#timetotalk @timetochangewales • Whatever you’re going through. However bad it feels. Become a fan of who you are. Own how unique you and your perspective is. A disadvantage is only perceived as one if you can find strength and utilise it. • Be you • This is so difficult. I’m still not there! But I’m aware of it and I’m working on ways to appreciate my qualities and not focus on what I’m not. • This is difficult • You are unique. You have your story. You have value. You a light for someone else. You need to share that. For two reasons: 1. Someone else out there will benefit from your story and your perspective; 2. You will benefit from talking and sharing your perspective • We find sharing our stories so difficult. What will they think about? Do I want to poke my head out of the crowd? What if they don’t speak to me again? • Who cares? • You do! That’s why you’re thinking these thoughts? That’s why you’ve got this far down. But are we caring about the wrong aspects that affect us? • Why are we so content to live in silence in misery when there are so many opportunities to do something about it? • Why don’t we change the crowd we’re in? Change the job we’re in? Change the conventions that we hold tight? • It’s scary • How can reduce the fear? • Bring someone else along. Talk to someone about your fears, worries, wild stories. Rationalise them. Make a plan. Normalise it. It will take time. But it will liberate you and make you strong and full of energy! • Talk • If you want more of my thoughts on this I’ve written a long form post on my Facebook page, HelloTomDyer - - - - #depression #mentalhealth #itsokaynotbeokay #talk #share #friends #family @garyvee @teamgaryvee #askgaryvee #garyvee #anxiety #disorder #alone #scared #future #mentalhealthawareness #fear #perspective #thoughts #mindfulness #action #commitment #work #whocares #support #ACTivateYourLife @tenovuscancer (at Cardiff)
