah yes! Exactly. We all love and like different people. Nothing wrong with that!

True we must live the way we want to,we shouldn't bother who says what.

couldn't agree more! :)

Great and uplifting. It is easy to say what we should do, it is less easy to be constantly aware of it and actually do them :-) So the base is cultivating awareness and the rest will come automatically, much love.

aww yes. Self awareness is the only way we can grow! Thanks for stopping by :)
