Self-expression defines how we share ourselves with others and how we express our individuality. Having creative outlets for self-expression can lift your mood and even improve your thinking. Also, self-expression can help you live a fulfilling, less stressful life because it centers around authenticity. When you feel like you’re not faking things just to fit in, you may gain confidence and feel more like yourself.
But in the daily grind of coursework, exams, and playing on or cheering for your school’s teams, individuality can take a back seat. Here are a few creative ways to express yourself every day.
Listen to Music
Social groups sometimes form around shared tastes in music. When you like the same bands as your friends, it makes attending performances and creating playlists more fun. Sometimes, sharing your musical tastes with friends leads to some surprising discoveries. For example, you may find out that your friends like a musical genre you never expected from them, and you can broaden your musical interests.
If you’re musically talented, you may already write your own music. That’s one of the many creative ways to express yourself every day.
Change Your Clothing
Developing a style can be a rocky road, with several failed experiments along the way. But using clothes to show the world who you are is an effective, non-verbal way to communicate your style. Perhaps you have a signature piece, like a hat or scarf or a favorite color that brightens your day.
Your clothes might even have an icebreaker story behind them—when someone says they like your jacket or your jeans, it’s a chance to make a friend by telling them the jacket came from your cool uncle, or you did the embroidery on the jeans yourself.
Personalized Products and Customized Gear
You can personalize an unbelievable variety of things, from t-shirts to mugs to candles, via online shops specializing in personalized products. You can choose colors, fonts, and messages that display your name or a quote that defines you.
You can also apply customizations to your gear. For example, you can add monograms to your backpacks and hats. Or you can turn a plain longboard into a work of art. Knit colorful cozies for your golf clubs, or trick out your bike with accessories, like painted bells, baskets, or lighted wheels.
Try a New Dance
Legends exist on the dance floor. Cutting loose to your favorite tunes isn’t only great exercise; it can be an emotional outlet. Your signature moves and smooth style tell people you’re uninhibited, elegant, or graceful. Learn a new type of dancing, like swing, ballroom, ballet, or tap, to take it to the next level.
Getting comfortable in your own skin is an evolutionary process. Eventually, you’ll settle on a form of self-expression, from writing to music to dance to fashion, that connects deeply with who you are.
