By the end of this post, you'll know just how weird I am & why being myself! Come back again tomorrow for why being weird is great, and how to embrace your own inner weirdness.
The other day I heard a podcast discussion between three unusual, bright, successful women.
One of them mentioned how things had really taken-off since she "stopped pretending to be normal", and let-out her real self. She'd had ideas about what she wanted to do in her business, but worried that if she went with them, all her customers would think she was weird and they'd go elsewhere.
What actually happened was that people loved her honesty & authenticity - many of them had been hiding their own unique qualities, ideas, and ways of being. So when she opened-up and was her true self, they all felt able to do the same, and her number of customers skyrocketed.
I felt a huge burden lift off my shoulders as I listened, and I thought "Why not do the same?"
So, here are a few ways I'm weird:
1. I don't watch tv
2. I'm inspired & energized by the sea, diving, sea-life, being at the coast, 60s surf culture, people who sail round the world, beach huts, coastal bird-watching, photos of coastal homes, & so on
3. In my ideal world, everyone's first goal would be to fully understand themselves
4. I always dress in pink or purple
5. I sometimes blame other people when my life isn't going the way I want it to (yes I see the irony given what I just in No. 3!)
6. I hate shopping & would rather spend the time playing with my cats or chatting with my husband
7. I have a Business & Life Coach
8. Maintaining a healthy climate influences lots of my decisions
9. I can get irritable & mean with the people I love the most
10. I don't think buying unnecessary stuff or a flash car or a bigger house is the way to happiness
11. I get scared about the future & worry at 3am
12. My confidence goes up & down
13. I like both classical music and Public Enemy
14. I understand that happiness is different from fun or pleasure
15. I'm often out-of-step from mainstream views, so I sometimes feel lonely
16. When doing something that scares me, I often procrastinate on it
17. I see a Counsellor
18. I enjoy arty films and Will Ferrell comedies
19. I have no interest in celebrities
20. I'm a vegetarian
