7. Stop Trying To Live Traditionally

You may want a traditional life, and that is fine, but most of us need to get out of the conventional way of living to become a better version of ourselves. In other words, if it doesn 't fit with your authentic self, stop doing what is conventionally 'right '.

Get ready for people to be upset with you, though. Your friends, parents, and peers that are living traditionally will judge you and try to make you feel as though you are not living life in the 'right ' way.

For instance, the decision not to have kids can be very stressful for some people, even if they know that they don 't want kids in this life. People will tell them that they are not normal, contributing to society, or giving them the grandchild, niece, nephew, or godchild that they …show more content…

Cut Certain People Out Of Your Life

Certain people are holding you back from becoming a better you. We are told that we are not supposed to remove people from our lives, but the truth is that doing so may be the only way to get free of their chains and make decisions that are better suited for us.

- Pessimistic people will make your goals seem impossible to reach because they believe that nothing ever works out in this life.

- Low energy people will force you to do nothing towards your goals as you hang around with them because they don 't want to do anything in life.

- Small minded people will beg you to avoid taking risks because their fear is massive when it comes to stepping outside of their comfort zone.

All of these people will affect your choices negatively and lower your energy. If you want to be a better you, your energy needs to be high and in the flow, not low and working against the flow.

9. Keep Things Simple

Don 't overcomplicate your life with too many goals, too many changes, or too many of anything. We often think that we need to approach life in a 'go big or go home ' way, but all that does is muck things up and keep things from working

    Can you imagine yourself being apart of a group or lifestyle, now imagine yourself not fitting in. Maybe some people think you’re weird, but people just like you understand. Many suggest that it’s dangerous while others want to join. Whatever the reason may be you still consider yourself apart of society. As you grow older you realize that many people have different backgrounds and maybe even distinct behaviors. When people feel a deep need for love or respect, values and morals may be forgotten. It’s their customs, rituals, and beliefs that make up their own culture.

  • Joyce Stewart Case Study

    702 Words  | 2 Pages

    When interviewing my grandmother, she automatically told me how different things were back in the day. She mentioned that she was born in a bedroom rather than a hospital setting. She grew up on a farm with her mother and father, and all of her siblings; I think there was eight all together. Her parents did not have electricity growing up, and they did not have indoor plumbing for the longest time. Her parents were religious, but they did not have the time to go to church. Joyce has always been very dedicated Episcopalian, a form of Christianity. She would have to find ways of transportation herself since her parents could not afford to go. It was almost considered a luxury. She actually met her first husband by going to Church every weekend. She would get a ride to church from family friends, and they had a son who was a few years older than she was. My grandmother, Joyce had become pregnant at the young age of sixteen. This actually is not all that surprising, considering her family was very conservative and sheltered her for the majority of her life. Growing up on the farm she was not even allowed to go into the barn when the cows were giving birth to their

  • Minors and Abortion: Parental Consent Must be Mandatory

    897 Words  | 2 Pages

    Talking about abortion brings out an emotional response in many women. This is because having an abortion takes a massive emotional toll on some women. As Nanyjo Mann said, three weeks after having an abortion, “I became preoccupied with the thoughts of death. I fantasized about how I would die. My baby struggled for two hours” (Reardon, 1987, p. xviii). In the forward of the book “Aborted Women, Silent No More” Nanyjo, a women telling her story of abortion, goes on to tell about feeling unstable with herself after having an abortion. She wanted to prove to herself that destroying others didn’t hurt, but it does (Reardon, 1987, p. xix-xx). Continuing in reading Nanyjo’s story, she tells all of the effects and feelings she went through after having an abortion including stress, depression and low self esteem. Any girl under the age of 18 would have an even harder time dealing with this type of stress. Teenagers are already seeking their identity and worry about their grades, looks, and peer acceptance. Going through the post abortion stress all by themselves would be overwhelming and potentially put them at risk for mental breakdown.

  • Taking Risks in Life

    772 Words  | 2 Pages

    Not every event has a guaranteed outcome- sometimes, one has to take a gamble in the game of life. There are some, however, who would prefer to travel within the safe, confined lane of actions with a definite outcome. Deciding whether or not to take risks in life can be tricky, but as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.” This quote means that people should take risks in their endeavors, because life is precisely about trying new things and experiences. As the quote explains, taking risks in life is a vital step to success, fulfillment, and gaining more out of experiences.

  • My Catholic Religious Belief System

    Since I grew up in the Catholic faith, I understand that not everyone has the same religious beliefs that my religion teaches. The way a person is raised, has an impact on their religious beliefs. Your belief system is the actual set of precepts from which you live your daily life, those that govern your thoughts, words, and actions (Woods, 2006). Since, I had religion classes through out my school years I have been taught to accept other people's religious beliefs. Even my parents have taught me to look at a person's culture and beliefs to gain a better understanding of their point of view. With the understanding of others religious beliefs and cultures it has allowed me to deal with others in a fair and equal manner. Even though I have had some difficult time with others I remember how I was raised and it has helped me through those difficult times.

  • What Is My Family Essay

    1324 Words  | 3 Pages

    I am most surprised with the theme of culture; I never put it together that me living in a small town would affect me so immensely. I understand how family affects my life because I learn from my parents but culture is not something I think about being around all the time although it is immersed into my everyday life without me knowing. My individual agency plays a role in the social constructions I have chosen. In my family I listen to my parents but also my individual agency has forced me to rebel against them and be myself sometimes. Although I am a quiet person and that reflects my culture when I get to know people I become open and act my true self. Although I enjoy small groups and being close to people I also enjoy meeting new people and I think if I were raised in a city I would love living there as well. I like going to the city and shopping and I dislike how there is nothing to do in the small town I live in. I will continue to think deeply and relate my actions to the social constructed that I have came to understand throughout this analysis. Since I am average and my social position in society is normal I will continue to respect other social positions. I will also influence others to grow and create themselves however they want without relying others. I am involved with Big Brother and Big Sister and I am excited to help mediate children
