When you finally start living life on your terms, many people may feel like they are losing the person they used to know you to be.
When you consciously decide to manifest the life you deserve, you may find that certain people like friends and family may begin to see that you are changing. You may feel like you should apologize, but you shouldn’t. You have to be willing to live your life and do what feels right.
The more you walk in your truth, the more you shouldn’t feel wrong about how you live.
So in this article, I will give you six things you should never apologize for on your manifestation journey.
1. Your opinions
Your feelings are a part of who you are, and they deserve to be respected. It’s okay to feel angry, sad, frustrated, or scared. These emotions are normal and healthy. What isn’t healthy is repressing your emotions or pretending that they don’t exist. When you do this, you’re not being true to yourself. You’re also setting yourself up for problems in the future. Instead of apologizing for your feelings, learn to accept them.
This doesn’t mean that you have to act on them all the time, but it does mean that you should acknowledge their existence. By doing this, you’ll be more in touch with your true self, and you’ll be able to better cope with the challenges of life.
2. What makes you happy
In a world where so many people search for happiness, it is essential to remember that you should never apologize for what makes you happy.
Too often, people allow themselves to be pulled in different directions by outside forces, and as a result, they lose sight of what truly brings them joy. If you have found something that makes you happy, hold on to it tightly and never let it go.
Your happiness is yours, and nobody should want to take that away from you. Learning to be content with your satisfaction is an essential step to a fulfilling life. So never apologize for what makes you happy – instead, embrace it and let it fill your life with joy.
3. Being yourself
There is nothing more divine than being yourself. You are a unique individual with a specific set of talents, qualities, and quirks that make you who you are. When you apologize for being yourself, you are effectively saying that there is something wrong with you – that you are not good enough the way you are.
But the truth is that you are perfect just as you are. You were born to shine brightly in this world, and to suppress your true self is to do a disservice to yourself and the world around you. So embrace who you are, and never apologize for being yourself. The world needs your light.
4. Standing up for yourself and what you believe in
Standing up for what you believe in can be scary, but it is so important. When you allow yourself to be bullied or taken advantage of, you are teaching the world that it is okay to do that to you. But when you stand up for yourself, you are showing the world that you will not tolerate being treated in a less than respectful way. It will remind people that they need to treat you with the same respect that they would want for themselves.
So never apologize for standing up for yourself or what you believe in – instead, use your voice to speak your truth and show the world that no one will not silence you.
5. Taking care of yourself first
Caring for yourself is one of the most important things you can do. It’s not selfish to put your needs first; it’s a form of self-love. When you take care of yourself, you can show up in the world as your best self.
You have more energy and focus on putting towards your goals, and you can be present for the people you care about. Caring for yourself also allows you to set boundaries and limits. By setting boundaries, you can create space for what’s truly important to you. So don’t apologize for taking care of yourself first. It’s essential for your well-being, and it benefits everyone in your life.
6. Saying no
We live in a world that is constantly demanding more and more of our time and energy. Whether it’s work, family, or social obligations, there always seems to be something that needs our attention.
As a result, it can be easy to push ourselves beyond our limits and try to do everything. However, this is not sustainable in the long run, and it’s essential to learn how to say no.
When you are overwhelmed, you become resentful and anxious, leading to burnout. It can be challenging to stand up for ourselves, but it’s important to remember that we are worthy of our own time and energy. Learning to say no can help us create healthy boundaries and protect our well-being.
In conclusion, there are six things you should never apologize for: being happy, being yourself, standing up for yourself, taking care of yourself, and saying no. These are all essential for living a fulfilled and meaningful life. So never be afraid to embrace them.
A Personal Message From Shamonique
I grew up always being very conscious about other people’s feelings, and in a way, I was always apologetic for things that I did or said, even if they didn’t bother me. I guess you can say I was a people pleaser.
It wasn’t until I got older that I realized that I was robbing myself of my own happiness. I realized that it was my right to live a happy life on my terms and that I didn’t need to apologize for it.
I also realized that I had been apologizing for being myself. For too long, I had allowed myself to be silenced by the people around me. But I finally found my voice, and I started speaking up for what I believed in.
Lastly, I learned to put myself first. I started setting boundaries and saying no to things that didn’t serve me. And as a result, my life became more fulfilling and meaningful.
So if you’re struggling with any of these things, know that you’re not alone. We all have our journey to travel, and there’s no shame in taking your time. Just remember to be gentle with yourself and to keep moving forward.
As you start to manifest the things you desire in your life, always know that you deserve them. You are worthy of happiness, love, and respect. So never apologize for going after what you want. And never let anyone silence you. It’s your life, and you have the power to create your reality.
So go out there and live your best life – unapologetically.
