Emotional Wellness - Day #41 - Remember the moment

When I go I go too fast, When I slow down I really slow down. Balancing act is always a challenge. While going through AI talk I really liked below thoughts from speaker. Our mind weaves around learning, understanding, explaining, thinking, building new ideas, new perspectives. Perception -> Thinking -> Learning -> Development -> Evolution

Encountered this link - What is the best advice you’ve gotten from a therapist?
Good to remember tips picked from the list
  • Your time and energy are valuable and spendable just like money
  • 24 tokens and set up sticky notes with ‘work’, ‘sleep’, ‘social’,‘recharge’
  • "Don't let people live in your head rent free"
  • “Harboring a grudge is like drinking poison every day and expecting it to make your enemy sick.”
  • Exactly!! Your time is a commodity, and you don’t owe it to anyone
  • Treat yourself as you would treat a small child. Would you only give them fast food? Deprive them of sleep? Let them lay on the couch all day?
  • Basically to be your own parent. Definitely easy to set low standards for yourself.
  • "You are in control of your life. Not your parents or friends or boss or the society. You may be shaped by them but you can't live your life blaming them for everything and not doing anything to improve your situaiton."
  • You should not rely on other people for you to feel happy. You will only burden them with your problems and put your issues on them. Same goes for them. They should not rely on you to feel happy.
  • “Make” yourself feel happy by taking actions that make you happy
  • Counselling is not necessarily meant to save a relationship, it’s to help you figure out what you want and what’s best for you
  • "There was a time before you, and there will be a time after you."
  • "When people want to kill themselves, they very rarely actually want to die. They want the pain to stop, and are so desperate they can't see the difference."
  • Healing old mental wounds. Literally talking to your past self and making amends with the bad things that happened to you in the past so they don't effect your future.
  • Throughout the day, when you're not focused on doing anything, just focus on nothing for a second. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath.
  • It’s not, “moving on, it’s moving foreword”
  • Try to enjoy life and not just ‘get through’ it
  • “Everyone has to experience their own pain.”
  • Treat yourself like a good friend. Depression can be very self deprecating. This helps to be make sure to be super gentle with yourself.
  • "Imagine you are standing at a train platform and unhelpful thoughts are the trains that pass, you don't need to get on every train, acknowledge them and let them pass" A therapist said something along those lines to me, it's been useful.
  • "As long as you're still breathing ... there's time to change".
  • Health is a resource


Keep Moving Ahead, Stay Kind and Focused!!!
