Our team at autisticana had a discussion last week on the concept Of “ masking “ to fit into societal norms. “ It is exhausted to put on a false show and hide who we really are.
On fact, we are so proud of who we are, and actually society needs to understand the greatness of all of us and how to celebrate every ones’ differences as our coach Dr. Christine teaches us every day.
We thought we would all get together to summarize our group discussion and teach everyone else how to celebrate themselves and their own uniqueness.
“Being who you were created to be” requires authenticity, self-awareness, and courage. Here are some steps towards achieving this:
- Self-Reflection: Spend some time alone thinking about your passions, skills, and core values. What makes you feel alive? What do you feel drawn to? What are your innate talents or skills?
- Self-Acceptance: Understanding, accepting, and loving who you are is vital. This includes embracing your strengths as well as acknowledging your weaknesses.
- Avoid Comparisons: Understand that everyone is unique and has different paths in life. Comparing yourself to others can lead to unnecessary stress and dissatisfaction.
- Follow Your Passions: Doing what you love can often lead to a more fulfilling life. It doesn’t necessarily need to be your career; it can also be a hobby or volunteer work.
- Live Your Values: Identify your core values and try to align your actions with them. This can lead to a feeling of authenticity and fulfillment.
- Be True To Your Feelings: Learn to recognize and respect your feelings. It’s okay to say no when you need to and to ask for what you want.
- Seek Growth: Look for opportunities to grow and learn, either personally or professionally. Embrace challenges as possibilities for development.
- Mindfulness: Be present in the moment, appreciate the beauty around you, pay attention to the little things and allow yourself to exist as you are, without judgement or criticism.
Remember, it’s a journey and not a destination. It doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s normal to face challenges and setbacks. The main thing is to be committed to your personal growth and self-understanding. It can also be helpful to seek support from trusted friends, mentors, or professionals, such as therapists or coaches.
