How can I loosen up and just be myself?!
Question:
How can I loosen up and just be myself?
I have trouble finding balance between working hard and having fun. I think both are important. I just can't be myself around people, I am not even sure who "myself" is anymore. I have trouble making connections with people because I tend to be overly serious and uptight. Need advice.
Answers:
One thing you could do is use that talent you have for working hard and apply it to having fun.
Schedule 'fun time'. schedule taking a walk, going to a movie, designate certain nights as going out nights, then ask people to go with you, plan healthy menus, and schedule shopping times to stock up...
It is very important to your mental as well as physical health to schedule 'down' time. That means no phone, no business!
Maybe if you assign fun to yourself, you'll get into the swing of it eventually.
