It’s Time to Own It - You Are Different

Can we just call a spade a spade here? You are different… don’t worry, so am I. So often, we try to hide our differences and pretend that we are just like everyone else, but you aren’t.

You were never meant to be like everyone else. Your differences are what make you uniquely you. They are awesome, special, and it’s time to own them.

This conversation is really prevalent in my life right now because I have the privilege of raising a middle school girl. It is amazing, glorious, fun, and at times, challenging. I get to relive my preteen years of trying to fit in and do everything right. If someone catches on to your different-ness, you could lose it all. Which in middle school means… friends.

I’m now at the age where I can own who I am and how I’m different from other people. My daughter likes to tell me often that “Mom, you make life weird.” Which, in all honesty, I do!! I own it fully. I love box breathing, EFT tapping, energy work, crystals, the law of attraction, and anything that will make my life extraordinary and high vibe. Low vibe is not an option for me! We talk about mindset and manifestation nonstop in my house! I’d like to think that I’m raising her to fulfill all of her dreams in life and be unstoppable (which she is)!

However, when you live in a society (overall) that doesn’t think or believe these things, it can seem weird or strange. Especially when in middle school, all you want is to “fit in.” I don’t think that ends in middle school, by the way.

So, I ask you. Where are you trying to “fit in” instead of fully being yourself? Where in your life can you “own the weirdness” of who you are?

There is nothing more attractive in a person than when they fully embrace who they are! They walk taller, they smile more, and are so happy every day knowing they are the best version of themselves that they can be.

So today, I invite you to embrace all of who you are!! And, I invite you to let others in your life be all of who they are — even if it’s different from you.

You are beautiful, you are amazing, you are loved, and YOU ARE DIFFERENT! 😄
