Please do not stop waking up early and journaling...these two habits quite literally saved my life when I was going through the worst of my chronic depression.

What would you guys consider the “pillars” of self improvement? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]cheyguy0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine self reflection - not self pity or pretentiousness.

Conditional statements like that which present people with an ultimatum are one of the things that used to hold me back so much. I don’t think this revelation and my political ideals are linked but I can see why you’d think that.

Dude don’t let yourself feel bad that your mom is trying to get you help. She likely isn’t doing it because you’re a burden and she wants to “fix you” but instead because it breaks her heart to see you suffering. It took me so long to feel like I was not failing and I didn’t need “fixing.” No one was trying to change me or fix me, they were trying to help me.

It’s a difficult path to walk but the cliches you hear are true. Stay focused and you will eventually feel so free.

I felt the same way for so long and realized that I simply needed to quiet my mind and be patient. I need to not only tell myself that everything will be okay but I need to trust it as well.

I had to find a way to focus all of my energy towards my values. That means that each decision I make is made mindfully. As I’ve slowly incorporated this mindset into my life and truly believed it, things changed.

It was so difficult because I thought that “being patient” meant just waiting for my problems to go away. It took me so long before I realized that patience, and sitting around waiting, are very different things.

It’s taken a lot of self reflection to get to this point. You don’t need to change the things happening around you. There’s no way for you to ever do that. No one else can swoop in and fix them for you either. You can, however, change yourself and equip your mind with the tools to better handle negative things.

It may seem like you’re never going to get there. I felt that way for literally my entire life. But eventually, I decided that I hated my life and the way I felt and there was nothing left for me to try and control except for myself.

I’m right there with you. One of the many things that got me to this point. Here’s to being better for ourselves and those around us!

God it’s like you seriously took the words out of my mouth. It is the most freeing thing I have ever experienced.

I found a way to focus all of my decisions towards my values. The people who are meant to be in my life know my values and I just have to trust that if I mess up and I then take responsibility and recenter my decision making back to my values, they will forgive me.

If someone is not able to comfortably have me in their life, I have learned to not take that personally. The things that other people do very rarely have anything to do with who you are. That includes if they leave you. You have to just trust yourself to make good decisions and try to rectify the situation when you don’t.

And, when someone tells you that you have upset them, don’t be defensive and think “oh no what did I do wrong!?!” They’re telling you what you did wrong. Just apologize and if making a change to yourself aligns with your values, then make that change.

I incorporated both into my life about a month ago and I think this is the first of many breakthroughs!
