You are free when you think

One of the greatest desires of human beings is to be free. A very precious asset that, sometimes, is difficult for us to find. How many times have you felt tied to a person or your own job? On what occasions have you noticed that you were stuck without being able to move forward?

Freedom is not always taken away from us by circumstances or others.. We ourselves are the ones who often give it away or set a price that is too low. Being free has more to do with perception than reality.

Therefore, An incarcerated person can feel much freer than someone who is surrounded by loved ones.. One way to fully notice this is to travel. Many people are addicted to it because jumping from country to country they have the feeling that it is their will, and not convention, that guides their steps.

Stop carrying the weight of material things

The time we live in and the thinking that surrounds us is very materialistic.. We give maximum power to accumulating wealth and things that are not really useful. However, the fact of having them makes us happy? Now that we are close to Christmas, it could be a good time to get rid of everything that surrounds us, but that is of no use to us.

Donating clothes, toys, useful or decorative objects can be a tremendously liberating experience.. Not only because you are cleaning and throwing out everything that was taking up space, but because you are giving other people the possibility that they can give some use to what you have accumulated.

You don’t have to have much to feel free

Those worries that pop into your mind about “I might need it tomorrow,” “what if I want to wear it for a special occasion?” They limit your freedom. So fill your life with things you will needbut only what you need and clean everything that is only taking up space that should be free.

To be free, be yourself

There is no person more slave than the one who does not know himself. There are many chains in our minds that need to be released. But we will not be able to do it if we do not know each other, if we refuse to do it. So don’t be afraid to start taking small steps towards the path of your freedom.

Be consistent with your values

When you go against them you deceive yourselfYou may even feel uncomfortable. You are betraying yourself, and that makes you less free. Sometimes it is difficult to follow them, to be faithful to our values. But you will see that it is your fear that speaks when you do not take it into account to govern your behavior.

Put expectations aside

Expectations lead us to a terrible outcome, that of disappointment. That’s why, It is better to have realistic goals that propose intermediate goals and achievable final goals.

Don’t expect miracles, well success is built step by step. Focusing on the present will be a point in your favor, because enjoying the journey will always make you freer.

Never stop surprising yourself

They laugh at you because you are surprised in circumstances that others consider should not be extraordinary because “you are already grown up.” This is a mistake, an attempt to imprison you. Don’t hide your ability to be fascinated, even with the little things.

Continue daydreaming, traveling and getting to know yourself more. People live pigeonholed into what is “correct” and acceptable to others. However, haven’t you felt the freedom that leaving that secure job for one that truly fulfilled you gave you? Doing what makes you happy is what will allow you to be a free person.

We are all afraid of going off the path that others have marked us, so they can even reward us if we follow it. Our beliefs, what is right or wrong, what they instill in us as good ways of doing things, mark us.

Nevertheless, Being free is very different for some and for others.. Today you have the possibility to start being one. Do you dare to take the first step?
