Things You Should Do When You Aren’t Feeling Good
As the journey of our lives moves on, we find that we sometimes become hard on ourselves in some or the other way. It so happens because of the underlying feeling of stress and pain, anger at ourselves due to some situations and constantly believing that we are inadequate. We find it difficult to control our situations and feel ourselves trapped in vicious circle of stress and depression. Can you relate yourself to this ? I think most of us can.
This is the main problem with everyone around which we face and fail to love our significant aspects. We get frightened up due to uncertainties and loose confidence to handle it. We don’t trust ourselves because we develop a negative layer around us. Due to this, we become harsh on ourselves. Our feelings of self-doubt makes us more stressed, less happy, anxious, depressed, stuck, procrastinating, less present in relationships, less focused, more likely to reach for comfort foods or distraction or mindless shopping to comfort ourselves from the stress and pain of being who we are. Instead, we need to give ourselves love and respect and it could deal with all the uncertainties and heal all negativity. We could deal with uncertainty and chaos and difficulty in a much more resilient way.
Giving ourselves love and respect is such an important act of self-care, and yet is rarely ever done. Start from today and break the cycle of self-doubt. Here are some of ways you can do when you aren’t feeling good enough. So, go for it!
Be where you are : The problem with most of us is, we get stuck either in the past or in the future. We do not concentrate on what we are living today. You need to realize it. Don’t yourselves get stuck in the moments which you don’t want. Instead, live your today with much happiness. Do not add infinite battles of yesterday and tomorrow and add complications to life. Instead, just be in present and calmly handle the present situation.
Look deep within : There’s a place within you that is calm and full of love. Don’t pay attention to all the noises that’s surrounding you. Remind yourself that you aren’t what your past made you or what your future will make you or what others think about you. You are just made up of love which is within you right now. So, just go to that quiet place in the center of you. Let the deep love and serenity swallow you whole. Everything is always okay, even when it’s not. Let go of the mind’s need to remind you of everything outside that weighs you down. You are none of that. You are at peace in this moment. Breathe deep inside.
Talk it out : If something is troubling you from inside, then just talk your heart out. It can be your friend, relative, or life coach. They’ll listen out to you and support you in your worst. Don’t let that thing disturb or stress you anymore. Talk out about your insecurities, stress and anxiety. Discuss your perspective. Just talk it out!
Relax the tension : Whether it is about guilt, anger, loss or betrayal, just let it go. Don’t build mountain out of it by over-thinking. Change is never easy. We fight to hold and we fight to let go. There’s no point in stressing over what you can’t change. Stop over-thinking it. Let it be, and allow yourself to grow from the experience. Loosen up your body and go for some activities that entertain you. Change your mode of being from one of struggle and grasping to one of peace and freedom.
Give yourself credit : Stop discrediting for the things that you aren’t. Instead start to give yourself the credit that you’re good at. Think of all the good things about you and appreciate yourselves for everything and don’t limit your happiness by a boundary. Do more of the things that bring happiness for you.
Give things space : Instead of trying to tightly control something, you need to loosen up and giving it more space. Some times for many aspects of life, it is desired to step back and allow certain things to happen in their natural way. This will release your stress and give you more time and energy to work on the things that truly matter — the things you actually can control — like your self-care, and your attitude about everything.
Change your response : We need to change our response to someone close to us who is annoying us, irritating or getting rude. If their negativity is bringing us down then in such situations we just need to shift our mindset. Rather than trying to change the other person, we change our response to them. With this simple choice of response we ensure peace around. Learn not to interpret negative behavior of others as personal attacks, and instead see them as non-personal encounters.
