Feeling like a loser.

Feeling like a loser.

I can’t speak for everyone else but these days, I feel more and more like a loser. It’s crazy how much I associate having a job with not feeling like a loser. I would still have my days when I felt like a loser having a job because I didn’t have a job where I got to do what I really want. But these days, I definitely feel a lot more like a loser. I haven’t had a job now in about two years and…

The Importance of Being Kind to Yourself

When there’s an unfortunate event or chapter in your life, it’s easy to neglect all the good days. Negativity is powerful. It consumes your positive energy, and it drives you to think that your life is useless and that you’re an unlucky person. When you’re doing good and then suddenly something bad happens, the negativity you feel will eat up all the nice things that happened to you, and that is because, again, negativity is powerful.

The feeling of being stuck in our homes feels like forever. As days go by, we fail to see changes and hope that we’ll be able to be free someday. During these trying times, it’s so hard to be positive because a lot of things just happens. The frustration is nonstop and everything is just messing up with our heads.

And when these things happen, we forget about ourselves. 

The importance of being kind to yourself is as important as finishing your degree —if it is important to you. Remember that a car cannot run without gasoline unless you’re planning to push it all the way to your destination, which is hard. What I am trying to say is that you cannot bring out your best if being kind to yourself is something that you always fail to do. Whether you’re ready to hear this or not, no one can help you but yourself. No one is responsible for your welfare but yourself. Even your best friend is not responsible to make you feel better. Do not deprive yourself of the good things. You owe them to yourself. You deserve them.

“It’s easier said than done.”

“You only say these things because you don’t feel what I feel.”

“It’s easy for you to say these things because you’re not going through something.”

Believe it or not, I myself am going through something heavier than you think, but this whole article is not about me but you. The reason why being kind to yourself is important is because it is the only way to let yourself breathe. Imagine the effects of thinking about nothing but the approaching deadlines, the things you have to finish before the sun sets, and the demands of everyone around you. If the only things that matter to you are other people but yourself, you’re on your way to a place no one likes. 

When you’re tired, get some rest. When you’re drained, forget about the deadlines for a moment and do something you love. When you’re just done with the world, give time to focus on yourself. You can go for a walk, take yourself out on a date, watch the sunset, listen to your favorite song, do your hobbies, buy yourself flowers, or drink your third cup of coffee. Again, you owe all the good things to yourself. Do not deprive yourself of happiness and fulfillment.

The world can wait. 

Everyone can wait.

And you? You have been waiting for so long, and waiting for another second is the last thing you need.

Do not even think for a minute and ask yourself if you deserve it because you do. You definitely deserve all the good things this world can offer. Your worth will never change on the days where you spent the whole day doing nothing and the days where you accomplished lots of things. Your worth is not measured by your productivity. You’re the same warrior fighting your own battles every single day.

Listen to yourself and rest.

Again, the world can wait.

On the art of detachment...

Yesterday I went on a job interview that I think went very very well. So I went home and write a thank you email describing the interview and letting them know that I’m excited about the opportunity. Then the ruminating thoughts set in...did I say that right, did I present well, did I get defensive?? She said she really liked me but was she lying?? These thoughts were so unproductive and held me hostage in negative thinking. In my meditation I learned the art of detachment. You see, you won’t be able to control the outcome of anything. The outcome will be the exact right outcome that you’re ready for and this is decided by the vibrations around it. Not you! Learning to release the idea of wanting to control an outcome was a task for sure. I decided to work on projects, go out with friends, and just forget about it. Wishing the outcome well and imagining that it’s floating away like a kite that was let go. It felt very powerful. So what are you holding onto that is outside of your abilities to control???

It has been a cool week of unexpected fitting into clothes I have never been able to wear...bought my Dangerfield blueberry top off eBay...because....BLUEBERRIES 😍much earlier this year. But it was just too too small, couldn't button it up or even get my arms through...on the off chance I decided to try it today...and 💥 it fitted beautifully!!!! and off to work I went! It's been a slow & steady process this time, and so it still surprises me how far I have come. It has been confronting but not hard. When you stop eating your feelings and make yourself feel your feelings, it's a super difficult thing to do. But it also gets easier. And is so so so worth it. 🙃☀️ #weightlossjourney #slowlybutsurely #consistency #beingkindtoyourself #feelingmyself

#beingKindToYourself #loveYourself #love #showingYourLove #showYourselfLove #mindfulness #meditation #zenmister #zenwords Now that you know you love yourself, you need to be kind to yourself. It turns out you hear everything you think. You tend to believe a lot of what you think, so if you believe all those bad things you think about yourself, that's no way to treat somebody you love. It is not that you are not lovable, it is that you are not good at showing your love. There’s no shame in recognizing you have been treating the person you love badly. The shame comes if you continue to do it after you realize it. Show yourself love.
