<\/p>\nDo you know who you are? Yes, you know your name, age, and many other aspects. But do you know your inner identity?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Knowing who you are and where you\u2019re from is one aspect, but understanding your identity apart from anyone else can be difficult. You may not realize this, but everyone you meet can leave impressions that, if you\u2019re not careful, could modify certain parts of your basic character. Later, you may hold onto these bits and pieces of influence and let them become a part of you. When this occurs, you aren\u2019t necessarily being true to yourself.<\/p>\n
How do you know who you really are? How can you tell if you really like the color red? You know, it\u2019s possible that you\u2019ve adapted someone else\u2019s preference as your own without even know this. How can you tell if you\u2019re being true the real you? Well, there are a couple of ways.<\/p>\n
The first indication is obvious. When you\u2019re not being true to yourself, you\u2019re being true to someone else\u2019s goals, dreams, and desires. You\u2019ve adapted the role that a parent outlined for you, or you\u2019re doing the social actions your spouse wants you to do, although you secretly detest those aspects.<\/p>\n
Either way, the blueprint you\u2019re following is not the one you created for yourself, and it doesn\u2019t feel natural. Maybe you never really noticed that their ideas weren\u2019t your own. You\u2019re a copy of someone else or even of multiple people.<\/p>\n
Are you trying to make all people happy all the time? If so, then you\u2019re what\u2019s called a \u2018people pleaser<\/em>\u2019. And honestly, it\u2019s impossible to please everybody all the time like this. You will wear yourself down and damage your health pursueing to get approval from everyone.<\/p>\n One thing is for certain, you\u2019re not being your true self, the one who has dreams. These dreams are not being fulfilled because you\u2019re too busy saying yes and not learning how to say no. Being this way leads to a dead-end eventually and turns you into a shell of a person.<\/p>\n You\u2019re not being true to yourself if you are constantly worrying about what others say or think about you. Yes, to some degree, we should represent ourselves well, but not as far as sacrificing our basic beliefs or standards. There comes a time when is necessary that we ignore what other people think altogether and follow our dreams.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re being pulled in all directions and taking on too much work at one time, you\u2019re not taking care of yourself. And there\u2019s a reason many of us take on all those responsibilities. We aim to display strength in quantity, not quality. To others, we may seem like powerhouses, but we are secretly stressed from too much pressure. To be true to ourselves, is necessary that we pick and choose carefully the projects we work on and decide which ones aren\u2019t worth our time.<\/p>\n One major sign that you\u2019re not being true to who you really are is that you\u2019re always hanging around people who aren\u2019t good for you. These are toxic people who drain your life energy and help mold you into a form of themselves. This is the other side of living someone else\u2019s life. If you are surrounded by the wrong people, there is a much higher chance of losing yourself and blending into the crowd.<\/p>\n Do you really know who you are? Listen, if you\u2019re living someone else\u2019s life and supporting them all the time, you are nothing more than someone\u2019s fan club. <\/p>\n yogaesoteric \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you know who you are?
