Unsaid feelings

[psych-facts]

The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.

I realized that I was holding on to something that didn’t exist anymore. That the person I missed didn’t exist anymore. People change.

At the end of the day we can endure much more than we think we can.

Frida Kahlo (via psych-facts)

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

What to do with Feelings of Emptiness

1. Don’t attack yourself for feeling negative and empty. Your feelings are reflectors of your inner hurt and pain.

2. Try to pinpoint the reason for the hole that’s in your heart – is it loss of purpose, or a lost relationship, or is it having no direction, or nothing that brings joy?

3. Ask yourself if you feel wanted, or are loved for who you are. It may be no-one’s valued or affirmed you for being “you”.

4. Don’t escape into distractions like being busy all the time as that only briefly covers up the wound that’s deep inside.

5. Listen carefully to your self talk – notice negative put downs, or a lack of self respect, or when you’re hard upon yourself.

6. Choose to build yourself up and focus more upon self care. Be compassionate and caring, and kind towards yourself.

7. Invest in relationships which build your self esteem, and which gently start to nurture and develop your true self.

8. Remind yourself that you are worthy of a happy and full life. You deserve your goals and dreams. Decide to work to make them real.

How to Feel More Contented with your Life

1. Take a moment to be grateful for something. What in your life is good, or makes you happy? Even if everything seems to suck, there must be at least one good thing. Find something, and begin by being grateful for that.

2. Catch yourself thinking, “This sucks.” It’s amazing how often people think this thought. It might be in different words, but if you catch yourself going down that road, stop and try and reverse the thinking. Find a way to see something good or beneficial in the crummy situation.

3. Find the little things that bring you joy. Find the simple things that make you happy, and focus on those rather than on what is wrong, or what you don’t have.

4. Identify things about yourself that you’re actually happy with. We tend to criticize and put ourselves down. Try and break that habit by asking yourself, “What do I do right? What am I good at? Make a list, and keep adding to every day. Then, start to focus on those things rather than on the negatives.

5. Use the same approach with others in your life. Instead of attacking them, or focusing on their flaws and shortcomings, ask yourself, “What is good about this person? What do I like about them?”

The mistakes you make now count. Not for everything, and not forever. But they do matter, and they shape you. If you take nothing else from what I’ve been through, at least remember this: make your choices well. Because you’ll always be accountable for them.

Progress is made by trial and failure; the failures are generally a hundred times more numerous than the successes ; yet they are usually left unchronicled.

Sometimes you can’t explain what you see in a person. It’s just the way they take you to a place where no one else can.

We can start over. Every day. We get second chances to become who we always wanted to be. We can leave our past behind or we can learn from it and honor it. We can decide. It’s never too late to change.

When thoughts arise, instead of regarding them as faults, recognize them to be empty and leave them just as they are.

There are some people who always seem angry, and continuously look for conflict. Walk away; the battle they are fighting isn’t with you, it is with themselves.

Even if you haven’t prayed much today. God loves you. Even if you haven’t prayed for a whole week. God still loves you. Even if you haven’t prayed for a month. God loves you.
