How to Overcome Limiting Beliefs?

    

“I don’t have any experience”, “I’m not prepared”, “I won't be able to do that” and “I’m too old or too young for that” are examples of self-limiting beliefs that are toxic. Self-limiting beliefs limit us from gaining achievement in our careers and lives. But what are self-limiting beliefs? They are negative self-perceptions that live in our conscious and subconscious mind in past experiences, judgments by others, values and opinions of our family and friends, and even updates from social media.

Limiting beliefs are our comfort zone. They can greatly limit progress and success in our aims, both personally and professionally. It is these thoughts, whether conscious or unconscious, that we regard as simple truths. However, these negative thoughts, which control our journey towards life goals, can be overcome and replaced with more positive notes. By shifting your thinking, you can change everything too.

If you have beliefs that are keeping you behind, now is the time to mark them head-on. Stop letting them fester while keeping you up at night and stopping you from taking action toward your purpose in life.

Below is a method that I use with clients to identify, evaluate, and eliminate self-limiting beliefs.

1. Understand and Identify one of your limiting beliefs

The first step to overcoming your limiting beliefs is in understanding what they are. If you fear there may be various limitations, then start with the most comprehensive one and then repeat this step with each limiting belief. Self-limiting beliefs lead to easily get rooted in our conscious and subconscious and are rarely questioned. Flip the book and assess the validity of the self-limiting belief that you are carrying with you. Are there facts to carry it or is it the thought or opinion of a friend, family member, or co-worker

2. Eliminate self-limiting beliefs

Once we know what they are and where they come from, the next step is to eliminate serious self-limiting beliefs that are getting in your way.

Acquire an Alternative Viewpoint - One way to overcome a negative belief is to think of an alternative. For example, I started to think, “I’m a good content writer” and stopped living on struggles interpreting literature given its limited efficacy in my current work. Replacing negative thoughts is a key action to hitting back self-limiting beliefs.

Constantly challenge your Self-Limiting Beliefs to overcome - Another tip to overcoming self-limiting beliefs is to deliberately challenge them instead of sitting back in fear. For me, it was to post my first blog and to resume blogging to prove to myself that my old idea was illogical. Constantly challenging your old beliefs will start to prove they are wrong and help you move on.

Recite Daily Mantra -  Daily mantras or affirmations are another way to move past your self-limiting beliefs. Repeating a positive statement daily will help to reset your mind and take the offensive on your negative beliefs. Challenge the belief with an affirmation such as “I can do this", “I am powerful” and becoming your inspiration can boost you to persist.


3. Keep Self-Limiting Beliefs Dormant: It takes consistent, deliberate effort to overcome self-limiting beliefs. That same sense of intentionality is needed to keep them going. Be sure to spend time recognizing and addressing old beliefs that come up as well as new ones to reduce future roadblocks to your progress.

In addition to the steps above, another highly useful way to identify and overcome your limiting beliefs is with the support of mentoring and coaching.

This approach has several techniques used in the search for individual advancement. Part of that process is the result of self-knowledge and motivation, learning and understanding from those with a sense of success.

When you realize that you can improve your life through your beliefs, you will discover that you can remove toxic thoughts that earlier prevented you from reaching your goals. When a coach or mentor begins to focus on your skills and how they can grow, you will be inspired to eliminate limiting beliefs and achieve your goals.

I hope you found this post valuable and I encourage you to share this process with people nearby to you to help them improve their beliefs. Lastly, when you see people around you achieving and living by your new belief, praise them because even if you aren’t quite there yet, it’s reaffirming what you want is possible!

Why Boundaries are important in relationships and how to set them effectively?

   

Boundaries explain who you are in a relationship. Mainly, what you are and what you are not. The boundaries built in a relationship are meant to reveal where you end and someone else starts.

Boundaries are all around us. Their idea is to help us maintain a well-balanced and functional society. This is necessary because everyone is different and as usual, our needs, wants, and habits don’t line up.

Many people don't like the concept of setting boundaries in relationships, it seems to be a bad one or something unnecessary. The reason why they think boundaries in relationships are bad is that they think they keep people disconnected. However, this theory is very wrong.

On the contrary, it is important to have your boundaries in a relationship to have a loving and healthy relationship. The truth is that a relationship cannot be healthy if clear boundaries are not set and respected.

In a very simple way, boundaries show us where one thing ends and another begins. In a relationship, a boundary can take any form of a limit you set about what you are comfortable with and how you would prefer to be handled by others.

Healthy boundaries in relationships also mean taking responsibility for your feelings and lives. It also means being comfortable to not take responsibility for another person’s feelings and activities.

Also, setting boundaries helps to assure that a relationship is commonly relevant, respectful, and caring. Thus, healthy boundaries encourage partners to take each other’s feelings into account, seek consent from each other, and show gratitude.

Setting healthy boundaries is also a great way to respect your partner’s activities as well as their different ideas and views.

One of the benefits of setting healthy boundaries in relationships is the elimination of blames. The trend for one partner to blame the other is reduced. This is because boundaries leave no place for the deflection of the ownership of a problem.

The set boundaries support each partner to take responsibility for their part in any dispute, conflict, or wrong approach. This way, resolving conflicts becomes a lot easier for the partners.

So, the establishment and respect for personal boundaries in a relationship form good support for the development of strong emotional affection between partners.

How to set healthy boundaries effectively?

Setting boundaries will ultimately help reduce stress and assure that you have a healthy bond with your partner.

Here are 5 tips for setting healthy boundaries in your relationship.

Understand boundaries are healthy for your relationship.

Boundaries are an essential element of healthy relationships because they help to keep a balance between you and your partner. They also help reduce conflict, because they set an example of what you both expect from each other. Having boundaries can bring you closer to your partner because they keep open communication.

Be honest about what you need:

Communication is the key to a healthy relationship. Conversing openly is an important part of every healthy relationship. When discussing boundaries with your partner, being honest about what you are comfortable with or not comfortable with will help in knowing what you expect from them. You could even write down your expectations so it will be easy while sharing them with your partner.

Indicate When You Need Space

This tip is particularly relevant at the moment. If you’re spending a lot of time together mostly, be sure to interact with each other when you need time alone. It’s just as important to set aside time for yourself as it is to have quality time with the person you admire.

Listen to What Your Partner Needs

Since you expect your partner to notice your boundaries, it’s also important to thoroughly listen to their needs as well. Relationships are a two-way road, so you will need to listen to the boundaries they want to set and discuss those as well. Remember, that in a relationship, you should be able to say anything, but the way you say it matters a lot. So, be a good listener when your partner is expressing.

Communicate With Respect

Healthy relationships demand respect from both sides. The best way to communicate your boundaries is with understanding, compassion, and respect for each other’s expectations. Having respect each time you communicate will eventually make your relationship healthier and stronger.

While setting out the boundaries for oneself never forget to explain the limitation of each partner’s boundaries in a clear-cut way.

For example, what exactly does cheating as a boundary breach mean? Is cheating just about the physical connection, or is it about going on a date with the opposite sex? Does it involve sharing personal secrets with others, watching porn, or even fantasizing about someone else?

While communicating your boundaries in a relationship, try to be open to listening to how the boundaries affect your partner. Also try to explain the issue as openly as possible so that both of you feel heard, valued, and cared for.

In review, healthy boundaries need to have an empathetic mind and heart. Setting boundaries is never about being mean to other people and it is not self-centered. Rather, it is about being present and sensible to others while not overlooking our own wants and desires.

Tips to get Healed from Childhood Toxicity.

   

Someone rightly said, “The childhood of today is the manhood of tomorrow”. We all have certain memories of childhood. Some are sweet and some are scary. But a toxic childhood is a growing period in an environment that negatively influences the child’s self-esteem and sense of belonging. It’s connected with how this child was treated, was neglected, or was getting enough love and care, or considering life is good and secure or complicated and toxic. Toxic childhood is a by-product of toxic parenting or any toxic situation that happened during the period.

Healing from a toxic childhood may be difficult but not impossible, it’s so because those flashbacks and the behavior stay within you for long. Gradually, you start to question yourself for your choices, decisions because the initial stage of your life should have taught you how to live a healthy and well-balanced life but ended up teaching you more about fear, stress, doubts, and insecurities.

Here I’m going to clarify in bullet form to keep my thoughts straight for a better understanding.

Never blame yourself: There is a lot of embarrassment that comes together with childhood trauma, and you have to let that go. Children are taught to be hesitant to tell anyone and are often humiliated into silence. Understand this is something your abuser imposed on you. The fault lies at their feet only. You wouldn’t expect a child to save you from abuse now, so why should you hold the child you were to in several ways.

Seek the help of an expert: this is not something you can deal with on your own. Childhood toxicity often occurs while the brain is still in progress, which means there could be results to it, of which you are unaware. Only by hard work in dealing with core, underlying concerns could you even begin to heal from the harm that could have been done to you.

Realize there will still be people who don’t accept you: Recognize that and respect your boundaries and privacy. It will be painful to hear, so be selective in the people with whom you share your story.
Make something good out of a bad experience: Become a mental health supporter or guide to end childhood abuse. There are children right now going through the same thing, and you can make a real difference in their lives. People are mostly open to listening to someone who has experienced trauma themselves, so use that platform to educate people and help the stigma surrounding it. This will help others with helpful tips of warning signs to look for and may save a child from continuing in a state of constant abuse - and it will help in focusing all that pain, humiliation, and rage into something productive.

Focus on your healing: Ignore the stigma (I know that’s hard) and focus on anything that makes you feel stronger and wiser. One of the big things for me is that I felt weak and helpless to stop what was happening to me, so as an adult, I worked on my Mental Wellness exercises until I felt strong again. Also, distracting yourself to de-stress is part of this. Find a hobby, something you can drive yourself into and get lost in so that you find pleasure and a sense of achievement.

Allow yourself to be self-indulgent: Do whatever it takes to heal. Close out the world for a while if that is what is needed. Cut out the toxic people, completely go no contact with those who know and saw what was happening but did nothing to help.

Remind yourself that you are no longer in pain: For people who deal with childhood trauma, the symptoms are incredibly challenging to deal with. Your body always reacts as if you are still in danger. Keep in mind that you hold the power now. That needs to settle into your mind, and this is where therapy will benefit you most.

Don’t allow anyone to underestimate what you are experiencing as an adult: Childhood trauma stays with us, lives in each of our cells, and influences our thought patterns well into adulthood. Do not listen to people who say, “but that happened ages ago,” “just let it go,” “learn to live in today.” Those people do not know what they are addressing. You have every right to your feelings. What happened to you was shocking and something that people are uncomfortable confronting, so they blame you for not being able to deal with it. Don’t allow that to be a part of your story.

I know it’s a process and not a simple one, but it’s important for your mental health and your well-being. Maybe your toxic childhood didn’t teach you much about love, security, peace, and happiness but it taught you whom you don’t want to be, how not to act, what kind of partner or parent you don’t want to become, and sometimes that’s the best knowledge anyone can give you.

How can we support men's mental health?

We all have been listening since our childhood whenever we hear ‘my man’, ‘man of words’, ‘responsible man’ or a ‘family man’, all we get an idea at first sight that man is considered as an epitome of handling responsibilities. No matter a world may change from here & there but a man is expected to never back off from his responsibilities. In cases where a family is led by a woman, she is also deliberately called ‘the man of the house. This overpowers the situation for men. But with more power comes great responsibilities. As the situation turns challenging & progressing, they are expected to be more powerful & stronger than before. Sometimes, they manage to be that powerful while sometimes they fail to make it after all they are also humans & they too have emotions.

Movies & society have set a benchmark for every man like - “Mard ko dard nahi hota (Men don’t feel pain)” or “ Ladke kabhi nahi rote (Boys don’t cry)”. It became so easy to set that benchmark but what about the scar behind those clothes which they receive due to failed careers, bad relationships, abuse, or assault. Somewhere a generation made sure about a thing that there exists nothing like mental health because men don’t have emotions or any emotions to express while women's emotions or mental health were suppressed or ignored subsequently. With changing times, both men & women took their first step forward to speak, share & talk about mental health. Change is coming with time. Women’s mental health has been given due importance with time-based on the changes they go through in their lifestyle personally & socially. While with men, mental health is just related to depression or a failed relationship. There is a lot more beyond what went unnoticed around you only.

Yes, it’s true. We have our younger & elder brothers around us with whom we stay day & night. We never give a thought if they’re going through anything they need to talk about. Sometimes, people just ignore their issues by saying - ‘this is nothing, be strong & ignore’. This is so easy for someone to speak but at the same time so tough to implement. He needs a guide who can save him come out of it successfully. And there is no particular age group that might be facing these mental health struggles. Men of any age can be a victim of mental health struggles. You still doubt - let’s talk about students. Be it school-going or college-going boys, they come across various intercomparisons among each other in terms of height, weight, looks, appearance, physique, strength, or wisdom. It can be either of them or any of them. A boy with superior qualities in any of these tries to make fun of or bully the one who’s less in it. Some try to fight with it while some get embarrassed with their deficiencies which makes them start hating themselves. As they start hating themselves they start losing confidence in everything including the things they can excel in. These are basic struggles almost every boy has experienced in their childhood to teenage.

When they move forward, post completing their education they are expected to get a job or start working as early as possible. If they fail or delay in doing so, they are taunted with harsh words with a view that they start working next time before they get hurt again. Those harsh words are sometimes not just limited to their casual nature towards their lifestyle but often they are put up as a question on their character. Eventually, they end up either settling down with a bad job or being ignorant after being affected mentally. When it comes to work-life or a workspace, the scenario is almost an upgraded version of what it was in schools & colleges. In a workspace, no matter if it’s a job or a business a man goes through different challenges like getting compared with peers/colleagues, getting scolded/insulted by seniors among the entire team/office, or a fear of getting fired from work or business getting shut. Many people just continue a bad job or business just to save their family.

In case a man fails there, often the family members start biting the man with harsh words again without understanding what he was/have been going through. Often a man’s wings of ambition towards pursuing their dream job or role get cut/destroyed due to family needs or responsibilities. As he is expected to take care of the family, sometimes intentionally & sometimes out of situation demands he is made to forget his ambitions. We think it’s not a big deal but the person who suffers knows the pain. It goes up gradually further when a man is rejected outright or doesn’t receive the necessary love from his partner or kids or parents. Every stage has a situation that disturbs mental peace for a long time.

This doesn’t mean that there is no solution to it. A small step at every point can help a man come out of it stronger than before.
When your child/younger brother tries to share about any problems, listen to them very carefully. Sometimes, they might hesitate to share their problems with you on the first go. Give them some time and listen to their problems.
Talk with your child/ younger brother like a friend. Let them speak about their concerns. Sometimes, they might be going through some serious abuses or assaults you might be unaware of.
The same is similar with men. Whenever you talk to any of your male friends if they share anything which is affecting or bothering them by any means. Try to understand and help them in coming up with the solution.
In some cases, a boy comes across different quarrels in childhood. It could be between parents or family members. Speak to your child about the problem, let them know, and understand the situation because we can't expect the wisdom of taking the right decisions from them until we involve them in every aspect of the decision-making process.
Often men don't open up with their emotions so easily. They only come out where they feel trusted, understood, and not judged at all. Once they feel that zone, they will open up their heart like a child.

You might be surprised why there has been so much focus on a boy rather than a man. It's because that's where the first initial shock of mental health is experienced. If that is taken due care of in the beginning, it makes a boy live a stressful free mentally happy life. Else ignorance just keeps increasing troubles.

5 Ways to Overcome Victim Mentality!

When things go wrong, it’s easy to feel as if every bad thing happens to you. Suddenly, it’s you versus the world, and you’re on a never-ending losing streak.

I’ve certainly had my good piece of times like this, where I couldn’t help but questioned why me? Do I deserve this? It felt like everything and everyone was out to notice me, and it was more peaceful to place the blame for my unfortunate fate on others, rather than own up to my faults.

What is Victim Mentality?

This kind of mindset deflects liability for your actions and viewing yourself as a victim of the actions of others, known as “victim mentality.” Victim mentality is an acquired personality feature that can have serious negative outcomes.



Source: REDEFINEDNARRATIVE.COM

If you or a close one of yours is coping with a victim mentality, here are ways to overcome it.

Identify actionable ways to make improvements

The first step in taking real control of your life is identifying actionable ways to improve your situation. Have you or a friend been tossing about how you’ll never find a job? Instead of complaining to anyone, make a list of ways you can make accessible, real changes. For Example, Try to upload your CV to various job portals or go for an interview. Take action to see your progress.

Manage your Mood

When you feel great, you do great. When you’re focused on what you have, you have more confidence and passion in going after what you want.

A study by Dr. Martin Seligman noted that there are three proven methods of enhancing our emotions. The first is following mindfulness, meditating, or praying.

The other two methods are practicing gratitude and helping others. If you want to feel better, there is no better way than focusing on the good and assertive things in your life. Serving others also strengthens and empowers us. There may not be a more satisfying feeling than knowing you can help others and then observing that result when you do so.

Find a Victor’s Mantra

For many people, mantras do miracles. By realizing that they’re acting like a victim, then they’re able to motivate and allow themselves through self-talk. The solution is shifting of mindset towards positive thinking to call yourself out at the moment you start playing the victim game.

I love the last line of the famous poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley: “I am the master of my destiny, I am the captain of my soul.”

Reframe your Story

You have the authority to change your own story. Every time you feel like complaining about something or someone else for your difficulties, take a moment to flip the scenario and focus on things you can change. Are you struggling financially and disappointed with friends that keep inviting you to fancy dinners? What can you do to appreciate your friends while making lifestyle shifts to improve your possibilities?

Indulge yourself with kindness

Take time to identify the role you play in creating or contributing to your situations. You can be sorry to yourself, and treat yourself to something that makes you feel happy like a small walk, a hot bath, or cooking your favorite dinner. “When you’re criticizing the world and life for your pain and suffering, you’re not treating yourself to feel better. By claiming the victim part, you are increasing your pain.

At the end of the day, it’s important to remember coping with a victim mentality is not a tough job or a life sentence. With little care and help from a mental health professional, you or anyone around you can set free from these negative thinking patterns.

The Bottom Line

The first step to overcome your victim mentality is to realize you’re suffering from it. Once you understand this, you can take an effective role in overcoming it. While doing so, it’s important to stay kind to yourself and don’t make yourself a victim for believing like a victim. There are some things that you can manage in life, and that’s how you react and interact. When it comes to others, you cannot handle what they do, but you can control how you respond. By practicing self-love, acceptance, self-reflection, and gratitude, you can work towards feeling confident and taking responsibility for your own life and relations.

How to Build Emotional Resilience? Importance & Benefit of building Resilience.

     

Life isn’t constantly easy. It is full of struggles. Change, in our personal and professional lives, doesn’t appear to be vanishing. There always seems to be something making us concerned. Maintaining calm and developing Resiliency is very critical.

Emotional resilience is when you can calm your raging mind after encountering an unpredictable situation. It is intrinsic motivation, an inner strength by which we can handle ourselves through all the downsides of life. The word ‘resilience’ originates from the Latin word ‘resilio’ that explains ‘to bounce back’ or rebound.

Emotional resilience is an art of living that is wrapped with self-belief, self-compassion, and improved consciousness. It is the way through which we allow ourselves to see difficulties as ‘temporary’ and keep growing stronger through the pain and difficulties.

A basic aspect of building emotional resilience is accepting the reality that everything is interlinked and unpredictable at the same time. For example, building resilience at work would also make you resilient in your relationships, and vice versa.

Here are 5 tips to build your emotional resilience & help yourself when going through tough times:

Self-Awareness

The ability to control our own feelings, internal conflicts, and perception of the world is termed Self Awareness. Through self-awareness, we get a deeper knowledge of how feelings contribute to our actions. Rather than looking for help outside, or criticizing others for our problems, self-awareness gives us the strength to look for solutions within us. By making us more aware of our inner self, it helps us to become more capable and conscious.

Emotional Control

People with higher levels of emotional and self-control can redirect and manage their feelings. They are less likely to be overwhelmed by stress or let it influence their lives. They think twice before taking any action and won’t climb fast into settling.

Persistence

Resilience helps a person increase their compliance and commitment to keep striving. Whether dealing with outside tension or managing internal conflicts, perseverance keeps the inner strength alive.

Flexible Thinking

Flexible thinking is an important aspect of mental health that contributes to the personal and professional achievement of any human being.

It is a dominant social skill that includes adjustability, rationality, happiness, and positive thinking. A person who has developed these skills through life experiences will be more emotionally resilient and can stay well-balanced in life.

Interpersonal Relations

Having healthy personal relationships is both an end result and a requisite for emotional resilience. If we have the power to build healthy interpersonal bonds at the personal or professional level, we have already taken one step ahead for a resilient life. We are social animals, and being encircled by people gives us the energy to overcome difficulties, survive them, and grow from them. For building emotional resilience in a broader context, we must have the ability to enhance our living interpersonal relationships and be open in developing new skills.

Why is building Resilience important?

When we are in a sensitive and unpredictable situation where we sense as if things are not in our control, it can be very challenging to find our stability or paddle against the wave, or, overcome and relive our life.

During challenging or stressful times, it is important for many reasons - it helps us to have emotional balance in our lives, and can also work as a shield in the development of some mental health struggles and problems and also it allows us to develop mechanisms for protection against events that could be overwhelming.

The benefits of Resilience:

The benefits of resiliency are many.

When faced with a challenge, resilience pushes us to gain knowledge, develop our skills, and value our talents to overcome and flourish.

With resilience, we can face struggles and rely on our strengths and succeed. Maybe things won’t turn out exactly the way we would like, but resilience will give us the strength to accept the outcome and move forward positively.

Moving ahead

Life will knock you down. However, it’s up to you whether or not to waste your time. Whatever you do, don’t give up. Wipe away the tears, get up and proceed to move forward. Your inner strength is the calm force within you that knows when to act and gives you the power to do so. Listen to it and believe that, no matter what follows, you’ve got this.

Resilience can differ from one person to the other, but mental strength and proven practical tactics can mean we can, not only survive, but grow, in the face of adversity.

What is MOST Important - Money, Love, Relationships, Or Peace Of Mind?

As human beings, we go through a lot of things in life. Be it physically or mentally or financially or emotionally, one sees different phases of life from these aspects. Every aspect of it has its own side which we all have been aware of. People work hard throughout their lives to achieve different milestones. For some, money is the milestone, for some love is the milestone, for some maintaining relationships & for some just surviving. But did you know there are some people who work hard to achieve something which is common among these all milestones & it’s that valuable? It is none other than a ‘Peaceful Mind’.

In today’s time, especially after experiencing different phases just wish to have a peaceful mind. For that, people are ready to pay hefty amounts to achieve that peace. Either by taking a vacation or shifting away from a toxic atmosphere, everyone wants to escape from the chaos to have a peaceful mind. In anyways, it is never wrong to take these actions because all you are doing is for your peace of mind. Lately, people have started accepting & acknowledging the importance of a peaceful mind. But it all starts with different emotional, financial & social factors which disturbs it & we all feel to get away from it just for the sake of our peace of mind.

Some of you might be perplexed by the thought of what is more important - money, love, relationships, or peace of mind?

Let’s see each of the aspects

Money - We all have heard about - “Health is Wealth”. If there’s a peaceful mind, that is the biggest wealth for an individual because it all starts from there. The journey of being a successful person starts with a peaceful mind. Once the mind finds its peace, the body also responds positively to the actions. But many people focus on making more & more money. For that, they are ready to compromise with a bad boss, toxic work environment & enormous amount of work pressure. No doubt, the initial period seems more thrilling but eventually after earning a good chunk a person ends up paying that amount to find peace of mind.

There is no limit of needs when it comes to money, for some 1000 is enough while for some 1 Cr is insufficient. It depends on a person & Their lifestyle how they get acquainted with what they earn. A person earning millions & billions or a person earning a meager amount - both would be worried about money which would cause sleep deprivation, disturbed lifestyle & wrong decisions. But a peaceful mind can let a person be alert & well decisive about money.

Love & Relationship - A peaceful mind is the most essential aspect when it comes to relationships. We have come across people who come out of relationships just because their peace of mind was affected. Not just that, many young people have been moving away from their families just because they experience a toxic atmosphere that disturbs their peace of mind. When a person’s mind is at peace, they can distinguish between good/bad and right/wrong. Some people claim being single is best, some claim being with someone is best. People eventually share their views where they find their peace of mind because no matter if they are alone or with someone, most of them prefer a peaceful mind first.

You still might feel why a peaceful mind is so important over money, love & relationships. Have you seen ‘Dear Zindagi’ starring Alia Bhatt? This movie shows how a person like her despite being surrounded with talent, money, work, love & relationship found it challenging in managing it all. It’s because she wasn’t able to make peace with the things they were coming around until she came across a counselor who helps her in decluttering things & ways to achieve peace of mind.

But there are some ways you can do self-help to lead and live a peaceful mind:

• Prioritize your Work, make a schedule & stay organized.
• Let go of things you can’t control or manage.
• Exercise, relax & meditate
• Listen to music, get involved with nature.
• Live in the moment, don’t take yourself seriously.
• Speak your heart out, connect with people.
• Socialize & share a laugh.
• Ignore people who share negative vibes or who let you down.
• Be kind & don’t compare yourself with anyone.
• Take good sleep

While going through this blog, some of you could relate to it while some of you have noticed these stances in your friend’s case or people around you. There might be some who are actually going through one but never gave a thought to sort it out. Here you can try to segregate your things & put them in order to achieve your peaceful mind.

Remember a peaceful mind comes above all other factors & aspects, so never be shy in giving that a priority. Peaceful minds help us in living fulfilling lives. In case you feel messed up with problems & unable to find solutions to them, a counselor or mental wellness coach is always there for you to guide and help you achieve a peaceful mind.
