Practicing gratefulness is so underrated
It makes you look at things from a such different perspective. Instead of saying "oh no, I have to go to school" we should be saying "I get to go to school". We should be mindful of the opportunities and things we're given. It is a whole mindset shift
Do not date with mental illness
This is a HOT take but it only refers to people who have mental illness and don't do anything about it. Your partner is NOT your therapist. Venting can feel good at times but sometimes it gets to a point where your partner starts to stress a lot about you. Please be cautious of the dangers it can bring to your partner and your relationship as a whole. Please stay cautious
Productivity is SUCH an important skill to have and starting is always the hardest part
Laziness gets you nothing, it gets you out of nothing and it just hinders you from so many opportunities. Trust me you're going to feel so much better afterwards than just not doing it. Make your space comfortable, cute even laid back if you want to but just get it done.
"If he wanted to, he would" is such a dumb quote
Yes ofcourse if someone is putting 0 effort then it's understandable. But there are life circumstances that just don't let you. You do not know what is going on on the inside of a person. Some people are scared, ashamed or just not ready. It never justifies their actions though. I am not saying that they shouldn't be held accountable but that most have reasons to act or not act a certain way
Take snarky comments as a compliment
This doesn't apply to personality traits but if someone is incorrectly judging you. Take it as a compliment that you managed to stand out in their view. Take it as a compliment that they're so phased by your existence while you're not. Even if they're making comments about your appearance, take it as a compliment because you know they would not be able to pull of off and get attention
You are not going to be happy with sad music blasting in your eardrums 24/7
It affects our brain and what we take in from our surroundings stays. When I was in my depression, I used to listen to lots of sad and depressing music. It just made me get stuck in this depressive space created in my head. But once I started to actually look at the lyrics more and listen to more positive music, my mood improved.
Ignoring your bullies achieves nothing
They are going to mess with your nerves even if you're ignoring them. Seek support, take action and don't let yourself be treated so low. But that doesn't mean you should start despising them. That means they're immature enough to understand what they're doing. Even if it may seem hard, try to form compassion instead of hate.What healthy, happy person would bully someone that way? Seek action.
Trust Christ
People judge you, hurt you, are emotionally unavailable and are distrustful but the Lord always has an open ear for you. Please seek Christ in times of weakness. He will not forsake you, he will rescue you.
