We all wear masks.

In the office, when out with friends, and at parties.

And that’s ok. Those masks aren’t who we are, but they make us feel comfortable. They make it easier for us to connect with people and present a version of ourselves that is appropriate in the workplace.

Behind each mask lies a story. Some told, some untold, mysterious, beautiful, and unique. And it’s those stories that tell us more about the person behind the mask.

But sometimes it can be difficult to separate who you truly are from the mask you wear. It becomes difficult to understand which mysterious story is yours and which one you have merely borrowed.

And sometimes that’s ok. But there will be a time when you will want to know the person you really are. So, to make it easier for you when that time comes, here are some tips that will help you reconnect with yourself and keep track of your actual story.

1)  Take a break from your environment and your commitments. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy. Even a couple of hours doing what you love will make a huge difference.

2)  Be yourself around those you love and trust. You tend to lose yourself when you keep the mask on, all day, every day. So make it a point to be yourself around those you are comfortable with.

3)  Make sure you have an idea of who you really are and be comfortable with that. If you aren’t sure or you’re not very comfortable, see what can be done to fix that.

The point here is very simple. Your story is precious. It is unique. So don’t lose out on it or on the person you truly are.
