18 Powerful Ways to Find Your Voice

How do you find your voice? Sometimes it takes a while to figure out.

It might be difficult because we have been told by society what our voice is, and if we stray from that path, people tell us that we are being too weird or not fitting in.

In this blog post, I am going to give 18 different ways of finding your voice so that you can stop feeling stuck and start living life on your own terms.

1. Acknowledge and follow your intuition.

Your intuition is a powerful thing, and it will always lead you in the right direction if you listen to it. If you don't know what your intuition is telling you, ask for guidance and be open to receiving it.

The more connected you are to your intuition, the easier it will be to find your voice.

2. Do what you love, even if it is weird.

Find out all the things that make your heart sing and go after them! It might be a little bit scary at first - but who cares? Don't let other people's opinions stop you from following what makes you happy.

The more time we spend doing our passions, the easier it becomes to find our voice.

3. Be yourself, always.

This one is probably the most important - be yourself, always. Don't try to be someone you're not, it's exhausting and no one will like you for it in the end.

Be authentically you, quirks and all, and people will start to respond to that in a positive way.

4. Stop caring about what other people think.

This goes hand in hand with the last point - once you stop caring so much about what others think of you, you will start to feel a lot freer. It's okay to make mistakes and it's okay to be different!

Embrace your authentic self and let it shine.

5. Take a risk.

Risk is scary but so worth it! Taking risks will help push you out of your comfort zone and open up the possibilities in your life for what might be possible if you just take that first step into something new.

It doesn't have to be anything huge - maybe just saying hello to someone new or going on an adventure by yourself. Just take a risk and see what happens!

6. Follow your dreams.

This ties into the previous point - if you follow your dreams, they will become real! Dream big and give yourself permission to go after what it is that makes you happy.

When we do this, life becomes so much easier and our voice gets clearer because we aren't stuck in fear about whether or not something is possible anymore.

7. Be bold.

Be bold in what you do, how you speak to others, and the decisions that you make. If we don't take risks or show up in this world with confidence then nothing will ever change for us - so be bold!

Be strong and unapologetic about who you are because people need to see your strength in order to find their own.

8. Let go of your past.

This one is hard but so important! Living in the past keeps us stuck and makes it impossible for us to find our voice because we are too caught up on what has already happened instead of living fully in this moment right now.

Letting go means that you allow yourself to move forward even though you might feel scared or uncertain. It's a process, but it's worth it in the end.

9. Connect with your inner child.

Your inner child is the part of you that is playful, creative, and full of life. Connecting with her will help you find your voice because she knows exactly what it feels like to be authentically herself without judgment. Spend time doing things that make you happy and let yourself feel free - there's no need for rules or restrictions when you're hanging out with your inner child.

10. Find your tribe.

We all need people in our lives that understand and support us - these are called our tribe. Find people who accept you for who you are, and be there for them as well!

The more connected we are to others, the easier it becomes to find our voice.

11. Get out of your comfort zone.

If you want to find your voice, you need to get out of your comfort zone! This means trying new things, meeting new people, and expanding your horizons.

It's okay to be a little scared, but don't let that stop you from doing something that might be really fun or interesting.

12. Embrace your vulnerability.

Being vulnerable means that we are open and exposed, which can be a scary thing. But it's also what allows us to connect with others in a deeper way and experience life more fully.

Embrace your vulnerability and share what you're feeling with the world.

13. Let go of unrealistic expectations.

Expectations are so much more powerful than they seem! If we have high expectations for ourselves, it can be impossible to find our voice because when things don't live up to these standards then we beat ourselves up instead of trying again.

Let go of unrealistic expectations and replace them with realistic ones that you can actually achieve.

14. Express your feelings.

bottled up emotions will only make it harder for you to find your voice. If you want to communicate effectively, you need to express your feelings in a healthy way.

This might mean talking to someone trusted about what you're feeling or journaling about what's going on inside of you. Find ways to let it out, whatever that looks like for you!

15. Let yourself be free.

Take off the mask and just BE YOURSELF with no apologies attached. Don't worry so much about whether things are perfect or if people will judge you - just be yourself and don't let anyone else define who that is.

You are free to be anything you want, so take the time to figure out what makes you happy, go for it fully without apology!

16 . Surround yourself with people who support your dreams.

We all need a little help along the way - having supportive friends will make it so much easier to find your voice! Surround yourself with people who encourage you and will lift you up when things get tough.

17 . Be Authentic - follow your own path

Be honest about what matters most to you in life, because only by doing this can we be fully authentic. If society's expectations are not on your list, ignore them and follow your own path!

18 . Reflect

Your voice is unique to you - it's a reflection of who you are as an individual. The more time we spend looking within ourselves for answers about what makes us happy in the present moment, the easier it becomes to find our voice when things get tough or difficult.

Take some time for reflection, and see what comes up for you.

Final Thoughts

The voice you find will be unique to your story, it won’t come from following a formula or structure. You have the power to create a life that is true and authentic for yourself. 

I hope these tips help you in finding your voice - it's such an important thing to have in life, especially when we're trying to communicate our ideas and dreams. Remember that it's okay to be scared, but don't let that stop you from trying something new or interesting. The world needs your voice, so find it and use it proudly!
