In a recent conversation with coach Shivani Narang, I learnt how to craft an authentic life with equanimity. Find out what she recommends in this post.
I particularly resonate with the idea of leaving home at a young age. Whilst it's not an option that comes without its hurdles, it helped me discover what my 'normal' was without being coerced by society.
I wished I had gotten that chance earlier. I left home at 27 and it took me a while to understand who I am and what I want. More people should understand this, especially in cultures where moving out before marriage is frowned upon.
I love the idea of making your own normal! And I agree with Shivani - the more you compare yourself to others or lose yourself to societal expectations, the more at risk you are to live an unhappy and inauthentic life. Thank you for sharing this interview 😊
I am happy to hear it was useful, Maria. The unique circumstances of our lives require a unique approach and we need not seek validation for it. That was one of the hardest lessons I had to learn, especially as a third culture kid. It was alluring to adapt to my environment all the time.
I really enjoyed this piece Raksha. Thanks for capturing these useful tips and suggestions in this interview with Shivani.
