New Beginnings: Embracing Change and Creating a Brighter Future

-




Today I met my new therapist. Well not actually met but I spoke to her on the phone. I feel like this is a new beginning. Usually, when a change like this happens in my life I'm not content with it. But this is different. 

I feel like I'm leaving all my old ways and troubles in the past and I'm becoming a new person. Focusing on what's in front of me instead of the bad memories and heartbreak from my past. You know, I feel like change is really good. Especially a change like this. You can learn and grow to become your better self.

Don't be afraid to step into some new light. The change will feel good. If there is something you're holding back from doing because you feel like it's not the right time just do it right now. Start right now! Do you want to start your fitness journey? "START NOW!" Do you want to start your own online business but feel like you're not going to get anywhere with it and you have so many thoughts pulling you back? "START NOW!" There are many things that I can go on and on about that you can literally start right now. 

Don't let fear of new beginnings get in the way of your happiness or your true success. Once you start, months later you will be proud of yourself for putting in that first step. When I start something new it is kind of hard to continue so I don't want to make it seem easy because it's not. Each day comes with its own troubles that can change the trajectory of your thoughts and actions. If you had a plan for that day but something unexpected hit it will be harder to go about continuing that plan. But there is sometimes a way around that. Expect the unexpected. 

Your better self is literally at your front door right now waiting for you to let them in. You just need to put the time in and the perseverance to be able to open up that door. I hope you have a great day, I love you. And don't forget to follow me so you'll be able to know when I upload a new post.

My Life Right Now: Navigating Life's Challenges with Resilience and Self-Discovery

  These past few months my life has changed but not drastically. The most important change that has happened in my life is my mental health. I don't know if it's because I have been more active or spiritual and that has made me have less symptoms of depression but I have barely cried for the past 3 months. I usually cry every single week over the littlest things I would overthink and get upset but that has changed. Well kind of.  Today just feels like I need to take a breath and just let everything out. Not crying makes me feel like I'm keeping something in and now it's banging at the door to come out. I realize that every time I get frustrated I want to cry or just punch something. Especially if someone isn't understanding my feelings.  I'm no professional but I feel like when you have a mental illness it's good to try to understand yourself. Try to find out what isn't good for you to see or hear and you can block out those things in your life. In examp...

Questionable or Scary Thoughts

Do you ever have questionable or scary thoughts? Thoughts that make you wonder if you are even the same person you were before you had that thought. Well, I'm here to tell you, I have the same!  Sometimes I could just be doing any random thing or looking at someone and a questionable thought comes to my mind. For example, If I'm using a knife to cut some fruit I sometimes think, "Imagine I just stabbed myself right now." And after thinking that thought I wonder why it even popped up because I'm not a violent person. I could also be driving and think in my mind "Imagine I just swerve off the road and hit this person" or in class I think "Imagine I strip naked in front of everyone right now."  If you have any of these thoughts just know that you are not alone. And what I learned from my therapist is that they are NOT your thoughts. My therapist explained it to me like this...There is something called your filter thoughts and your actual thoughts....

Misunderstood: A Story of Compassion and Understanding

       I heard her scream from a couple of feet away. As I was walking to the library to print out my resume for an upcoming interview. As I got nearer I saw a girl sitting on the ground in distress...crying. When i approached her she told me not to come any closer or she would hurt me. And then she said sorry.           From what i have experienced in my days of being in psych wards i most definitely can tell when someone is having a serious moment. This happened at my college campus in the evening in the pure dark. We had to call the University Police in order to deescalate the situation and to make sure the girl was safe. They arrived and then everything moved on as if it never happened.      But, I wanted to touch base on how the cops treated the situation. They were very calm and understanding of her Mental Health needs. They didn't just come pick her up and leave. They softly spoke to her and made sure she was safe. ...
