I am not defined by societal expectations
It's easy to get caught up in the expectations that society places on us. We're told what we should wear, how we should act, and what we should aspire to be. It can be overwhelming, and it's easy to feel like we're not living up to those expectations. But the truth is, you are not defined by societal expectations.
It's important to remember that society is made up of individuals, each with their own beliefs and values. Just because something is considered "normal" or "expected" doesn't mean it's right for you. You have the power to make your own choices and live your life on your own terms.
When you start to feel like you're not living up to societal expectations, it can be helpful to take a step back and evaluate what's important to you. What are your values? What makes you happy? What do you want to achieve in life? Once you have a clear understanding of these things, it becomes easier to make decisions that align with your own goals and desires.
It's also important to remember that societal expectations are constantly changing. What was considered "normal" 50 years ago is very different from what's considered "normal" today. Trying to keep up with these ever-changing expectations is exhausting and ultimately futile. Instead, focus on being true to yourself and living your life in a way that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Repeat this affirmation to yourself: "I am not defined by societal expectations". It may take time to fully internalize this belief, but with practice, you'll start to feel more confident in your own choices and less concerned with what others think.
