I’m a very curious person and my mind is like a jigsaw puzzle, some pieces exist and some of them are jumbled up…
One day an interesting question just struck me when I was texting my friend and boom, I started researching and learning more about it and here I am sharing it with you guys about how to be an independent person.
There are two ways of being independent that is being physically independent and being emotionally independent.
Being physically independent doesn’t mean you walk up to your Dad and say “Hey Dad! From now on I will live separately in a fully furnished apartment with a dog”
No! Being physically independent is making sure you complete your very basic, day to day tasks all by yourself and to be able to make use of your voluntary muscles in the most effective and efficient way possible.Things like picking up your glass after drinking water, going to college, cleaning your messed up room, getting yourself a glass a wine are some things which you can do independently on a physical level.
Now the next category is being emotionally independent.
Being emotionally independent is being completely dependent on “your” mind. Your mind is like a bomb you know? Train it and it will be under your control.
Own everything you do!
Beware you might get trapped in your mind castle, but the best part is only you have the master key to get out of that state or place.
Don’t depend on people to act like a back up system.That’s the job of your two terabyte hard disk for backing up data!!
Be your own pillar of support.
Be a master of instant noodle making if you can’t cook or else be a bread and nutella fan!!
Learn to cross roads on your own, learn to self hug. Don’t even ask for virtual ones.
People change and you know what??
Change is inevitable my friend.
The faster you accept it the better it is for you.
And once that person whom you were completely dependent on leaves you, it will be like the tornado met the volcano.
You will crash.
Now you wouldn’t want that would you?
To avoid crashing, learn to fly in the autopilot mode.
In life nobody can push you forward unless you push yourself.
When realisation hits you, it will hit you like a freaking wrecking ball, and it will be too late.
The ship would have sailed and you can’t go for your cruise.
Hence, wake up and get dressed no matter how crappy and crazy your day is going to be, be confident, try being an optimistic person, a narcissistic personality would also do.
Try taking things cooly and not too seriously. This is something which I am yet to work on you know? Haha.
Get some “Me” time for yourself where you can build yourself into a strong individual.
Believe in yourself! Stick to a routine. Be headstrong. Try being as curious as possible. Be humble, kind hearted and sweet!
Listen to people, be diplomatic where you have to be.
Learn to be rational but don’t try to be an engineer everywhere. LOL!
Trust yourself and your instincts.
Wear Nike, Converse, or your favourite pair of Louboutin’s, whatever makes you feel amazing and remember to be awesome, wild and fiercely independent. 🙂 😀
