How to stop worrying about what others think about you

Hey y’all! 🩷 One of the hardest parts of living an authentic life is letting go of what others think of you. I know it sounds tough—trust me, it’s something I still work on—but it’s a total game-changer once you do! 💫

Here are some ways to start breaking free from that constant worry:

💖 1. Recognize the Pattern: The first step is catching yourself in the act of worrying about others’ opinions. When you notice it happening, ask yourself—“Why am I giving someone else’s opinion more power than my own?” Just being aware of this is HUGE.

💖 2. Shift Your Focus to What You Think: Instead of asking, “What will they think?” try asking, “What do I think about this?” What makes you happy? What do you want? Start shifting the spotlight back on yourself and what brings you joy.

💖 3. Challenge the Fear: Ask yourself—what’s the worst thing that could happen if someone doesn’t like what I do, wear, or say? Usually, you’ll realize the answer isn’t as scary as you think. Most people are too wrapped up in their own lives to care!

💖 4. Practice Saying “No”: Sometimes, we fear others’ judgment so much that we say “yes” to things we don’t want to do. Practice saying “no” when something doesn’t align with who you are. It’ll feel empowering, and it helps build confidence in your choices.

💖 5. Surround Yourself with Supportive People: The more you’re around people who celebrate the real you, the less you’ll care about those who don’t. Find your tribe—people who love you for exactly who you are—and lean on them for support when self-doubt creeps in.

Letting go of what others think won’t happen overnight, but each step you take helps you feel more free, more you, and ultimately, more alive. 🌟
