Tackling peer pressure is a common challenge faced by individuals, especially by teens when the desire to fit in and be accepted by peers is strong. One way to handle peer pressure is by building self-confidence and a strong sense of self-awareness.
By understanding your values, and beliefs, can make decisions that align with their own principles rather than succumbing to worldly influences. Additionally, surrounding oneself with supportive friends who respect individual choices and encourage positive behavior can help in resisting negative peer pressure.
Furthermore, meditation can help with helping in achieving these qualities. You can develop stronger self-confident and ability to stand up for yourself. The outer world won't affect you when you develop these qualities.
Through daily meditation and through achieving thoughtless awareness, you can be stronger amongst your values and beliefs. What others say won't matter too much, because you are comfortable with being yourself. Not only that, but meditation can help strengthen your nervous system which will let you make more rational decisions and be more aware of what is right and wrong. Therefore, meditation can help overcome peer pressure and fear of being fit in other's eyes and replace it with a more confident and comfortable lifestyle.
