10 Things that can Wreck your Life

1. Not living in the moment. Always wishing you were somewhere else, doing something different with other people.

2. Blaming your problems on your past. Although the past affects us, it need not define us. We can choose, decide and act – and take control of our lives. Don’t let the heartache from the past define who you become.

3. Running away from problems. It’s crazy just to bury your head in the sand and act like things are fine when you’re dealing with a mess. Face reality, take action, and work to turn life round.

4. Being ungrateful. Being thankful sets you free in your heart and mind. It inspires all that’s good - and, also, oils relationships. But an ungrateful person will wear others down. It destroys your spirit, so you feel sad and depressed.

5. Being angry and bitter. Refusing to forgive, and bearing grudges against others, will slowly poison your life and your personality. It’s much better to release them and to focus, instead, on living a happy and fulfilling life.

6. Letting your expectations rule your life. Life rarely goes smoothly and according to plan – and people disappoint us and let us down. Accepting this is normal takes some tension out of life.

7. Disrespecting yourself and others. Every single person deserves respect, and every single person is fighting their own battle. So focus on being kind, understanding and forgiving.

8. Neglecting important relationship. A relationship that’s built on unconditional love – where a person accepts us for who and what we are

– is truly a gift and is worth fighting for. Don’t take it for granted

– recognise that it’s a gift.

9. Loving people who are bad for us. Not every person will build into your life. Be aware of those who who’ll use you, or who want to bring you down, or who want to hurt you, or destroy your confidence.

10. Never taking risks. If you always play it safe, you’ll find you end up going nowhere. You must be ready to take risks - or you will miss so much in life.

ways to start feeling again

sit in the sun without anything to do, feel the heat of the rays hit your skin, realize that this sunlight has travelled a very long way to reach you

walk around barefoot and try to feel as much of the ground under your feet as you can, notice every rock and blade of grass

sit quietly for a while and notice the touch of breath in your nostrils, feel how the air gets cooler as you inhale and warmer as you exhale

drive around aimlessly and blast some of your favorite songs, scream/sing along to them and feel the vibrations of your favorite lyrics as they change the air in your throat and around you, feel that the music is healing you from the inside out

stay away from alcohol or drugs for a few days, try to be as aware and present as you can in every moment, stop trying to numb or dull your senses

eat a few meals without any distractions, notice every bite and taste every flavor that covers your tongue, be grateful for it all

look up at the stars and the moon, understand how small we all are and how immense the universe is, realize what a miracle everything is, let your heart swell with amazement and admiration for life itself

ok this is actually cool bc doing all of this is a technique called “mindful thinking” that is extremely useful for people with anxiety disorders and dissociation disorders and stuff!

A Bumpy Road: My Situation One Year After Graduating from University and How I Got Here

A Bumpy Road: My Situation One Year After Graduating from University and How I Got Here

I graduated from university with an MA in French and Spanish in June last year. I was proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to see what graduate life had in store for me, the challenging but rewarding new career I was going to start now that I had my shiny new degree.

Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out as I had expected. I was unemployed and living in my dad’s house for 3 months before I…

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 that nothing 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 yourself.

4. Don’t escape into distractions like being busy all the time as that only briefly covers 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 you’re worthy of a happy and full life. You deserve your goals and dreams. Decide to work to make them real.

There are far too many silent sufferers. Not because they don’t yearn to reach out, but because they’ve tried and found no one who cares.

Travel Stories – The First Time I Ever Travelled Alone (Part 1)

The first time I ever decided to travel in Europe by myself I was 20 years old and already living in France as a requirement of my university degree. I’d had some amazing experiences in France, having met a lot of people who were at a similar stage in life as I was and having tried and experienced many new things. I’d travelled with some of these new people to Morocco (we took a BlaBlaCar from…

“Do you want to talk about it or be distracted from it” is honestly the best thing you can say to me when I say im sad/in pain etc.

[luckytwodollarbill-deactivated2]

this is really good advice to say to anyone who is upset

[elaxisfae]

Alsooo may I add: “do you want advice or do you just want to vent?” Is also good to add because often unsoliticited advice can further hurt someone who really just wanted a listening ear.
