Girl Pow-R’s “Signs” is a song that is all about loving yourself and being independent. Achieving emotional independence is an important and necessary aspect of life. It is the process by which we come to understand our feelings, our reactions to those feelings, and how those reactions affect us.
Emotional independence allows us to be objective in the way that we view ourselves and the world around us. We can handle difficult situations with a sense of ease and clarity instead of getting derailed by unfounded emotions that cloud one’s thoughts and judgement. This is especially necessary when dealing with other people. We’ve all experienced one heartbreak or another which makes us lose faith in humanity.
You start wondering if you’re good enough, and that’s a scary thought. Nobody ever wants to feel that way, and sometimes we begin to seek the validation of other people to make ourselves feel better. However, sometimes that validation affects us in ways we may not notice. Girl Pow-R’s “Signs” is all about seeing the signals, the bright crimson of the flags waving just above people. Our need to be validated by others sometimes leads us to purposely ignore these red flags or subconsciously not even notice them at all. So the question is, how do we achieve emotional independence?
One thing to note is sometimes, people confuse emotional independence with emotional isolation. Emotional isolation is the opposite of emotional independence and refers to the lack of social connections and intimacy. The first thing to consider in achieving emotional independence concerning other people is to ask yourself “Are they worth it?” Is it worth sharing your personal and emotional space with someone else? Will they make you uncomfortable? And what benefit exactly will they bring to your space?
These questions are necessary because one thing becomes two things and then it escalates into something far greater than good. This is what Girl Pow-R’s “Signs” is trying to say. That we shouldn’t let people stay while they hurt us. We have to break free from the toxicity.
Another point that is just as important is feeling comfortable on your own. Solitude does not equal loneliness. Solitude simply means being the source of your peace and happiness. It is amazing to have a hobby that is yours alone, be it reading, painting, writing etc. Having things you love that you can enjoy by yourself is important, as it means you don’t need other people to feel happy, and you can find satisfaction by yourself!
Having emotional independence also means feeling comfortable in your own skin. Your self-worth is determined by you, and no one else. Many times, people put on a persona because they don’t want to appear “weird” or look undesirable, but the truth is, a persona cannot be kept up forever, eventually, you’ll crack under the pressure you set by yourself, honestly, people always notice when you aren’t being genuine.
It is always better to just be yourself. Girl Pow-R’s “Signs” is all about staying true to yourself no matter what. Pretending is exhausting so why bother? Your real personality will attract the right people. People who can appreciate who you truly are.
Girl Pow-R’s “Signs” is a call for self-love and achieving inner peace by cutting out toxicity from your life through emotional independence. You can get a few tips on how to build that independence on MindBodyGreen.
