 How To Express Yourself



Have you paused at some point in your life to think "How do you share yourself with others?"

As individuals, we all have special traits that make us unique from others. The same way we have our methods or preferred style of sharing some parts of ourselves with everyone around us.

The level with which you relate with everyone around you is different. Friends, family, and acquaintances have different levels of communication with you. 

How you express yourself to others shows a significant part of your personality. It helps them understand who you are, and that sets a tone for your entire life. It is a very important aspect of your life, which needs your attention. 

The way you share yourself is termed self-expression. There are lots of ways to express yourself. Some ways may be "wrong", but there are more ways to which you can share yourself with others so that you can be heard by others. 







What is Self-Expression?

Kim & Ko, 2007, defined self-expression as one's thoughts and feelings, and these thoughts and feelings can be expressed through your words, actions, or even choices you make. What you do with what you are thinking or feeling translates to your self-expression. 

Once you have discovered who you are, the next thing is to find a proper channel with which you can express yourself. How can you translate your thoughts in such a way that they will impact others? Well, there are many ways you can do that, some people love to express themselves anonymously while some will love to show themselves. Whichever method you think soothes you better, make sure you find just the right way to communicate yourself.







Methods of expressing yourself 
There is no perfect pattern to self-expression, as individuals, we all have something that sets us apart from others. You can get your cue to self-expression by leveraging what makes you different from others.
Here are just a few methods people use to express themselves
  • Writing
  • Poetry
  • Singing
  • Volunteering
  • Public speaking
  • One on one conversation with others
These are just a pick out of the many ways with which you can express yourself. So it is down to you, after you have discovered yourself it is up to you to look for just the right method to express yourself. 
But one thing that is worthy of note is, there is no self-expression without self-development. Self-development is very critical to who you are. Discover who you are, impact others but don't forget self-development is important.

What are you feeding on?

In life, growth is very important, and to grow the body needs some basic nutrient. The kind of nutrition or malnutrition the body undergoes will determine the kind of growth you will have. For many reasons people decide on different diet plans, keto, vegan, paleo, gluten-free diet just to name a few. These diets work the wonders they are designed to work. In the same way, whatever we ingest will determine what our output will be. Most times we are the product of what we take in. like someone on a diet who is cautious about their weight and eager to maintain a good shape, the result you will produce depends on what you feed on. As you are already guessing I'm not talking about the literal food we eat. What are you listening to? What kind of books do you read? What movies, TV shows, and series are you watching? Are they adding value to you or taking value away from you? Pause! Ask yourself this question again and answer sincerely, what are you feeding on? What you consistently feed o...

Rethink your circle

Who are those in your circle? What type of friends do you keep?  There's a saying that goes thus "the average of 5 people you walk with sums up your life" we could agree to disagree on this, your choice! but it still remains true. Interestingly sometimes you have a little setback or challenge and you are scared to share with your friends!! does that even make sense?  You be thinking in your head, If I tell them they will laugh and make jest of me  and they will not even take it serious no matter what.  What kind of a circle is that? Friends who can't relate with your situation, who can't understand and sympathize with you in whatever situation you are in, they are not friends at all, they don't merit that title.   You need to redefine what friendship is. There are people you talk to they don't necessarily have to be your friends. And then you have the true people who actually care who you can call friends. Most times you get it all wrong assuming because y...
