You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back. True power is observing things with logic. True power is restraint.
If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass. Happy life, healthy mind & fit body all are easy logical choices.
Stop comparing. Start living your unique journey. You need to ignore what everyone else is doing and achieving. Your life is about breaking your own limits and outgrowing yourself to live your best life. You are not in competition with anyone else. Plan to outdo your past, not other people.
Some things we can let go of in the moment. We can shift our perspective or have curiosity rather than judgement. We can choose to be happy rather than needing to show we’re right. We can change how we’re breathing affecting how we’re feeling. We can walk it off. We can check in at the end of the day and let go. Notice where we missed an opportunity and choose not to carry it into tomorrow.
Some other things take time to process. Some things are buried deep where we stored them. Some things are not quite ready. Sometimes we’re comfortable in our pain because it’s what we know. And sometimes we think we’ve healed something only to revisit it later on a deeper level.
We always need to be gentle with ourselves and compassionate when it’s taken us longer than we wanted to let it go. Practice patience, trust the process.
We all think about past good or bad days, then the next step is “beating yourself up in your head”. We must stop doing this to have a happy healthy state of mind.
People with strong stable mentality hold themselves accountable for their behavior. They refuse to entertain toxic self-criticism. They don’t beat themselves up when they fail or make mistakes because they know, it only harms them in the end instead. They choose a path of growth and compassion always forgiving themselves and learning from their mistakes. First step to achieve peace of mind: FORGIVE YOURSELF.
