After being silent for so long, finding your voice can be tricky. You may have been quiet behind an abusive relationship, a traditional family, a depression, or just for the sake of talking. Women with loud voices are sometimes a headache for society, and that is why we need everyone to dare to speak up. How to find your own voice after being quiet for so long?
Mirror exercises
One of the most difficult things for people is to recognize themselves as perfect human beings. You are, stop seeing the blemishes. Part of finding your own voice, your tastes, and knowing yourself is living with who you are. Being aware of your body, appearance, pros, cons, and a great exercise to do every day is to tell yourself. “I love you” see your eyes in the mirror and recognize yourself, as the woman you are.
Know yourself before defending a point
Knowing yourself will make you aware of your values, and that you can defend your points of view when the occasion arises. You don’t have to speak out to defend your ideals. The first thing is to be faithful to who you are, that way, the people around you will be able to recognize who you are. You will have a personal voice that you can use, and it will be reflected in who you are.
Polish what has to be polished
So that your voice is heard, work on yourself, heal your wounds. We spend a lot of time thinking about external fights without stopping to see what needs to be polished on the inside. When you feel left out or are victimizing yourself, pay attention. When we feel hurt, upset, or when we see ourselves reflected in others, we must pay attention to the signs. Detect that you lack work, see therapy, work on yourself, work on your self-esteem.
Make a map of who you want to be
Fortunately for us at this time, we have a lot of open roads. Today you can be the black sheep of your family. Get out of that corral of limiting beliefs. Seek to open the way for new generations dare to be a better version of yourself. Heal the wounds of your lineage by taking different paths. Do not regret going out of the way that they told you was the insurance. Make a map, a list of the good and the bad in you. What you want to be and what you want to leave. Writing it will make things easier for you. You will have a map to follow.
But above all, be compassionate and patient with yourself. On the way to finding your own voice, you don’t have to defend the indefensible. Neither are injustices, because only until you heal your own wounds and work on yourself, will you realize that everyone has the weapons to get ahead under their own means, and the indefensible will have a different meaning for you.
