Love Being Yourself
How to Express Yourself Through Your Hobbies
Love being yourself, you are so unique and beautiful, you really have no idea how true this is. One of the ways you can express that beauty may be through hobbies.
Hobbies may be beneficial especially if they are in any way an expression of who you are. For example, painting, sculpting and writing, may lead you to some inner insights about who you really are.
Try to remember what interests you had as a child and do some of that stuff now. Sometimes who we truly are is all wrapped up in our childhood. Therefore, we need to visit ourselves in those days gone by to get a glimpse of that person who we have long forgotten.
I used to love sewing and knitting and I still love to do these things today. I loved to create things when I was just a little girl. My mom would give me a needle and thread and/or yarn and needles, and I would create for my doll or for myself. My grandmother, my mother and some of my aunts were talented sewers and knitters. I guess it was in my blood.
I still feel a sense of fulfillment when I complete a project either for myself or someone else.
So perhaps you can recall the things you enjoyed when you were a kid, and pick it up again. Perhaps you will find a gifted painter, musician, song writer, whatever is buried inside. Give it a shot, see what is hidden there. Enjoy, and love being yourself.
Love Being Yourself Through new Interests
Love being yourself through new interests, it’s something you can look into. Do you have a desire to be a great cook, a musician, a painter, or a dancer? Give yourself permission to take the time to learn some of these things. You only live once (as far as I know) so make the time to do some exploring. You don’t have to do all of the things you’ve always wanted to do, but some of it and some new stuff maybe.
I’ve always wanted to write but never believed I had anything important to say. Now that I took a chance and started a blog, I feel fulfillment. It may not be a best selling book, but it’s a beginning. People are interested enough in coming back every day to read what I have to say. Therefore it is fulfilling a need in me, a need to help others to love themselves and to enjoy life. I am being myself in these pages and learning about me every time I add a new blog.
I have also taught myself to paint. I love my work and people are surprised to see what I have accomplished doing. This me, my personality and love of nature on canvas. It fulfills a part of me I never knew needed to be set free. I do this for myself and I truly enjoy it. I am being myself and loving it.
Finding out who you are is an Amazing Experience
Finding out who you are is an amazing experience, not always easy, but always worthwhile. Once you begin to know who you are doors tend to open up for you because you now know what you want. You can revel in enjoying being the person you love to be.
Getting to know myself was a long journey, it seems to have taken for ever. However, once I started to write things down and started being completely honest with myself it got easier. Then I eventually started to let others in on who I am.
It was tough sometimes to look at the things I wasn’t too proud of. Some things I couldn’t look at at all because they were too painful, however, the time came when it was ok to visit those places. Once I learned why I did the things I did, it was much easier to stop the behavior.
One of the things I learned that I truly hated about myself (among a whole lot of other stuff) was that I cried too easily. Part of it was a family pattern, part of it was because I carried it from childhood, and it was time to let go of it. I am still sensitive at times, still cry when I see a sad movie, and when other sad things happen. However, now I am in control and cry at appropriate times and often in private.
I am so much happier with myself now, it is incredible how this one little thing has changed me into a person I respect a whole lot more, and this is just the beginning.
Don’t be afraid to get to know that hidden gem that is buried deep inside. And learn to love being yourself.
