IS YOUR LIFE REALLY YOURS?

Writer: GIGIGIGI

LET ME EXPLAIN.


In a world that often tries to mold us into cookie-cutter replicas of societal norms, it's crucial to break free from the shackles of external validation.

 

We must dare to dance to our own rhythm, paint our lives with vibrant hues, and compose a symphony that resonates with the core of who we truly are.

 

The realisation that our life is truly ours when we focus on our own opinions rather than seeking validation from others is so powerful and life changing.

 

It's easy to fall into the trap of constantly seeking approval and validation from others, I have been there and I am sure many others can relate.

We often find ourselves caught up in the whirlwind of social media, where the number of likes and comments on our posts can dictate our self-worth.

 

However, it's essential to remember that true fulfillment and happiness come from within.

 

When we shift our focus from external validation to self-validation, we free ourselves from the constraints of others' opinions.

We begin to live life on our own terms, embracing our unique perspectives, passions, and dreams. This newfound sense of freedom allows us to explore new possibilities, take risks, and grow in ways we never thought possible.

 

But how can we start prioritizing our own opinions and beliefs?

Here are a few suggestions that might help:

 

1. Self-Reflection:

Take the time to reflect on your values, aspirations, and what truly matters to you. By understanding yourself better, you can develop a stronger sense of self and stand firm in your own convictions.

 

2. Surround Yourself with Supportive People:

Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and inspire you. Seek out friends, mentors, and colleagues who appreciate and respect your unique voice and perspective.

 

3. Embrace Authenticity: 

Be true to yourself and embrace your authentic self. Remember that there is beauty in your individuality, and your opinions and ideas are valuable.

 

4. Practice Self-Compassion: 

Be kind and compassionate towards yourself. Acknowledge that you are human and that making mistakes is a part of the journey. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a close friend.

 

5. Celebrate Small Victories: 

Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. Every step taken towards living life on your own terms is a victory worth celebrating.

 

Wishing you a month filled with self-discovery, growth, and the joy of living life on your own terms :)

 

With light and gratitude,
