If you are feeling lonely and depressed or you are feeling as though you do not belong to a certain place that article is for you.
I was going through a tough time when I moved from my parents to the place where was new for me. I felt as though no one understands me, I felt as I should not be where I was and it was not only about that new place. But the truth that I understand after a while, was some insecurities and fears. I have realized that I was always insecure about myself and I had so many fears. Fears of looking stupid, fears of saying something wrong, fears of displeasing someone, fears of peoples' opinion. These are the things that do not let me be free. I was talking with people weighing my words so that I could pleas them. Or sometimes I was just quite because I was feeling if I said something stupid everybody would laugh at me. Being in a place where no one has to help you, none has to be your friend, at that moment you are starting to realize that you are all alone, and people will not stand you with your insecurities, only your parents can do that. After realizing this I felt so low and vulnerable, I was seeking help, and I find help in the blessing arms of God. He helped me to go through the hardest time of my life. Being alone for a long time I stared better understand myself and the people around me. With that life challenge God help me to realize that we are all alone, we born alone and we die alone. I just give my life to his arms and let him guide me. When I have done that I felt that I am no longer scared of being myself. God created us and he loves us equally and no matter what. So, we do not have to depend on other people to be happy. We can be happy on our own, we can be whoever we want, it all depends on us. So, just try to understand that you need to be strong for yourself, you are your first priority, no one is going to take care of you better than you do. Please, stop torturing yourself with different insecurities, start mattering yourself. Put yourself first.
Start with taking care of your mental and physical health.
Mental
- Read the books that help you to understand yourself better
- Spend some time taking care of your skin and overall look: put on your favorite mask, turn on your favorite music and lay on the bed in a cozy room thinking about the things that you are grateful for.
- Take a bath using your favorite bath bomb and scented candles to make the atmosphere enjoyable for you, then think about all the things that God blessed you. Think about how lucky you are and how uniquely God created you. You are so different from others. And that is what makes you mysteriously beautiful.
- Finally, do the things that you always wanted to try- learn a new language, meet with new people and whatnot
- Physical
- Do exercises every single day; you do not have to do a lot of physical activities each day. You can just stretch and that is more than enough
- Do yoga(yoga will make you more flexible and mentally stronger)
- Sometimes we are not in a mood to do yoga or basic physical activities; in that case, you can just walk for a while in nature. Proven that walking in nature help with boosting overall mood.
All these tips are good for well being. But remember if you are not going to change your attitude to life, you will not make any changes. Be grateful and start valuing the things that you already have.
