Striving for freedom is a natural human desire. Often people strive to have money, fame, power, to earn someone else's recognition and love, so that there are more opportunities and fewer restrictions. At the same time, freedom can act as an external and as an internal, psychological factor.

Step 1
People often think that they will become free as soon as they gain wealth, get a high position, go abroad, etc. Of course, some of these expectations may be true. However, remember that no one and nothing but yourself can make you feel free, or vice versa. After all, the main thing, nevertheless, is your attitude. Regardless of external circumstances, analyze your thoughts and feelings. You are free to choose them, although at first it may seem extremely difficult.
Step 2
Be aware if you are guided by your choices or acting under pressure from someone. Freedom, among other things, implies the ability to make choices and independently manage your life. If at the moment you cannot live on your own, then you have something to strive for. This does not mean forgetting about a sense of duty and responsibility. Learn to make your own decisions and make less excuses.
Step 3
Make your self-worth independent of what other people think of you. Of course, the opinion of relatives and friends can testify to something. But ultimately, what matters is how you feel about yourself. You evaluate yourself according to a certain set of criteria, attitudes, about which others may not have any idea. Other people judge by their own criteria, and they are not necessarily objective.
Step 4
Rely on yourself. If necessary, you can ask for help and receive it from others. But only you can help yourself in the best possible way. You can completely rely on yourself. This gives you independence and gets rid of the victim position. Excessive hopes and expectations from others are often the cause of frustration.
Step 5
Try to get joy out of life. Do not give up your favorite activities, hobbies, in order to give all the time to work or family. Take time for yourself.
Step 6
Analyze often if you like which direction you are heading. If something does not suit you, reconsider your life plans, set new goals and start moving towards them. This increases the likelihood that you will feel like the master of your life and will be satisfied with it.
Step 7
Take care of more freedom and independence in a purely practical sense. Try to stand firmly on your feet, do something. Look for ways to increase your income and manage money correctly, invest. Invest in self-education - this way you will always be a sought-after specialist.
