Thanks for tuning in to the Social Motivated podcast. On today's episode, we are discussing a simple but powerful exercise of understanding and seeing the true you. Who do you see in the mirror is the same way others see who you are. The biggest aspect of the exercise is allowing yourself to escape the dreaded negative self-talk and forcing yourself to find positive in your life to help see the true you.

In today’s episode, we are discussing seeing the true you! Why is it so hard for us as humans to fully accept and see who we truly are? Especially when others may precede or view us in different ways.

You might be sitting there and you are like ya that sort of sounds like me; why do we as humans care so much about what others view of ourselves? If it is, our life, why should we give two fs about that?
Well, the thing is, we, as Human beings, are defined by nature as social animals. That's why we naturally care so much of what others think of us: We want to feel like we belong or to feel accepted and to bond with the other members of our social society.
(A good way to look at it) Especially in today’s technological world, we live in.
