8 Ways To Embrace Your Weirdness

Life is too short not to be weird!

Normal is a monotonous routine, often predictable. Ordinary people set schedules that they adhere to every day. But imagine the exhilaration, the liberation, when you break free from these societal norms and engage in something beyond the ordinary whenever you desire. 

Like, Uh uh, I don’t have time to be weird today, so next Tuesday will have to do”!

NO, opt to do something unconventional and enjoyable today. Laugh and behave like a free spirit. As we age, we tend to overlook the sheer joy we experience in unscheduled and spontaneous activities. Embracing these moments can bring a sense of freedom and creativity and even improve our mental health. 

Have you thought about the best times you had growing up?

You were probably doing some weird and spontaneous stuff that you wouldn’t dare do now. You made time to live a little and have fun. Now, I’m not saying you have to do anything risky; use your brain, but step away from your regular schedule. 

A Guide to Embracing Your Unique Weird Self

  1. Embrace your quirks and unique qualities with confidence.
  2. Surround yourself with people who appreciate your uniqueness and celebrate your individuality.
  3. Share your passions and interests without fear of judgment.
  4. Explore new experiences and opportunities that align with your authentic self.
  5. Remember that being different is a strength, not a weakness.
  6. Express yourself authentically without fear of judgment.
  7. Find joy in the things that make you stand out.
  8. Celebrate your individuality, and don’t be afraid to be different.

This is not a guide to just being weird but a celebration of the joy and empowerment that comes from embracing your true self, your unique self. Being ‘weird’ implies doing things that are unconventional or unexpected, while being ‘unique’ means embracing your individuality and the things that make you different from others.

Embrace both things and LIVE!

  2. Every time I was ever asked if I rather normal or weird, I always say weird. Weird is you, it’s personality. To me, what is normal? Sounds like a programming as everyone is different. But I just be thinking

  19. Thanks for this post my friend. I am going to use it, I hope you don’t mind to express a uniqueness in some ways that still causes judgement, etc. you know me well, so you know how I grew up, and that I wrote a bestseller, expressing all the things or many of the things that happened to me while I was growing up. There are still people that I believe, find it difficult to read, so they tend to see it as looking for attention or not wanting to read depressing work. I think others see it as shameful that I existed the way I did as a child. That school of thought is so unfair and always has been. Children being mocked and abused by other children because they are in a horrific environment at home that comes out in the newspaper or simply by seeing what’s happening is an example of children not being told what’s right and wrong. As adults, she would think that they would realize I have nothing to be ashamed of and I am not ashamed of anything I ever write about. I could not control what happened to me as a little child growing up. I simply tried to survive. So for any, and all of those people who still want to hide away from the truth or not have to hear about it- that something like a third of our population grew up in some kind of dysfunctional environment. They just don’t talk about it. So my dear friend Belladonna, I really appreciate what you are saying here. What we might see is different or something unique that we can experience is a good thing it’s not a bad thing. The same thing applies when growing up hopefully we get help and learn how to live a different life and are able to rejoice and be grateful for the opportunity to reverse cycles of abuse as in my case. We get to appoint of forgiveness as well, hopefully for those who offended us or abused us as a child and move on in our life and achieve many good things, including helping others. I always enjoy reading your blog because you are honest and offer up great advice to people on how to shake things up and celebrate yourself for who you are. much love, respect, and appreciation, Joni ❤️🤗❤️

  20. That is why I enjoy being a retiree so much: the freedom! I can do things that I like in my own tempo and when and where I want to do them.

    A former colleague asked me how I get structure into my daily routine. I don’t want structure and daily routine anymore, thank you very much, I had that for decades. Often I don’t know what day of the week it is, and I am enjoying it. Although I have a calendar, appointments cannot 100% be avoided 😉

    Am I weird? I don’t think so, I am charming 😉 😀 ❤

  21. 🌞 I was standing at a intersection Friday past, waiting for the walk sign, headphones on and cane in hand. A good song came on and I started moving to the music, and noticed people driving, and walking, by smiling at me…
    Rather than worry about being judged, I smiled back.
    That is how much I have healed, I no longer worry about what other people think and just do my own thing… I am glad I make others smile, its better than a frown!
