Be Unapologetic – #BlogchatterA2Zchallenge2023

If there is something that I learnt in the later stages of my life, that is how to live my life unapologetically. I wish I had learnt this art or rather life skill earlier. Most of the time, I was always apologetic because I fulfilled my small wishes.

There was a time in my life, when I felt that I had to apologise to everyone because I did something that I loved doing.

Here is how I started living an unapologetic life.

For a few days, I started avoiding Social Media. Most of the times, it was because I used to be overwhelmed seeing everyone else doing well. That I always felt the need to apologises to everyone.

Once I took a break from the Social Media, I could really focus on what I wanted and what I could do. Sometimes, keeping a distance from the Social Media really helps. It gives you time to introspect and work on really what I want.

Focusing on myself, helped me become more determined to achieve my goals. Once the main point of focus was my goals, I was least affected with what people around me thi
