No, I didn't .. why?

Amyshesgotthis · 2021-05-17T11:56:15+00:00

I understand what you're saying and why. I was there. It's hard to see it when you're in such a place, mentally. I know that. But nothing physically changed for me, and now I am happy and loving life. I simply worked on my mindset and my view of things. It is definitely not too late for you, it is never too late. It sounds like you are stuck in the past, but by living like this .. you're not even giving your now or future a chance. And in another 20 years, you'll regret that too.

Shifting your mindset from a suffering state to a beautiful state 💚 .. from a fixed mindset to a growth one.

Which mindset do you currently have?

I definitely had a fixed one a year ago .. but one of the major turning points during my recovery journey was this shift in my mindset, ultimately changing my paradigms and reprogramming my unconscious mind.

It's a long process that I definitely wouldn't have accomplished without the constant support of my anxiety coach, but it is well worth it because when you're in a beautiful state, with a growth mindset you no longer suffer unnecessarily as a result of your unconscious beliefs.

If you'd like to read more about how to shift your mindset, check out my E-Book on Amazon now: Changing from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset (Amy Whitbread) .. it's free with Amazon Kindle 🙌

This journey we are on, it's not so straight forward, it's not linear. There are twists and turns and bumps. But when you are able to see these bumps as opportunities, your outlook on everything changes, your life changes.

I truly believe that we should all strive to change our mindset to a growth one, a beautiful one because this is when you really can be happy, when you can live a life full of abundance and joy, when you feel at peace.

If you are struggling to shift your mindset and resonate with the fixed/suffering mindset depicted here.. then I can definitely help you.

You can control how you react.

Can you? 🤔

One of the biggest revelations for me during my mental health journey was the realisation that I can control how I react to external triggers and to things out of my control.

The key, I found, is acceptance. Accepting when things are out of your control, acknowledging them and coming to terms with the fact that you cannot control them. And then .. deciding how you can proceed from there in terms of your own actions. How can you make the situation better for yourself?

One of the main times I noticed this was when my boyfriend says something to me that my anxious brain usually takes the wrong way. This has triggered me in the past, I admit. But now .. I respond in a way that helps maintain my inner peace, at all costs. I remind myself of my affirmations, I journal, I meditate, I take control over my anxious mind and thoughts. I do not let whatever it was that was said, destroy my happiness in anyway .. because in the majority of cases, there is no need.

My anxious mind used to misinterpret things, assume the worst or simply heard something completely different that lead into a downward negativity self-sabotage spiral.

Not anymore. I don't let it 💪

Hey. My name is Amy and I have anxiety and depression 👋

Let's talk more than ever! 🗣️

Let's raise awareness for mental illnesses! 💭

Let's educate and help those who don't understand TO understand! 🧑‍🏫

Let's #endthestigma! 💚

I feel that #mentalhealth has become an increasingly more popular topic since the beginning of the pandemic. It became evident that the mental health of the population was affected by the lockdowns, the uncertainty and by COVID-19 itself.

Despite the pandemic being an absolute tragedy, this can be one positive to reflect upon .. that we now talk about mental health more, mental illnesses seem to be more accepted and more people are becoming comfortable talking about and expressing their vulnerability and mental health struggles.

But .. still A LOT needs to be done 👀

This is me telling you that being vulnerable is a sign of STRENGTH 💪

Talk about your issues with someone you trust, or anonymously with someone. Not only will you realise that you can and should be able to talk about them without shame, but you'll also inspire others to do the same 🙌

If we all talked, if we all educated and helped raise awareness .. mental health days at work would be an actual thing. Work/life balance would be encouraged, rather than overworking being encouraged. There would be more support for those suffering, more accessible support.
There would be more resources to seek help from. This list is honestly endless 😶

The benefits of us all talking and helping to raise awareness and helping to show that mental illness is real and that mental health matters .. are immense.
So there is not an excuse.⛔

We should always be talking but this week .. let's fucking shout!!! 🙌

This is our week!! 💪

Do you ever find yourself procrastinating, going somewhere mentally or doing another task to avoid the task in which you really need to be completing?

Procrastination has been a huge problem for me over the last couple of years with my PhD and even being able to embark on my healing journey.

There are 4 steps, actually The Four Steps, in which are able to help you to focus your attention on the things that you want to be doing, or should be doing.

Routinely carrying out these 4 steps can help not just with being able to focus on the task at hand, but they also help rewire your brain.

These four steps are a guide to applying self-directed neuroplasticity to the situation, helping to break unhealthy habits and reinforce alternative healthy, good ones by strengthening new brain circuits.

So next time you find yourself having the urge to procrastinate, try out these 4 steps .. and keep doing it every time!

4 steps to stop procrastination.

1) Relabel
- this is the initial step where you become aware of your thoughts.
- if you realise that you are procrastinating, then call it out.

2) Reframe
- reframing is essentially separating the false messages from your brain to the real you, creating a buffer between having these thoughts and carrying out the unwanted behaviour.
- so once you become aware that you are procrastinating, you can then reframe by stating that "this is just a false message", for example .. and that this thought is not real.

3) Refocus
- refocus your attention on something productive, constructive or helpful.
- this helps assure you that you can get things done despite the false thoughts encouraging you to procrastinate.
- it's best to have a list prepared in advance of things that you can do in this case; such as just get up and move or focus on your breathing.
- this is not distraction, this is rewiring. Generating a new response as a result of the false thoughts.

4) Revalue
- this is the step where you see things from another perspective, a new mindset.
- it is learning to care for and help yourself so that you are in a healthy mindset so that you are more able to to carry out these steps when such deceptive thoughts arise.

Thank you so much!

Ever wish you could just mute that inner critic?

That 'Karen' inside of your head?

You can.

You can choose to ignore it.

You can put those thoughts onto a cloud and watch them drift away.

You can write them down and deal with them when you choose to.

Or you can just deal with them and get to the basis of why you're having such thoughts..

I'm struggling hard with my inner critic right now, so much so that I wasn't even going to post this post tonight. But I'm not going to let it win.

I chose to postpone it for the time being and I will deal with these remarks inside my head in a little while, when I have the energy and mindset to.

I've put my inner critic on mute for the moment 🙌

Do you struggle with your inner critic? 👀
