6 best mental health advice I was ever given

Someone — Wed, 24 May 2023 17:22:57 +0000

If it still bothers you after 24 hours, speak up within 48 hours. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for taking care of. A bad day doesn’t mean a bad life. The critical judge in your head does not tell the truth, and it does not have your best interest at heart. Your brain[...]

Someone — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 22:53:57 +0000

Hillbilly Wisdom

Someone — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 16:10:07 +0000

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong. Keep skunks, bankers, and politicians at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor. Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled. The best sermons are lived, not preached. If[...]

Redefine your definition of failure

Someone — Sat, 07 Jul 2018 12:00:04 +0000

What if, instead of seeing it as a failure when we give something a go and it doesn’t work out, we see it as a victory that we tried in the first place? Perhaps the word failure would be more aptly used in situations where we don’t attempt things at all, because we’re ruled by[...]

Decide to accept yourself no matter what

Someone — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 12:00:57 +0000

Love yourself on the good days — and love yourself on the bad days too. Love yourself when things go to plan, you light up the room, and kick all of your goals — and love yourself when you make mistakes, succumb to bad habits, and let your fears get the better of you. Unconditional[...]

Give to give, not to receive

Someone — Sun, 01 Jul 2018 12:00:03 +0000

There is something so beautiful about giving from a place of pure love, without conditions or expectations — to feel someone else’s happiness as your own. Try to give more without seeking anything in return, and notice how the positive feelings you experience from seeing someone else’s joy and comfort are more than enough return[...]

Let your emotions be your guide, but not your identity

Someone — Fri, 29 Jun 2018 12:00:11 +0000

When people experience strong negative emotions like anger, jealousy or pain, they usually do one of two things — bury their emotions deep in their subconscious, or get so caught up in their emotions that they are consumed by them and adopt them as part of their ongoing identity. Neither choice is healthy — instead,[...]

Give Up Wasting Time

Someone — Wed, 30 May 2018 17:17:52 +0000

“The trouble is, you think you have time” — Jack Kornfield You only have this one crazy and precious life. That’s why you owe it to yourself to see who you can become, and how far you can go. However, to do that, you need to ditch meaningless time wasters and stop allowing them to[...]

Give Up Your Need To Be Liked

Someone — Tue, 29 May 2018 16:19:01 +0000

“You can be the juiciest, ripest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be people who hate peaches.” — Dita Von Teese Think of yourself as a market niche. There will be a lot of people who like that niche, and there will be individuals who don’t. And no matter what you do,[...]

Be yourself

Someone — Fri, 18 May 2018 16:06:58 +0000

Be yourself. Don’t waste time and energy trying to be and do what you think others want you to do and be. And most of the time, your actions trying to be what you think others want won’t make you happy. They won’t make others like you any better. Instead of trying to please others,[...]

Create your own certainty

Someone — Wed, 16 May 2018 00:27:13 +0000

Create your own certainty. Don’t allow yourself to be dependent on the choices and actions of others. This philosophy is akin to the idea that you should trust, but verify

Don’t compare yourself to others

Someone — Sun, 13 May 2018 00:31:05 +0000

Don’t compare yourself to others. Comparing yourself to others is counter-productive. Generally one of two things happens: You either feel inferior because you’re not as good as the other person, or you feel superior because they’re not as good as you. In reality, nobody is better than anybody else. We’re just different. If you want[...]

The meaning of life is the meaning you decide to give it

Someone — Sat, 12 May 2018 00:31:45 +0000

The meaning of life is the meaning you decide to give it. Some people are searchers. They wander through life looking for answers…but rarely find them. Others accept without question what an outside authority tells them is true. The meaning of life comes from within, from the things that you learn to prioritize and value.[...]

It’s always best to be proactive

Someone — Thu, 10 May 2018 00:36:26 +0000

It’s always best to be proactive. In life, there are often default options. If you don’t consciously and deliberately choose something different, you get the default. When this happens, your life shapes you instead of you shaping your life. Most people go through their entire lives in default mode. They accept what life hands them[...]

Be your own advocate

Someone — Wed, 09 May 2018 00:36:26 +0000

Be your own advocate. Don’t be afraid to ask what you want and what you need — especially if it’s help. Too often, we struggle in silence when we could make our lives better simply by asking a question or two. Better to look ignorant for a moment than to remain ignorant for a lifetime.[...]

Focus on what you can control

Someone — Sat, 05 May 2018 00:38:59 +0000

You’ll be happier if you focus on efforts and attention only on the things you can control. Each of us has a large number of things about which we’re concerned: our health, our family, our friends, our jobs; world affairs, the plight of the poor, the threat of terrorism, the current political climate. Within that[...]

Staying in a relationship

Someone — Thu, 03 May 2018 00:38:59 +0000

Staying in a relationship out of a sense of obligation or pity is not a good reason. Sometimes you really do have to walk away — from a friendship, from a family member, even from a romantic partner. Yours isn’t the only story in this world; sometimes it’s better to be somebody else’s villain than[...]

You’re more likely to regret the things you don’t do

Someone — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 00:38:59 +0000

You’re more likely to regret the things you don’t do than the things you do. That’s not to say you should be an inconsiderate jerk, or that you won’t regret making big mistakes. But generally speaking, you’re more likely to be sorry that you didn’t introduce yourself to the barista at the coffeehouse, didn’t go[...]

You don’t need permission

Someone — Wed, 18 Apr 2018 00:38:58 +0000

You don’t need permission. When we’re young, we wait for our parents and teachers to say it’s okay to do the things we want to do. As an adult, you don’t need permission from anybody else. Do you want to quit your job and travel the world? Do it. Do you want to learn how[...]
