I really appreciate everyone sharing and seeing the encouragement and support. I normally don’t post much but wanted to offer what I can in the off chance it might help someone else.
Having a solid foundation/base is so important. What I mean by that is, what positive things do you believe to be true about yourself. Circumstances and situations are going to change. You are going to experience/feel both good and bad, and it’s easy to get consumed in those circumstances because you are probably in your head practicing negative self talk, believing lies or half “truths” about yourself.
Examples/practice (if you think what I said earlier might remotely apply then write it down… seriously pen to paper and put it some where you are going to see it daily). Plus I just suggested a couple, add, tweak, edit and make it yours.
Truths:
1. What are some things you have accomplished/proud of…
2. What are some things that you are good at?
3. What do my coworkers, friends or family say I am good at?
4. I get satisfaction/enjoyment when I am…
5. You are not alone…
even when no one is around you. You are not alone in your experiences, your pain, in your sadness in really anything. Not to minimize your experiences, rather to show you that you are not alone and others go before, after and with you. Unfortunately or fortunately your experiences make you a part of a something bigger than yourself. Plus it means if you need help you can find it.
