8 Reasons Why You Should Be The True You

Heyyy, its me again—your favorite storyteller! It’s all about self-discovery which is one of the best feelings in life. Your parents want you to be a doctor, teacher or some other profession and that’s great….but is that what you really want? Maybe not, but you go along with what your parents want or what others want just to please them—and plus you have bills to pay. However, deep down you’re unhappy. Let me tell you something about happiness: It cannot exist if you don’t live your truth. But of course, living in your truth does not come easy. It’s a process that takes time to manifest—-and sometimes a veryyyy long time. Not everyone wants the same things in life and that is ok. But until YOU figure out what that is, is when things begin to fall into place. It’s like an AHA moment and then you begin to go after the things in life that you always wanted to do.

Everyday is a chance to become a better version of yourself, not what everyone else wants you to be. Below here are 8 reasons why you should be the true you:

1) You won’t act fake or feel fake- trying to behave in a manner that is not yourself is exhausting and painful. It’s like walking around in extremely tight jeans that are squeezing your waist and hoping they will loosen up.

2) You will sleep comfortable at night- when you are honest with yourself—you tend to be honest with others and as a result, you sleep well at night. Your conscience is at peace.

3) You will be free and be open to take more chances- when you hear music, you will dance no matter where you are. Life should be all about taking more “risks” not “what ifs”.

4) You won’t be afraid to be alone- I am sure quarantine had a lot of people spending time self-reflecting on themselves. If you really want to be the best version of yourself, try spending time alone. This is when you will learn so much about YOU. It might be scary or it might be rejuvenating. So go for a walk in the park, or meditate.

5) You can become the best YOU- it must be very pretentious trying to be what you aren’t. I see a lot of people code switch depending on who they are around. It’s like walking around with an invisible mask on, thinking that people don’t notice it. When the exterior doesn’t match the interior that can be a bit confusing. So establish your own sense of identity and own it.

6) You establish boundaries with people- when you aren’t being your true self, people will walk over you. Being you true self allows the ability to set limits and clear boundaries with others. Plus, you will be able to see when people are trying to bullshit you. And, this is very important so that you don’t allow others to take advantage of you.

7) You are more focused- have you seen people who are always imitating others? They are all over the place and have no clear goals. They go where the wind blows. Now when you are being yourself, there is a sense of direction that you have. You know what goals you have in life and what you need to accomplish.

8) You establish your own identity- no matter what happens in life, you know who you are, because you establish your own sense of identity. No matter how lost or distracted you become—you will get right back on track.
