Why We Should All Consider A More Bohemian Lifestyle Have the courage to follow your own ideals and live your life to the fullest. In order to live life to the fullest, you've got to be willing to take a risk once in a while. Have courage and know that the risk is worth it. Free your artistic self and surprise yourself. Take photos, take notes, jot down your thoughts, paint, or do pottery. There are a million ways we can act out our feelings just try it. Speak out loudly for what you believeĀ in. Don't hide your feelings and thoughts just because they might not seem appropriate for some people. Be true to yourself. Stop believing in materialism Owning a lot of things doesn't necessarily make one happy. On the contrary, it is not a rare occurrence that this stuff gets in our way and becomes a burden. So, what exactly is the point of all those possessions we accumulate over the years? Dare to live a more unconventional life. Who tells us how we have to live our lives? High school, college, work, family, kids. For some of us, this might sound wonderful which is fine. For some of us, however, it doesn't. It's just not us. So why should we force ourselves? Be proud of being different. You simply cannot identify yourself with the "normal," ordinary way people around you talk, act, think, and live? You feel like you are kind of weird in some way? Well, congratulations. Be proud of it. Embrace your body. Bohemians are comfortable with nakedness because they are comfortable in their bodies. Imagine how much happier we would all be if we could just accept our bodies the way they look and see them as the beautiful things they are. - by colleen
