Hey, do you find yourself pretending to be someone you’re not? In this video, I’m going to show you how to be yourself in any situation and stop worrying about what other people think.

Look, I know that sometimes we all feel the pressure to act a certain way around other people. But what if there was a better way? A way where you could just relax and be yourself without feeling like you have to put on a performance. Well, i’m going to share with you some tried and true strategies to help you do that. 

Ready to leave the shallow side and get in the deep end? Good! Because shit is about to get real!

1. Don’t take yourself too seriously

No one likes a stick in the mud. No matter how old you are, it’s important to enjoy life and not take yourself too seriously. It’s okay to laugh at yourself. In fact, it’s often the best Medicine. If you can laugh at your mistakes, you’re less likely to dwell on them and more likely to learn from them.

Make time for fun activities that don’t have any serious purpose or goal. Sometimes, the best way to relax is to do something just because it’s enjoyable, whether it’s playing video games, going for a walk in nature, or binge watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. To each their own!

2. Be yourself, quirks and all 

Being yourself sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? Just be yourself and people will like you for who you are, right? Well, it’s not always that simple. We all have quirks and aspects of our personality that make us unique and sometimes it can be hard to know how to embrace those parts of ourselves. Here are a few tips on how to be yourself, quirks and all.

First, don’t try to hide your quirks. Embrace them! Quirks are what make us special and interesting. If you’re shy, don’t try to act like someone who’s outgoing. If you’re clumsy, don’t try to act like someone who’s graceful. Just be yourself and people will appreciate your authenticity.

Second, don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through. We all have different interests and hobbies that make us who we are. If you’re passionate about something, don’t be afraid to share it with others. People will respect you for being genuine and enthusiastic about the things you love.

Finally, remember that everyone is different and that’s what makes life interesting. Just because you don’t fit in with one group of people doesn’t mean you’re not meant to find your place in the world. Be confident in who you are and eventually you’ll find others who appreciate you for exactly the same reasons that make you different from everyone else.

3. Embrace your weirdness 

Being weird is like having a superpower. It’s a secret weapon that you can pull out at any moment to make people laugh, feel included, or just feel generally good about themselves. And the best part is, it’s something that we all have! Embracing your weirdness is simply a matter of recognizing the quirks and foibles that make you unique and using them to your advantage. Here are a few tips to get you started:

– Don’t be afraid to stand out. The world is full of conformity and sameness. Embracing your weirdness will help you stand out from the crowd in a positive way.

– Use your weirdness to build relationships. We all have things in common with other people, but it’s our differences that can help us connect on a deeper level. When you share your weirdness with others, you’re giving them a chance to see into your unique world.

– Be yourself! This one might seem obvious, but it’s worth repeating. The most important thing is to just be yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re weird or not, as long as you’re comfortable in your own skin.

4. Be honest with others and yourself 

Honesty is always the best policy, right? But sometimes it’s not that simple. You might find yourself in a situation where you need to choose between being honest or sparing someone’s feelings. Other times, you might not even be sure if you’re being honest with yourself. How can you tell when it’s time to be honest? Here are a few guidelines to help you make the right decision. First, ask yourself whether the truth will actually help the situation. If you’re simply trying to avoid an awkward conversation, chances are that honesty is not the best solution. Second, consider how the other person will react to the truth. If you think they’ll be hurt or offended, it might be better to hold your tongue. Finally, ask yourself whether you’re being completely honest with yourself. If you’re not sure, it might be worth taking some time to reflect on your own motives before proceeding. With these guidelines in mind, you should be able to navigate any situation with honesty and integrity.

5. Stop comparing yourself to others 

You know you’re doing it, we all do it. You compare yourself to others and it’s the worst thing you can do. Why? Because when you compare yourself to others, you’re never going to be good enough. You’re always going to find someone who is better than you at something, and that’s just going to make you feel bad about yourself. So how do you stop comparing yourself to others? The first step is to recognize that everyone is different and has different strengths and weaknesses. 

Everyone has their own unique talents and abilities, so there’s no point in comparing yourself to someone else. Instead, focus on your own strengths and what makes you special. The second step is to focus on your own journey, not someone else’s. Comparison is only harmful if you’re not happy with where you are in life. If you’re happy and content with your life, then there’s no need to compare yourself to anyone else. So focus on your own journey and what YOU want to achieve. Lastly, don’t let comparison steal your joy. When you start comparing yourself to others, it can quickly kill any joy or happiness you’re feeling. 

So instead of letting comparison steal your joy, focus on things that make YOU happy. Find things in your life that bring YOU joy and focus on those instead. Comparison is never helpful or productive, so don’t waste your time on it. Focus on YOU and what makes YOU happy.

6. Know your strengths and weaknesses and own them 

No two people are alike. We all have our own unique combination of strengths and weaknesses that makes us who we are. And while it’s important to celebrate our strengths, it’s just as important to accept our weaknesses. After all, it’s only by owning our weaknesses that we can hope to overcome them.

One way to get a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses is to ask those who know you best. Talk to your family and friends, and ask them to share their honest feedback. You may also want to consider taking a personality test or doing some personal reflection. Once you have a better sense of your strengths and weaknesses, take some time to accept them. This doesn’t mean you have to like your weaknesses, but it does mean acknowledging them and knowing that they are part of who you are. Finally, don’t be afraid to use your strengths and weaknesses to your advantage. Use your strengths to help you achieve your goals, and use your knowledge of your weaknesses to make sure you don’t set yourself up for failure. By understanding and accepting your strengths and weaknesses, you can learn to use them both to your benefit.

7. Take time for you, without feeling guilty

You know the feeling. You’ve been going nonstop all day long, taking care of everyone and everything else but yourself. By the time you finally sit down, you’re so exhausted you can barely keep your eyes open. But even though you’re physically and mentally drained, you still can’t turn off your brain. You start thinking about all the things you still have to do tomorrow and the next day and the next. Suddenly, taking even a few minutes for yourself feels like luxury you can’t afford. But here’s the thing: If you don’t make time for yourself, you’re going to burn out. And when you’re burned out, you’re not going to be able to take care of anyone or anything else. So how do you take time for yourself without feeling guilty? Here are a few tips:

1. Set aside some time each day for yourself, even if it’s just 10 or 15 minutes. During this time, do something that makes you happy and relaxed. This could be reading, taking a bubble bath, listening to music, or taking a walk outdoors.

2. Make sure your schedule includes some “me” time on a regular basis. Whether it’s once a week or once a month, put it in writing so you can’t make excuses not to do it.

3. Give yourself permission to say no. You don’t have to say yes to every request or demand made on your time. Learning to say no will help you create more time for yourself.

4. Let go of perfectionism. Trying to do everything perfectly is impossible and just sets you up for disappointment. Accept that there will be some messiness in life and that’s okay.

5 . Communicate your needs to others in your life . If they don’t know that you need some time for yourself, they won’t be able to support you in getting it . Explain that taking some time for yourself doesn’t mean that you don’t love or care about them , it just means that you need some time to recharge .

Making time for yourself can be tough , but it’s essential if you want to avoid burning out . By following these tips , you can learn to take care of yourself without feeling guilty.

So, the next time you’re in a situation where you feel like you need to be someone else, just remember – it’s okay to be yourself. And if being yourself still doesn’t work, well then maybe try being a llama. It can’t hurt, right?
