You’re the Individualist
You march to the beat of your own drum; living life on your own terms and expressing your uniqueness are key elements of what make you, you. You are a planner, like your routines, and are fine doing your own thing. You are always ready to be inspired or to transform in whatever ways make sense for you and your truth.
You know exactly how you operate best at work, and you get things done with incredible efficiency when you’re able to do it in your way. If necessary, you can conform to other people’s schedules, but you’re excellent at self-motivating and reliably hit your own benchmarks.
You understand the value of spending time on your own, so you’re selective with how you spend your time socializing. You’re perfectly happy to go to a movie alone or visit your favorite restaurant for the thousandth time. But, it’s even better if a few of your closest friends come along.
You make your well-being a priority in your relationships, as well it should be! You can trust your instincts in romantic and family life, and your family trusts it too. You’re not perfect all the time, but your attention to detail doesn’t miss much.
Super Self Care
- Your superpower is your ability to do what you want without asking anyone for permission. Now take the same approach to your self-care– it’s not selfish to make yourself a priority. Don’t be afraid to let go of parts of your routines that aren’t working for you or to add a fun new element to shake things up a bit—you’ll have some new, awesome habits in no time.
- Don’t get so focused on making the next plan or following the way you’ve done things in the past that you aren’t present in the moment or don’t let yourself have a grander view of the situation. Striving for perfection can be the enemy of growth and progress. Being mindful will do wonders for your self-care: you’ll be surprised at the ideas, insights, and wins that come your way.
- Pensive moods come easily to you and there is much power to be found in self-reflection. Daily journaling is an excellent tool for self-care, so get those notebooks and pens ready! Writing what’s goin your mind out on paper can help you process how you’re feeling and encourage you to focus on the positive. It also helps keep you out of brooding territory. Take a stab at writing about your day just before bed and you’ll get out any thoughts that will keep you from getting a good night’s sleep.
Strategies for Stressful Times
- Harness your self-motivating powers to de-stress in a new way. Maybe this means booking a solo spa day instead of spending the day at the movies. Just because you know what has worked for you in the past doesn’t mean that’s the only routine you have to stick to.
- Allow yourself some space to slow down. Immerse yourself in something that nourishes and de-stresses in a playful manner, that doesn’t involve you needing to make many decisions. Ordering coffee and picking movies are relatively low-stakes choices, but take a break from any higher stakes decisions that life throws our way. If you can’t avoid it, ask for only enough information to make a decision and move on. Decision fatigue is real and you’re making enough of them in your working hours! Indecision can be your own prison. Remind yourself that you only have control over what you can control, aka your side of the street. It’s OK to let go of the things you can’t control.
- As much as you prefer to work through things on your own, don’t shy away from reaching out to your closest friends when you need a little extra help. Sometimes a second opinion or different point of view can put things in an entirely different light, and the act of telling someone what you’re going through can help you feel less alone.
