How to Trust Yourself.
Just think about it, we’re quarantining and you’re sitting here contemplating and questioning your life paths at the moment when really you have all of these answers at the tip of your finger. We’re so fed into society’s bullshit that we forget to face our own realities and that right there is the utter truth. Just reflect on this really quick, isn’t it so easy to implement negativity onto your life and easily go fuck up someone else's peace with it? Just sit on that and just reflect. So as I am sitting here doing all of this overthinking about a simple first blog post, I thought about ways you can still make yourself feel like YOU and trustworthy during this hard time wherever you are right now, because you are so worthy gem. These little things, I promise will be so life changing and beneficial in your ongoing and bittersweet journeys.
Journal
Write it down. I know it sounds cliché, but seriously get aligned with your emotions and journal down why is that you’re feeling untrustworthy about yourself in whatever the case maybe. I’ve learned that voicing your frustration through a simple touch of a pen and paper guides you towards solutions in which you've never knew were within you.
Everyday You’re A Student
Yup I said it. So you’re possibly positively not doing anything or just waking up at 3pm right… snap out of it, and go learn. Now that you have all the time in the world, why not go and learn or even teach yourself something you’ve always wanted to do? Consider reading; one of everyone's fav reads at the moment is The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Not only does this read self guides you within every aspect in your life spiritually, but it also shifts your mindset that can never transition back to your regular old routines.
GiveYourself Time
Take everything day by day and remember not everything is going to finish within the 24 hours of the day and that’s okay! Believe that pacing yourself can guide you through whatever that obstacle is so don’t sweat so much into that one thing! Once you’ve practiced how to pace yourself, the idea of “I can most definitely do this” perspective will fall into place so gracefully gem. Remember you only got you, so manifest in yourself preciously.
Why Meditate?
It’s proven that mediating improves your emotional health, reduces stress, and helps with anxiety. The anatomy behind meditation all begins in where your headspace is at this very moment. It also changes your mindset and who you are as an individual; it’s all about you gem! At the end of the day you’re trying to become more mindful and understand the “why’s” about you and that right there is already an impressive ability. Consider the following exercises to practice your journey of meditation:
Listen to a mantra and close your eyes while reflecting on YOU right now.
Sit still for a few moments
Get in tune with your breath, mind, and soul
Inhale & exhale for 2 minutes gem, believe that YOU can actually get aligned with yourself!
5. Remind Yourself
Remind yourself that you can get through it all regardless of any circumstance. Create your outcome and see what life has in store for you in order to be comfortable. You gotta face challenges that paves ways for you to become more in tune with yourself. You know deep inside that you got it and having fear is definitely okay, but facing those obstacles are good types of fears.
