How many times have people given you advice? How many people have told you to just be yourself? Have you ever felt anxious, scared, or different from others?
At some point in your life, someone told you to be yourself, and it probably made you feel uneasy about yourself or the environment you were in. Don't try to be someone that you aren't. When you look in the mirror, make sure you like the person looking back at you. People may see you differently than you see yourself. You will never see yourself the way others see you. Our brain immediately makes snap judgments about whether or not if you can trust a person or not.
Accept yourself for what you like and for what you dislike. Magnify your strengths in life. Knowing what you want to accomplish in life and being able to share that information with others is so important. Every decision you make in life communicates to others, who you are and what you believe.
With social media's prevalence, we are constantly connected. Be authentic; it can draw people into your life because you are being yourself. The things you say and do are symbols of who you are.
Value your individuality. When you aren't being yourself, you could draw people in your life that don't actually care about you as a person. You may think you can trust them or have similar interests, but maybe they aren't healthy for your life.
Be with people that make you happy. Be happy with yourself. Be good at being you.
