Doing things you want to do, not because of how you want to look

A constant trap that I am breaking free of

you're freer than you think you are

It is very easy to get in your own head when you want to try something new, or you want to change something in your life. Sometimes the biggest obstacle to doing something is the belief that you aren't allowed to do or be something outside of peoples expectations. Whether its a little thing like getting something different than your usual at a cafe, or something big like changing careers, you need to stop obsessing over invisible rules and expectations and just do it. You're freer than you think you are.

Being uncool

it is so freeing to not have your ear to the ground of what is on trend or hip for the time being, and tbh I have saved myself a lot of time, money, and perhaps sanity for just not leaning into being too plugged in, some tangible examples: - no flimsy impulse purchases, mainly tangible well made things (clothing, electronics, furniture) - reading very little, but just enough news to know what’s going on, avoid entertainment news/snark/discourse machines - do things cause I feel like it (dance, laugh loudly, smile) and enjoy it all, never act like I’m above it all

Express yourself

I know it’s corny but it’s genuinely so freeing to just do what you like. In the last year I started to really embrace my gender identity especially with my physical appearance. Being able to freely dress as you please and express yourself is so incredibly freeing. My confidence has sky rocketed. Being willing to express yourself regardless of societal pressure to appear a strict way. Be out there be bold!!!
