Be Yourself And Be Happy By Staying True To Your Values ​​

“I have not changed. There came a point in my life where I had to let people know what they deserved to hear.” If you ever feel the same need during your life, you don’t have to feel guilty about this at all. Setting priorities is a fundamental way to find balance and be happy. Be yourself and be happy.

Due to our urge to please everyone, we often lack the courage to break certain bonds that don’t enrich our lives. Instead, they just do damage.

According to a study conducted by the University of Claremont, acting on your own values ​​and the ability to trust those around you can help increase oxytocin levels in your brain and thus create greater happiness.

In the end, it’s all about acting on our gut feeling and staying true to our own values.  “I have not changed. If I say I don’t want to do this favor for you, it’s because it goes against my principles.”

We invite you to think about this for a moment today.

I haven’t changed, I stay true to my values

The key to happiness is not accumulating material wealth or having many friends. Happiness is not about gathering as many people as possible in your life, like someone who strives to get hundreds of likes on his/her photo or post on his/her social media page.

It involves maintaining relationships with people who are worthy of having a place in your life.  People who always let you be yourself without having to do or say things you don’t really support. In reality, we know that this is not always so easy to find.

Be yourself and be happy

We live in a society driven by appearances and the need to ‘please everyone’

However, never forget: the people who always want to be liked by everyone and always want to please everyone often become unhappy themselves. Be yourself…

• We all go through times when we need more recognition. As adolescents, we often want our peers to accept us so that we can be part of a group. As adults, many of us are still looking for acceptance. For example, we want to want to be loved in a romantic relationship.

• The people who strive for others to love them often forget to love themselves first.
• It is already enough to keep the balance from day to day. You don’t have to put all kinds of restrictions on yourself right away. It’s about knowing how to go through life with respect for others as well as yourself.
• If you always feel the need to pretend to be different from what you really are, then it may be time to change your environment. Maintaining these types of situations for a longer period of time can lead to an identity crisis and a loss of self-confidence.

I won’t let anyone change me, I like myself the way I am

It has taken a lot of effort to get to the point where you are now, a lot of surrender and also pleasant discoveries. Our personalities are partly genetically determined. However, most of it is determined by our experiences and our attitude towards these experiences.

Life is a long road where we gather together our value system, our beliefs and our attitudes. We should not give up these aspects for anything or anyone; this would mean that we are no longer ourselves. So, be yourself and be happy.

• Perhaps you entered into a relationship with someone that you later felt is not working and that you are not happy. Chances are, in this case, that other person is telling you that you have changed and that you are no longer interested in the same things as before.

• Don’t let yourself be influenced by these kinds of comments. No one suddenly changes overnight. Rather, others have never really bothered to really get to know you.

Be yourself and stay true to your own values

The most important thing is to maintain your confidence and stay true to your own values. When you are in a relationship, or living with others, you are often forced to compromise on certain things. However, these should be compromises where everyone wins and no one loses.

• To be someone’s partner, mother, son, brother or friend, you have to learn to listen and create reciprocity.

• You don’t always have to agree on everything, you don’t have to have the same hobbies, like the same things and dream about the same things. What is essential is to have the same values.
• Never change any aspect of your personality or interests to please others. Or to prevent them from being disappointed. Constantly meeting everyone’s expectations is a personal dissonance that only brings bad luck.

Remember that to avoid giving in to the desires of others all the time or letting others control your life completely, it’s important to know who you are.

Always keep in mind your own limits and how far you can go without jeopardizing your self-esteem. It is worth remembering this.
