Nowadays, stress is getting its way to a person that ended to depressed. How can we stay out of it? Can we manage to be stress-free?
Before, I am stressed that sometimes I feel immobilized. I can't think straight and if I work on something it will end up to a mess. So to gain me again, I have things working on and to remind myself of these things.
Learning to love myself and accept my flaws.
Before, I am insecure about myself, not like the other girls out there who are confident with their figure. They are smart and pretty unlike me. I always hide for I'm afraid I might be bullied and I'm ashamed of course to go outside. Since then, I don't know how to mingle with others, and my insecurities get harder to deal with.
I noticed that I'm not growing up and I felt that it did not give me the chance to love myself because of my flaws. I asked myself why should I feel this way? Why not accept myself for what I am? My mother talked to me, she said I should be confident and not listen to other people what they say. Their opinion won't help me. That if ever I heard bad about myself, I should not listen to them and just ignore them because it won't help me grow.
After that day, I change myself little by little. I want to accept my flaws and be confident in them. I'm telling myself that everyone is unique so no need to be insecure about someone else, it will only destroy yourself.
Believing that I'm worthy
Believing in oneself will make you find your worth. Even if others won't see your worth, then you should be the one to see it. Never down your self instead, lift yourself.
Always look into the mirror and tell your reflection that you're worthy of everything. Don't mind other people dragging you down.
Don't be afraid of saying "No" and be confident while declining.
Not every time you should say yes though your principle been stepped by others. Never say yes even if you like to say no.
Before, I always say yes though I don't want to, it is because I want to please someone and I don't want them to be disappointed with me. But then I realize, why should I want to please them when in the end they still have something to say. So, I change myself and try to decline politely if they want something from me especially if see that it might ruin me.
After learning that way, I feel free. That I don't need to live pleasing others.
Forgiving my past mistakes.
We are human so it's natural to have mistakes. But always see to it that you learned from that mistake. Don't make that mistake twice. And if you done a mistake, free yourself from forgiving. Forgive your old you and shine your new you. Cause mistake doesn't define you and your future as long as you make your mistake right from wrong. There is always a lot of time to change and accept own mistake and forgive yourself.
Remove toxicity in my life.
I was surrounded by toxic people before. I can't breathe cause I feel like I've been leashed in the neck. My husband's relatives are manipulative and I can't do things on my own. They like to dictate and want their wants to be followed. So my husband said, we should be out of the town and live away from them.
We then live away from them and now we feel so free. We are now in peace living with our son. No one dictates us and we can't hear something from them. I don't want to follow their style of living. And I don't want to live with toxicity.
Not limiting and doubting myself.
Before I'm very negative in every decision and I don't believe in myself. My husband always says I made it right but for me, it's not. I always doubt myself if I can make something right or not. Thankfully, my husband always lifts me and cheers me up. Until I learned to never doubt myself and be positive. I start my day optimistic and with good vibes to make my day better and light.
Thankful that I found someone who teaches me all of this.
