Don't Be A Headless Chicken By Losing Your Identity

With many things happening in our life, our SENSE OF SELF refers to our perception of the collection of our characteristics that define us.  Our personality traits, abilities, likes and dislikes our belief system and morals, and the things that motivate us, these all do contribute to our self-image, our unique identity as a person.  And people WHO can easily describe these aspects of their identity typically have a fairly strong sense of WHO they are.  Thing is,  Don't Be A Headless Chicken By Losing Your Identity📗📙📘

Studies showed that people WHO can easily describe their aspects of their identity typically have a fairly strong sense of WHO you are.  IF EVER at some point we seem to be struggling to name more than a few of our characteristics might point to a less defined SENSE OF SELF.  It's true that we DON'T spend so much time consciously thinking about our own identity BUT it still affects our life though.  Knowing WHO we are allows us to live with purpose and develop the satisfying relationships we deserve, WHICH, at the end of the day psychologists claim will contribute to an overall good emotional health.  So, you might pester me, WHY is it so important to keep our identity, our SENSE OF SELF💥💥💥

And this brings us as to what living authentically is all about.  Having a well-developed SENSE OF SELF will be hugely beneficial in helping us make our choices in life.  It could be as trivial as your favorite foods to even those larger concerns like your personal values, knowing WHAT comes from our own self versus WHAT comes from others would make things easier for us to accept our own SENSE OF SELF💚💗💛

On the other hand, for the sake of our discussion, let's assume lack a clearly defined SENSE OF SELF.  Even on the surface, it will lead us to situations wherein it makes it tough to know exactly WHAT you want.  And if you feel uncertain OR indecisive WHEN it comes time to make important choices, WHAT is quite scary is if you may end up struggling to make any choice at all.  WHAT's scarier here is the probability that we might end up drifting through life, carried and influenced by other people and circumstances💦💦💦

Our takeaway:  You might get back to me as to WHERE does our SENSE OF SELF will fall on the spectrum?  Perhaps you would notice a pattern of making choices based on WHAT you think other people want from you.  OR maybe you DON'T have many ambitions OR deep-seated passions and simply feel content to go with the flow. And this could boil down to a very curt but incisive question to ourselves:  DO YOU SAY YES TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY?  Oh yes, that's totally fine to accommodate others 'SOMETIMES' BUT IF you always agree to WHAT others want, you likely AREN'T living for yourself. Defining yourself mostly by relationships with others OR your ability to please your loved ones can suggest a 'LESS DEVELOPED' SENSE OF SELF within you.  In a nutshell, DON'T BE A HEADLESS CHICKEN BY LOSING YOUR IDENTITY❗❗❗
