Last night, I echoed four of the eight things that can harm your mental health. I got positive feedbacks which leads me to pursue sharing the other four. We stopped on number four last night so now let us start with number five.

5. You're constantly comparing yourself to others.

This is unavoidable as everyday in our lives, we tend to compete with our friend or our classmate or our neighbor. We easily spot what is missing in our lives and what is present in others. We tend to be envious of other's green pastures. They say that it is not really bad to compare yourself to others as long as you would make them your inspiration to work smart and hard to be able to achieve what they have achieved.

Comparison is a thief of joy. It makes us a bitter person and it would sip out all of our confident juices and all of our energy. We should learn how to use it for our own benefit. We might compare but let us make sure that by comparing, we mean that we are pinpointing some of the goals that we wanted to happen in our lives too.

6. Not showing gratitude

We are currently living one of our prayers while we are having another prayer now. Tomorrow we will also be living another prayer. So from time to time, there must be a place of gratitude. There is something that we should be thankful of. It is just that we became so focus on our goal and unanswered prayers that we tend to fail to acknowledge what is right in front of us.

By showing gratitude, we attract more blessings because gratitude reciprocates. So be grateful and count your blessings and name them one by one. I bet you can't keep up all those lists because God has been blessing us since day one and it would be impossible to count how many times did He bless us.

7. Staying in a toxic relationship or friendship

These days we have no room for any toxic relationship and friendship. Life is too complicated to be having issues with friends and partner. We have a lot to deal in life and the least we can do is to keep the people who gives us peace and who keeps us sane. We should never think twice to remove and let go of the people who are not really meant to be in our lives. If they only bring you stress, leave them. Be kinder to yourself and choose he people that choose you.

8. You sabotage yourself.

Sometimes we create fake scenarios in our head just to give ourselves the satisfaction of being an overthinker. We doubt ourselves too often and we don't show what we are capable of. The thing is no one would ever love or believe us if we don't do it for ourselves first. People will love us and believe in us because they radiate our energy. The energy that values oneself and practice self-love.

Let us be kinder to ourselves and love ourselves a little extra. We should be confident of our capabilities and we should value ourselves. The process will always start in us then it will radiate and equally multiplied to the people that comes close to us.

That is all for today friends! I hope your conciousness have been awaken and all the lessons that you have learned will be kept in your heart and that we may all be able to lived by it everyday. Let us be kinder to ourselves because we only live once and our life is unconparable to each and everyone.

Thank you for reading. Until then!
