Finding your identity can be a difficult task, especially in a world that is constantly changing.
Our life since adolescence has been a struggle of fitting into the changing world and its changing trends. Honor yourself and your personal growth by walking away from things that no longer serve you. Here are a few things to consider if you wish to be comfortable with your identity and have it presented in front of others in an unapologetic manner.
5 Ways to find your Identity
1. Listen to your minds needs:understand that what people in your circles follow collectively, may not be the best way to unwind for you. If they wish to go to a movie over the weekend, and if your heart says that you feel more comfort indoors, then try to do what would nourish you individually.
2.Listen to the needs of your body:try to understand your eating patterns, get in tune with your hunger and nutritional requirements. Eat when you get hungry, try to not follow fad diets that masses are following. Try to not hold back eating due to the fear or putting on weight. Exercise each day to have a healthier body, but only indulge in exercise that makes you feel fresh later and not overly exhausted.
3.Stop focusing on your past: Take a step back and breathe. Don’t forget the framework of your behavior and remember to place them in the past. Your previous decisions and behavior, although impactful, do not define who you are, much less who you will evolve into as you grow into a fuller person. It’s unhealthy to keep distressing yourself for things that you did in the past. Participate in the art of letting go and moving on.
4.Avoid comparing yourself:As you try to understand who you are as an individual, it will be appealing to compare yourself to others. We are surrounded by more beautiful and more successful version of ourselves and those alone can knock down our self-confidence and send us circling into mimicry. However, doing this will only suppress your growth and prevent you from discovering your true self.

Experience life in all potential ways good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light or summer-winter. Don’t be afraid because the more experience you have, the more mature you get. The best way to be yourself is to figure out what makes you unique and embrace it. Don’t try to be like everyone else, because you’ll just end up unhappy. Instead, focus on being the best version of yourself that you can be.
