3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Follow Every Trend

In a world where there’s a new buzzing trend everyday, one can feel extremely pressured to keep up with the constant flow of what's "in” and what’s “out”. Whether it’s a new must-try product, a fitness trend, or fashion inpos, you can’t help but feel either you’re missing out on something, or that you need to change in order to keep up with everything around you.

You constantly juggle up your style, your slangs and even your opinions for the sake of just going with the crowd, and it all comes at a hefty price at the end; which is slowly losing your identity in the process.

So, here is why now is the perfect time to step back from the trends, and re-evaluate what truly matters to you.

 

Trends Come and Go

Every trend dies at some point, what is popular today may be irrelevant tomorrow and trying to stay on top of them can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected. On the other hand, when you focus on what truly fits your style, values, and preferences, you create something more lasting; a personal identity that doesn’t rely on the validation of others, you create a persona that is authentic and all yours.

 

Constantly Changing Will Lead to Burnout 

Chasing trends blindly can be exhausting, we know. From constantly updating your wardrobe to learning the latest slang, this will eventually lead to burn out whether mentally or financially. So, try to slow down and focus on what truly brings you joy and fulfillment. You don’t need to keep up with the every trend around you to be happy.

 

Confidence Should Come From Within 

Relying on trends for confidence creates a constant need for external validation. Following every trend might make you feel good and “in”, but the truth is confidence should come from embracing who you are, not what you have or how many trends you followed. When you know what makes you unique, and own it proudly, you’ll find that you no longer need the latest trend to feel good about yourself and to feel happy. Instead, you’ll have a sense of self-assurance that doesn’t fade away when trends inevitably do.
