Three Tips on how to be Indie.
The most enjoyable part of living an indie lifestyle is the freedom that comes with it. With no restrictions on how to live, the whole point of following the indie lifestyle is to support the individuality of a creative mind.
The indie lifestyle is more than a trend and is often used as a way for creative people to express their individuality. However, there are many set backs that stop those who desire to live a drama free lifestyle.
The purpose of this article is to give tips to those who would like to approach the lifestyle, and also to those who lack the confidence.
• 1. Be Independent.
Living the indie lifestyle is all about expressing creativity and not following the crowd. Being independent and showing the world how creative and unique you can be can be is a fun an interesting way of introducing yourself to the indie lifestyle.
Self expression is often overlooked in today's day and age. Society has deemed the creative unfit for showing off their talents. One way to step into the indie lifestyle is to make a change and choose to do things that others would not. Having your independence is very important and it is something that separates you from the mundane lifestyle.
Once you step out your comfort zone and embrace what the world of the indie lifestyle has to offer you, you will come to realize that there are no limits, and you can do what you please. Whether its creating prose, use your creativity to step outside of the box and make a twist on what normal authors or fiction use. Being indie is about being unique. Take the rules and bend them a little. You will be amazed at the results.
2. Old Is The New You.
This defines really what the indie lifestyle is all about. As well as being different and showing the world how independent you can be, the indie lifestyle goes much deeper than just that. Do you find yourself drawn to items that a hold a past? Being indie involves love for all things lost and forgotten.
The indie life is all about loving things that deserve much more attention than the world is paying them. Be it a new rising musician, or a new author who isn't gaining much attention, the indie lifestyle helps support those who are struggling to get known.
Showing support to those who participate in the indie lifestyle is a great way for creatives to show their appreciation for a possible new rising star. And even if they are not the next JK Rowling, at least you have taken the time to support what they do.
3. DIY Obsession.
Being indie, or if you are somebody who has taken an interest in being indie, then you will already know that you are a creative person and that the indie lifestyle is just there to support your chosen profession.
Creating new things and playing around with new materials is a great way for one to discover themselves. With DIY, you can do anything as there are no limits to a creatives mind. Don't be afraid to deviate from the norm and express the skills that you were given.
Whether its designing clothes or having fun with a paint brush, DIY is a great experiment to those who are seeking to discover their true passions. Not only is DIY simple but it also helps save money as well, especially if you are living on a budget.
The indie life is all about having fun with bold colours that normally wouldn't match, wild patterns that clash, you get the hint? The indie lifestyle is all about taking the rules, bending them and then shaping them into one of your own unique creations. Don't be afraid to break the rules. Rules were made to be broken!
