Make Your Damn Bed

When we build a barrier to protect us from feeling hard feelings, they become more challenging to approach in general. So, as a result, we end up completely avoiding things that could potentially trigger that fear and then before we know it, we miss out on an entire life because we didn’t make room for discomfort. 

Before we realize what we have done - instead of avoiding the fear, we have completely centered that fear as the main character in our story. 

We have made every choice in our life around avoiding the fear instead of simply facing it. We made it the star of the show instead of just another commercial break.

Think about when you do get distracted - throughout the day - even if it’s good thoughts or positive distractions, it can easily interrupt our flow.

Genuinely though - there are perks to many lifestyles you would hate to have - and cons to many lifestyles you would love to have. Focus less on what you’re missing out on - and focus in on what you actually have. And if there is something you’re genuinely feeling like you’re missing out on - go after that thing! And if it’s meant to be - it’ll happen for you.

Change your language to improve your mindset. 

YOU are not fat. You have fat. YOU are not depressed. You have depression. YOU are not insecure. You feel insecure. 

You are far more than the identities you have created for yourself. And you need to change your language to reflect that. 

Shift your mindset through shifting your language.

We don’t outgrow our desire for feeling seen and validated. We simply get less of that external validation because we have seemingly learned our lessons already - but that doesn’t mean we don’t all have growth to be made and behaviors to be improved upon. So why do we suddenly think when we’re a certain age - we no longer respond to positive cues?

Encouragement, like motivation, is something that needs refreshing daily. It’s not to be dismissed as something that only kids and sports teams benefit from. We all do better with positive reinforcement, I promise. Start offering it to yourself and see how quickly things shift.

Human connection is so important - this is why we like to meet up with friends for drinks or family for dinners - so don’t skimp out on connecting with yourself, too.

 A lot of us live in an all or nothing mentality all of the time. We see things in black and white despite our conscious awareness of the fact that most of the world is gray. Each fresh breath is an opportunity to begin again. Every time you start to feel hopeless, remind yourself it’s only hopeless when you stop holding onto hope - then grab onto that hope and make it happen. Don’t guilt yourself when you fall off track, because getting off track is normal and healthy. But don’t avoid getting back on just because you needed a moment to yourself.

If you’re the giving type, it probably means you struggle with receiving. I encourage you to take a step back form your identity as the generous friend for a while and allow yourself to accept things as they present themselves. Be it compliments, help, or physical gifts - you are deserving and worthy of these things.

Be realistic with your expectations, be realistic when you set plans, be realistic when you do literally everything in order to save yourself a lifetime of drama in the future.  Getting real with yourself takes time and practice and trial and error. Don’t be afraid to try things a few times before admitting it’s not for you at this particular time in your life. And watch how much energy, time, and life frees up for you.
