How To Be Normal – Start By Normalising All Of This In Your Life….
If you want to know how to be normal…there’s no simple answer but you can definitely start here by normalising these things…
Let’s chat about how to be normal.
I think you all know that the answer to this question: HOW TO BE NORMAL? is this:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS NORMAL.
Consider the following quotes:
A ‘normal person’ is what is left after society has squeezed out all unconventional opinions and aspirations out of a human being.”
The only people we can think of as normal are those we don’t yet know very well. Alain de Botton
Normal is relative. Alethea Kontis
But still stick with me here because the truth is: plenty of people have normalised actions in this world that MAKE US FEEL TOTALLY CRAP.
So here are a few things I would love to normalise:
HOW TO BE NORMAL
I’d love to normalise all of this:
🤍 Asking for help
🤍 Embracing your flaws
🤍 Making mistakes
🤍 Owning your mistakes
🤍 Saying no when we want to say no
🤍 Knowing it’s okay to not be okay
🤍 Feeling negative emotions
🤍 Having a rest when your mind and body needs it
🤍 Not having to justify why we set particular boundaries
🤍 Ditching toxic people from your life
🤍 Doing what needs to be done (even when you don’t “feel like it”)
🤍 Encouraging kids to think for themselves and be different
🤍 Speaking up when we see something wrong
🤍 Sticking up for others who don’t have the strength or power to do it themselves
🤍 Showing compassion for others
HOW TO BE NORMAL
Think about the flipside of each of these points:
💔 Thinking you need to do it all yourself
💔 Beating yourself up for not being perfect
💔 Actively avoiding or fearing failure
💔 Blaming other people when things go wrong
💔 Feeling the pressure to say yes when we want to say no
💔Feeling like we need to hide or put on a happy face when we’re going through a hard season in life
💔 Resisting negative emotions rather than allowing them to be
💔 Thinking being busy is the goal and that resting = laziness.
💔 Having people overstep your boundaries because they aren’t clear.
💔 Or even worse, having people badger you to ignore your boundaries because they don’t like them
💔 Spending time with people who totally drain your energy and/or drag you down
💔 Procrastinating and wasting time because you’re “not in the mood”
💔 Having kids who blindly follow others without tapping into their own resourcefulness and uniqueness
💔 Letting injustice occur without doing anything to stop it
💔 Failing to see the humanness in others. In the end, every human in this world just wants to be loved, appreciated and understood.
