In this article we will look into the steps you can take to become a more fun individual.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2> Steps </h2><br /><ol><li> Write down a list of your current personality traits. Be as honest as you can. Knowing where you start is essential to making changes in your personality.<br /></li><li> Write a list of the traits you see yourself having as a more exciting and open personality (Fun, smiling, wild, positive, optimistic, energetic etc.).<br /></li><li> List the people who have these traits and prioritize those you would like to spend time with. Remember that who you spend time with greatly affects how your personality develops.<br /></li><li> Smile and laugh as often as you can.<br /></li><li> Be positive and optimistic about everything. Notice the "silverlining" in every situation. Positive people will be attracted by it and cynicism is a very conservative trait.<br /></li><li> Dress less conservatively. If you have a refined style and wish to keep it; try to experiment with brighter and more unique colors. It will make you stand out and seem like a more fun individual.<br /></li><li> Read books about fun topics such as how to make unique cocktails, exotic places to travel or how to become a great lover.<br /></li><li> Make your next holiday an unusual one. Go to an exotic place and do things you would not normally do such as backpacking, climbing a mountain or going on a jungle safari. Or if you have never been on a "party-holiday", this is a good option too.<br /></li><li> Host a themed party and show up in a daring and imaginative costume.<br /></li><li> For a more advanced transformation; try to discover the underlying beliefs and attitudes you currently possess that have formed you and see if some of them are not according to who you really are.<br /></li></ol><br /><br /><a name="Tips"></a><h2> Tips </h2><br /><ul><li>Make small, but decisive steps. Showing up in a pink costume on Wednesday when you wore a suit on Tuesday will make you seem silly and your transformation will not be taken seriously by your peers.<br /></li><li>Be true to yourself. Push the limits of what you are capable of. But don't do something that will destroy your self-respect.<br /></li></ul><br /><br /><a name="Warnings"></a><h2> Warnings </h2><br /><ul><li>Remember that during your transition you may meet resistance from the people around you who react negatively to your sudden changes. Do not let this stop you; in time people will accept and enjoy your new self much more. Those who cannot accept your new personality may not be your true friends after all.<br /></li><li>Just because you want to be less conservatively doesn't mean you have to go overboard. Dress carefully, and mind what you wear in certain places.<br /></li></ul><br /><br /><a name="Related_wikiHows"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2493834473909275771-1884685751286148422?l=howtostopbeingaconservativepers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Jonesnoreply@blogger.com0
