Dare to Be Yourself - From Style to Interior Decoration, the Key to a Fulfilling Life
Introduction: Why encourage everyone to assert their personality in their style and interior decoration? Because every soul deserves a space that celebrates its uniqueness, a place to fully blossom! Daring to be yourself is to live without lies or concealment, without adapting to others' expectations. Daring to be yourself is embracing your personality, displaying it, and doing things for yourself! I remember a colleague once said, "Lily, when you come dressed like that to the office, don't you take 5 seconds in the morning to wonder if it's appropriate?" You know what? Not a single second! Because when I choose my colors, accessories, dance in my intergalactic hallway, and drink my coffee only from a mug that reflects my mood, I do it for myself! I do it because it makes me happy!
The best part is that by making choices for myself, it inspires those around me! There's this woman who once, in the elevator at my old job, turned to me after the doors closed and said, "You know, every morning I hope we'll take the elevator together because you're my ray of sunshine with all your colors all the time." But the reward!!! The more you decide to be yourself, the more you inspire others to allow themselves to do the same! When you assert your style and personality, you become your own sun, but you also shine for others! So why deprive the world of you and what you can inspire in others?
Things that Prevent Us from Being Ourselves: Often, the world around us dictates norms and expectations, creating obstacles to our true expression. External influences, fleeting trends, and the fear of others' judgment can sometimes prevent us from being true to our deep identity. Imagine walking down a street where every house looks the same, where diversity seems crushed by monotony. This visual metaphor illustrates how norms can standardize our personal expression, limiting us in our quest to be ourselves.
Memories of rejection, mockery, created traumas we don't want to relive. So we do everything to go unnoticed, to avoid reliving these painful experiences. We adopt what we perceive as society's expectations, abandoning some characteristics that make us a unique being in favor of conformity. Constant comparison with others shapes much of our existence. And to ensure approval from the community, we're ready to lose our authenticity. We no longer seek ourselves but live under the injunction to please others, often hearing the phrase, "You're not going out like that! What will people say?"
We are taught the fear of failure and of disappointing others. It's more important not to disappoint others than to feel ourselves. This fear of failure sometimes lasts only a period of life, sometimes a lifetime! We prefer "socially acceptable" behaviors rather than taking risks, following our intuition and heart. We aspire to perfection, trying to hide "so-called" flaws or complexes to meet standards.
And then, being authentic is being vulnerable! "You'll be manly, my kid," sings Eddy de Pretto, "too good, too dumb"... Once again, we have to fight against a multitude of expectations taught to us since childhood. We're often reminded that if we show our weaknesses or express our emotions, the world will use it against us! But it's from our vulnerability that we draw our strength! And it's also our vulnerability that attracts those around us.
What Changes in Our Life When We Dare to Be Ourselves? There are two simple ways to assert your personality daily that are easily accessible and for which you can see benefits quickly: your clothing style and the decoration of your home!
Expressing oneself through style and interior decoration has a positive impact on emotional well-being. Surrounding ourselves with colors, patterns, and objects that resonate with our identity creates an environment that inspires joy, comfort, and satisfaction. Creating a space that truly reflects who we are helps bring out what matters most: Us! Choosing decoration elements that personally please us rather than following fleeting trends allows us to connect with our own tastes and vision. The home then becomes more than a living space; our realm becomes a personal sanctuary! Asserting your personality in interior decoration makes the home a place where you feel at peace, safe, and authentic. Living in an environment that corresponds to your personality reduces stress as it offers a soothing atmosphere conducive to relaxation and releasing daily tensions.
Asserting oneself through style and decoration goes beyond aesthetics. It is a beneficial act for strengthening self-esteem, creative expression, positive stimulation, daily authenticity, pride in personal space, positive sensory stimulation, and deep self-connection. By envisioning your home as a living canvas of your personality, you will discover how each carefully chosen object can become a powerful affirmation of who you are.
How to Concretize this Self-Affirmation? By personalizing your space with unique and original creations to express your uniqueness and build the perfect piece that seems to have been designed especially for you. Personalizing your space with unique and original creations becomes a tangible way to express your uniqueness. Imagine yourself surrounded by objects that tell your story, a story written in colors, textures, and unique forms. Pleasant textures, soothing colors, and inspiring patterns contribute to an enriching sensory experience.
