How To Be Your Most Authentic Self

So…how do you be you? 

We promise this isn’t a riddle, but it’s a real question. How do you approach the world and be your most authentic self without pretending or over-masking? This could be a whole series (let us know if you want to see it!!) but for now I have a couple of suggestions.

1. Understand that you’re not for everyone

   a. This is going to be tough to hear, but you should really get this: Not everyone is going to like you. You want to know the good thing, though? That’s ok! No one person is going to be loved by all; you just need to focus on being the best person that you can be. The right person will come along, you just need to be focused on being the best version of yourself when they do. 

2. Try

a. We always hear the clichés about showing up and suiting up for the game, and sometimes the clichés stay around because they’re true. The best way to get to know yourself is to keep trying. Does that mean you have to say yes to everything everyday, absolutely not. But how about this: Set a goal for yourself that you can achieve, let’s say 4 times a year you try something new like a new book, move or videogame? 

When you learn more about what you like and dislike, that’s how you become your most true self. 

Becoming comfortable with yourself is going to be about learning about yourself, what you like, and what you dislike. That way, when you meet your person on Uneepi you’ll be the best version of yourself possible.
