Summertime Madness: Let this Time Be All About Self-Acceptance & Real Joy

Summertime Madness: Let this Time Be All About Self-Acceptance & Real Joy

With the joy that summer brings along, there is still a bit of pressure that messes with our emotional and mental state. The moment you grab your phone and check social media, you are bombarded with photos and stories of people travelling here and there, partying, clubbing, and so on. 

The pressure summer brings along comes on different levels. There is the fear of missing out, the growing consciousness of body image, how thinner or bigger you should look, and the stressing need to be as trendy as everyone else. Then, in the middle of all that comparison, we forget two important things, self-acceptance and knowing how to be genuinely happy.

 

Find Your Own Happiness.

Keep that in mind, what makes others happy won’t necessarily make you happy. Learn about yourself well enough to be able to identify what makes you happy rather than doing things that are perceived as joyful. While some people find happiness in travelling and adventure, others might find it in spending alone time. So, do what makes you happy, don’t follow the crowd.

 

Learn to love and accept yourself as you are.

Don’t let the things you see around affect your self-confidence. Love and accept yourself the way you are. There is no certain mold that you have to fit in. Accept your appearance, love your body the way it is, and don’t compare yourself to anyone else.

 

To sum it up, summer should be a time of happiness not a time of pressure. Enjoy it your way, your rules, and don’t follow in the footsteps of others in the journey of finding your own happiness.
