For some people it comes easy! Others, not so much. Maintaining your well-being and mental state can be a complete obstacle. About 5% of adults struggle with their mental conditions, which is equivalent to about 44 million people who are out in the world with similar issues. This statistic is identifying adults alone, so you could only imagine how much the number would skyrocket if you included minors. One thing you should collect from this information is that you are NOT alone. Anyone reading this that may be going through self-doubts, low confidence, depression or just being plain unhappy deserve my insights about how to lift yourself up out of that dark hole and crush those bad feelings under your feet. The difficulty in addressing this topic is the sheer variability it could obtain. Every individual gets affected and experiences situations differently and to a wide range of extents. It’s important to note that you are 100% entitled to your feelings, and if you want to be in control of them, then you need to embrace them. Putting yourself in perspective of others can give you a different understanding of the situation. For me personally, taking a step back and thinking before I act helps me not make mistakes. Acting only upon your feelings can be a very anti-productive attribute. Being in control of yourself involves actions that you make, in which you won’t regret in the future. Staying true to your duties and responsibilities will aid you in climbing that ladder towards a stress-free future. When feeling low, something to remind yourself is that it will not last forever. Life includes constant up and down emotions. That being said, practicing a positive mind set can really get you to a balanced point amongst all those emotions being felt. A way to start practicing a positive mentality and having a good outlook on life would be to point out and recognize when something is good or the positives in general. This might sound obvious but not everyone does this when they’re going through rough times. Reach out to the ones you trust, and conversate with them about it. What I have learned over the years is that it’s never a good idea to keep things that bother you, to yourself. Bottling up everything only results in explosions or episodes of rage, anger, sadness, and even spite. These are the feelings that I like to keep my distance from because without them, my day to day life is very much enjoyable. I would love to see comments, questions, or insights about any personal experiences you would like to share. This is a safe place to discuss any struggles, trauma, or negative experiences that you would like to grow from. Let’s all practice self-care, physically and emotionally. You deserve confidence and joy.
