Finding Yourself: Rediscovering Your Originality

 Hey all, Namasthe and Greetings!


It's easy to fall into the trap of trying to change yourself to fit in with other people's tastes and preferences. Maybe you feel like you don't quite fit in, or perhaps you want to impress someone. Whatever the reason, losing your originality can leave you feeling lost and disconnected from who you truly are. 


In a world that often values conformity over individuality, it's easy to lose sight of our unique qualities and adopt the preferences and tastes of those around us. This can lead to a sense of disconnection and a feeling of missing oneself. However, the good news is that it's never too late to reclaim your originality and experience a deep transformation. By taking steps such as acknowledging your feelings, identifying the root cause, and embracing your unique qualities, you can rediscover your true self and live a more authentic and fulfilling life. In this blog, we'll explore practical ways to help you find your way back to your authentic self.


Losing your originality is a common experience in a world that constantly pressures us to fit in and conform to society's standards. It's easy to get caught up in the opinions of others and forget who we truly are. But the good news is that it's possible to find your way back to your authentic self and experience deep transformation.


Here are some steps to take:


Acknowledge your feelings.

It's essential to acknowledge and accept the emotions that come with losing your originality. You may feel lost, disconnected, and unsure of who you are. It's okay to feel this way. Recognize that these feelings are a natural response to the situation.


Identify the root cause.

What caused you to lose your originality? Was it peer pressure, a desire to fit in, or something else? Understanding the root cause can help you identify patterns in your behavior and make changes to prevent a similar situation from happening in the future.


Reflect on your values.

What do you value most in life? Take some time to reflect on your beliefs, passions, and dreams. Write them down and remind yourself of what's important to you.


Embrace your unique qualities.

What makes you unique? Your quirks, talents, and personality traits are what make you stand out from the crowd. Embrace these qualities and celebrate them.


Let go of the need for approval.

Stop seeking approval from others and focus on accepting and approving of yourself. Remember, you don't need anyone else's validation to be happy and fulfilled.


Take action.

Make a plan to integrate your true self into your daily life. Set small goals that align with your values and take steps towards living an authentic life

Take a step back and reflect on who you are.

When was the last time you really thought about who you are and what makes you unique? Take some time to reflect on your strengths, passions, and values. Make a list of your achievements, big and small, and remind yourself of your strengths.


Stop trying to please others.

It's easy to fall into the trap of trying to please others and make them happy. However, when you do this at the expense of your own happiness and authenticity, you're only hurting yourself. Remember, you can't please everyone, and that's okay. Focus on being true to yourself, and the right people will appreciate you for who you are.


Embrace your quirks and imperfections.

We all have quirks and imperfections, but that's what makes us unique and special. Embrace your quirks and imperfections and see them as part of what makes you who you are. Don't be afraid to show your true colors and let your personality shine through.


Surround yourself with positive people.

Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you to be your best self. Avoid people who criticize or try to change you, and instead, seek out those who appreciate and celebrate your uniqueness.


Practice self-care.

Taking care of yourself is essential for your mental and emotional well-being. Make time for activities that bring you joy and help you relax, such as reading, meditating, or taking a walk in nature


In conclusion, rediscovering your originality is a powerful journey that can lead to a deep sense of personal transformation and fulfillment. By embracing your unique qualities, letting go of the need for approval, and taking action aligned with your values, you can unlock your full potential and live a more authentic life. Remember that you are worthy of love and acceptance just the way you are, and with time, effort, and self-compassion, you can achieve your dreams and become the best version of yourself. 

Keep pushing forward, and never forget the power of being true to yourself.


Stay tuned

That Random day in my life.....

 That day began like any other, filled with gratitude to Narasimha and hope for the day ahead. I went to work, but by mid-day, something shifted. I fell sick—suddenly, unexpectedly—and as the hours passed, my condition worsened. It wasn’t just an ordinary illness; this time, it felt heavy, like a storm I couldn’t escape.  For a moment, I wondered if I would survive. And in that quiet space, where everything else faded, two thoughts consumed me: What about my son? Will my husband manage without me? And then a strange question arose—Is my purpose done? Am I leaving because I’ve already fulfilled what I came to do? ( may be if we feel that moments are our last seconds and if we feel that we don't see tomorrow,then the most precious things alone we might be remember and we would recollect ..it would have scroll down like a reel those precious moments, and so i felt about my son and husband)  After several tests, the diagnosis finally came through: viral and bacterial pneumoni...

నాన్న కు చివరి వీడ్కోలు లేఖ

In the wake of my father's death, I found myself navigating a grief, but within that sorrow, I discovered profound truths about the essence of life itself. As I grappled with the enormity of my loss, I came to realize that death is not just an end, but a poignant reminder of the impermanence of our earthly existence.

Moreover, his passing unveiled the resilience of the human spirit, teaching me that even in the darkest of times, there is strength to be found within. Through the depths of my sorrow, I discovered an inner resolve to honor his memory by living a life of purpose, resilien...

తండ్రి మరణం ,కూతురికి నేర్పిన పాఠాలు

మాతృ గర్భం నుండి సముద్రం గర్భం వరకు, తల్లి  చల్లని ఒడి నుండి మృత్యు మాత యొక్క అగ్ని ఒడి వరకు జరిగే ప్రయాణంలో నీ ప్రశ్నలు నీవే, జవాబులు నీవే, పోరాటం నీవే.. బతుకు నీదే.. చావు నీదే. పుట్టుక, మరణం రెండు ఒంటరే. ఈ రెండి మద్య నువ్వు పంచిన స్పూర్తి.. అదే నీ జీవితం జీవితంలో అత్యంత ఘర్షణాత్మక సంఘటనలు మన వ్యక్తిత్వంలో బలమైన మార్పును కలిగిస్తాయి.  Losing my father was one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. But you know what? It changed me. It taught me lessons I don’t think I would have learned otherwise. It’s like life whispered, "Here’s the truth—take it, hold it, and grow with it." One of the first things I learned was how important it is to stand on your own.I realized I had to become that for myself. Independence isn’t just about surviving—it’s about finding strength you didn’t know you had. And trust? Oh, that was a big one. I’ve learned to be careful with trust. Not everyone deserves it, and that’s okay. But here’s the thing—I haven’t closed myself off. I’ve just beco...

The Beauty of Slowing Down

  Hey all,Namaste. thank you for tuning in voice of chittan blog.  Today, I want to talk about something we often overlook but desperately need:  "the art of doing nothing.” Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn’t it? There are days when no matter how hard we plan, things just don’t go our way. Deadlines get missed, expectations aren’t met, and sometimes, it feels like the world is rushing by while we’re stuck in slow motion. It’s frustrating, right? But what if I told you that these unexpected pauses are not failures—they’re opportunities? Opportunities to breathe. To reflect. To just be. Think about it. From the moment we wake up, we’re chasing something—goals, recognition, validation, or even the next item on our to-do list. But do we ever pause and ask ourselves, “Why?” Why are we running? And more importantly, where are we running to? Here’s the thing: not every day has to be about hitting targets or checking boxes. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments come ...

If the Entire Team Fails, Then the Manager Also Fails: Understanding Shared Responsibility

 " When a team fails, the manager/leader fails too. A leader never have blaming tone,but sets an inspiration". Hey all Namasthe,  In the world of organisation ,failure is often seen as a setback, a sign that something went wrong. When an entire team fails, it can feel like a disaster. However, the true measure of a manager is not in how they handle success, but in how they manage failure. While a bad manager might blame their team to remain in their boss’s good books, a good manager understands that leadership means taking responsibility, learning from mistakes, and turning failure into an opportunity for growth. Here’s how a manager can win, even when their team fails. 1. Accept Responsibility The first step in turning failure into victory is for the manager to accept responsibility. This doesn’t mean shouldering all the blame, but rather acknowledging their role in the team’s performance. A good manager understands that they are accountable for the team's results, and t...

Self-Persecuting/ Compassion. What is your Choice?

Hey all Namasthe and welcome to another blog on Voice of Chittan.  I was reading the Journey of successful women. Then asked myself on “ What is the definition of Success?” “Does someone else validate it?” You all know and It is a bitter fact that Judgemental exists everywhere, how to sail the ocean of expectations!!!!  As women, we often find ourselves wearing multiple hats in our lives - caretakers, professionals, partners, friends - the list goes on. In the midst of fulfilling these roles, we sometimes forget the most important person: ourselves. It's time to stop the cycle of self-persecution and embrace self-compassion. Let us understand the power of self-acceptance and the freedom it brings.  Here, I share some of my opinions and insights in the hope of inspiring others to take their stand and reclaim their sense of self. One of the greatest burdens we carry is the weight of our own insecurities. We constantly strive for perfection, fearing judgment and rejection if...
