Self expression

Happy Sunday ☺ and happy boxing day🎁 How was church service? In church we talked about thanksgiving as per last Sunday of the year, reflecting on how God has been merciful to us, you can click on the link here to read my previous article on it.

Straight to the topic, self expression its simply an act or form of expressing oneself and people tend to do that in different ways, whether words, actions, clothing, facial expressions and the likes.

We likely have different level of comfort with sharing. What you share to a random person is different from what you share to a friend or best friend. Sometimes we also find it hard to be expressive maybe because of the fear of being judged or people not properly understanding you so we tend to keep it to ourselves and keep suppressing how we actually feel.

Everyone but us understands our personality based on how we share and express ourselves to others, and it sets the tone for our entire life. It's an important component of life to consider, particularly if you want to feel more understood and connected to the people you care about.

Self-expression refers to how we express ourselves, and there are many different ways to do so. There are few "bad" ways to communicate oneself, but there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of being seen and heard.

Healthy ways of expressing oneself

1. Writing about how you feel:- writing can really help to express how you feel, some do this through journals/diary, blogs (anonymous or not), even read.cash site has really helped some of us to be expressive especially me. Writing these thoughts down can be really relieving and helps to slow down our thinking process to fully understand how we feel without having to share with anyone if its private or sensitive.

2. Get Active.

Once we focus on something that pulls it out of our minds and bodies, movement is a strong means of expressing oneself in a physical way. When things go well in athletics, there are many possibilities to feel elated. Yoga, running, swimming, gymnastics, weight lifting, and other sports are examples. Exercise and movement can help you regulate your moods and decrease stress if you suffer from depression, anxiety disorders, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

3. Be creative

You don't have to be an artist to use art to express yourself; anyone can do it. Give it a shot even if you're not very excellent at any of them; you don't have to be great to enjoy it. I occasionally simply attempt things to see how I can be; I'm not very good at makeup, but I still do it, and I also try drawing; it just helps me relax in a way I can't express.

4. Music

This is what I find to be the most effective. Singing in the shower, listening to music wherever you go, or making songs if you're skilled at it are all possibilities. Some people tend to express their selves through music it could be by praising God or a song about how your day went, or someone you Care about and all. Music is like medicine, it could be the beat or lyrics that just gets to you, but its also a way of relieving you.

5.Effective communication

This is one of the simplest ways to express yourself. Sometimes all we need to do is express ourselves to get rid of the pain, but it's never simple since we feel obligated to keep it to ourselves because we're afraid the person to whom we're expressing ourselves will interpret us in a negative or improper way, which could have a mental impact. And sometimes we really want to express ourselves but also want to be safe, which means we end up hurting ourselves more and limiting how we want to express ourselves.

I'm not going to lie. I know how difficult it may be to convey one's inner feelings because I've experienced it before, but I believe I'm emerging better with each passing day. Because of some amazing friends I have, and finally, I believe we shouldn't over think or contemplate about what we don't have, but rather be grateful for what we do have, even if you tagged it as not being perfect, I'm sure someone out there loves you just the way you are, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to improve.

You're unique the way you are, and anyone who thinks, advises, or believes your uniqueness should be kept at bay should be avoided.
