Have you ever experienced a sense of not belonging, a feeling of being slightly peculiar or different from others around you?   Perhaps you've spent years fixating on your quirks, striving to conceal them in the hope of being better liked or fitting in more seamlessly with your peers, or even appearing cooler than you genuinely are.   This is the first part of this two-part episode of Embrace Your Real podcast where I’m going to share why being weird and different is actually a good thing! I want to show you how your life can change once you stop obsessing about being cool and start focusing on being your true authentic self.     What I discuss: It makes you stand out. It allows you to express your creativity. It helps you find your people. It can boost your self-confidence.     Links mentioned in the episode:   Episode 276 - 6 Ways to Live More Authentically (Part 1) Episode 278 - 6 Ways to Live More Authentically (Part 2)     If you want more from me, be sure to check out...   Instagram: @embraceyourreal | @movementwithjulie Movement With Julie | App: https://sale.movementwithjulie.com/ Macro Counting Made Simple: https://www.macrocountingmadesimple.com/ Website: www.juliealedbetter.com Free e-book: www.juliealedbetter.com/free-ebook Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-6bda1ca8?ref=cm_sw_em_r_inf_pub_influencer-6bda1ca8_dp_DgsIam9salgfi
