When you think of rebellion, do images of leather jackets, motorcycles, illegal drugs, or even violence come to mind? Maybe you think of rebel without a cause, someone who is on the path of self-destruction?
rebel-chick-mystics-guide What if rebellion could be a positive thing? What if you used it in personal development to write your own rules for living? These are the ideas I explore in my book, A Rebel Chick Mystic’s The book is a self-help book for brave, misfit women (or for those who aspire to be).
The following of The 5 best methods to practice positive rebellion in your own life:
1. Reject the mass media’s version of reality. The popular media often brings messages of materialism, violence, competition, greed, chaos, and doom. Rebel against this very, one-sided, limited view of the world. Don’t buy into it! Instead, focus on what is right in your own life. Trust me, so much of your life is good. If you’re reading this, chances are, you at least have computer access. I’ll bet that you also have a roof over your head, clothing, food, clean water, and at least one person who loves you.
ng behaviors. It’s releasing the negative associations in your mind and heart, so that you can feel lighter and more peaceful. You don’t even have to directly forgive the person. Just let go in your mind. It’s a process, so your forgiveness may not happen overnight.
4. Stop trying so hard to please everyone. Women especially are socialized to take care of everyone else’s needs. I describe my own journey of letting go of my inner good girl and June Cleaver. It’s important to set some boundaries with love. In my book, I have readers make a list of their personal and professional needs, along with making an action plan to get these needs met. Something seemingly simple as asserting the need to have 10-15 minutes of quiet time can cause some people to have anxiety. Taking care of yourself is not selfish, but it may take some time for loved ones to adapt. Be rebellious and do it anyway before stress affects your physical body. It’s okay to say, “I’d love to help you, but not at this time.”
5. Shift your “crap-itude.” Crap-itude is a term I use in my book to describe having a crappy attitude. Having a positive mental attitude and happiness are closely related. If you focus on what is wrong in your own life and in the world, happiness will elude you. Rebel against your inner crap. Some days, you may even have to fake it until you make it. Reject the negativity of the past in your mind, ditch your inner critics, and stop worrying about the future.
