Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Friday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Own Who You Are
This week I want to give you some personal truths & beliefs to live by. These episodes will also help you realize that taking responsibility for everything in your life will make you stronger, not weaker.
It's easy to blame someone else for how we are feeling, why we are doing certain things & what has happened to us in the past, but that type of behavior will not help us succeed or move forward in life. That is taking the easy way out.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- You may not think so because everyone talks about how they are entitled to their opinion, which is true, but I feel like a lot of people’s opinions are based on someone else’s opinion, someone else’s knowledge or the fear of being judged for their true thoughts.
- I believe owning your opinion is just another one of the biggest & best things we can do to become more confident in ourselves & become our best selves.
- But something I believe everyone forgets is that people’s opinions are not facts or necessarily truths, but just that person’s thoughts. Which is why we should use caution when we try to align with someone else’s opinions or try to take on their point of view.
- There truly isn’t anything wrong with owning your own opinion & believing in your own thoughts.
- But I understand that one of the biggest issues with sharing your own opinion is that people will judge you for not having the same opinion as them. People fear what they don’t know or don’t find similar.
- But it’s so important that we find the courage within ourselves to stay firm in our own beliefs & opinions so that we honor who we are & what WE truly believe, not based on someone else.
- But if you have trouble forming your own opinion, letting alone owning one, I have a few suggestions that may help you. First, learn to trust what your gut feelings are. Next, talk with others about their experiences. Next, consider your own experiences. Also, consider doing some research for both sides, if it applies to the opinion you are trying to consider. And know that it is ok to change your opinion, if you choose to see something a different way, but make sure that is actually by choice & not because someone is trying to bully you into doing so or you feel pressured. And lastly, understand that not everyone will accept it what you believe.
- Finally, when you do craft your opinion & choose to own it fully, do it respectfully.
- There will be people that do not agree with what you believe. So when you decide to share your opinions with others, understand that it is fine & your right to share it, but it’s not fair to try to force someone else to think the same as you do.
- It’s tough because one of the biggest problems I see right now is that when someone devulges their opinion to others, it can easily lead the listener to placing that person in a category or stereotyped group because of one thought or belief.
- Just go into owning your opinion knowing there will be some unease at some point because not everyone is respectful or fair
