Be Yourself

 


  If you remember probably the teacher told you when you were in primary school "Just be yourself, Sweetheart." Your reaction can be a much happier person once you figure out who you truly are. But when you get older, being yourself can feel risky. If you are showing your true self, some people may indeed treat you differently, and that's a risk. But if you have to hide who you really are to be around these people, you can end up feeling lost, lonely, or even feel shame.

  Being yourself is about letting drive your self-expression, to learn how to accept yourself, so you can truly be who you are. In other words, it's about how you show others how unique you are. Every person has their own unique ability to show and give a more positive outlook about themselves. Here are some of how to be yourself.

  Accept yourself. Nowadays, social media can feel unattractive. Famous models and actors are attractive which is an important part of the job, but now our friends on social media have photoshopped or camera filters their pictures to perfection, which often makes you feel unattractive. It shows that the more social media we consume with attractive people, the worse we feel about ourselves. However, social media is social media where the place people can express themselves. Take a break from social media, then put more attention to other things that will validate yourself such as listening to inspirational podcasts.

  Show your own vulnerability. Most of us don't really want to show the parts that we don't like. The parts that make us feel ashamed, angry, or weak. If you are wondering try to find out how can be yourself, the answer is a simple step into your pain and face your fears head-on. Be open and honest with your partners and loved ones. Tell them how you really feel and share your personal stories.

  Express yourself. Record what you did well each day and what you enjoyed. Express yourself through art, writing, music, dance, or gardening. Expressing yourself can help you determine what you enjoy, how your experiences affect you, and how to start being yourself. In fact, it can help make relationships a bit easier and more enjoyable. 

  Being yourself is how to show who we are to society. There is no comparison between good and bad, it's about how unique you are in your own self. The world can be bitter if everyone has only one unique personality than many. Thank you for today and hopefully, you've learned something new today. Cheer up and have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
