If you are allowing negative thoughts to flourish, you need to work on combating them, because true happiness is a state of mind.
You must stop judging yourself too harshly and truly take the time to expel the toxic thoughts that trouble you from your mind before they become too powerful to control. We all struggle in our own ways and what works for you may not work for others. So you must look into the thoughts that are harming you the most and work towards transforming them into something positive.
Instead of thinking too much about what you don’t have and what you want, take a moment to express your gratitude for all that you have achieved so far and that you and the loved ones in your life are alive and well. You have all the things you need to keep going and fight for a better future. Yes, you will struggle in the process but the most important thing is that every single day you’re taking small steps towards improvement.
Your life might not be a fairy tale but you need to keep in mind that the lives of those you admire are not as amazing as you think also.
You are going through hardships most of which only you know about, and other people might be envious of you without knowing the full picture.
As long as you believe in yourself and realize you truly are good enough just the way you are, happiness will find its way to you. Every one of us goes through hardships and pain in life and you too will fail many times before you find the right path to greatness. It’s just the way life goes. The more failures we go through, the stronger we become and the smoother our journey gets.
At the end of the day, what you think of yourself and the lens through which you see the world are more important than those of other people.
If someone thinks ill of you or tries to push you down, free yourself from their grip and walk away from them. You are the only one who can truly define who you are and just because others think of you in a certain way doesn’t mean they’re right.
Removing all the negativity and toxicity from your mind before they truly take a hold of you is crucially important. Replace those thoughts with positivity and keep yourself busy in order to raise your chances of creating happier memories. If something does not help you grow, remove it from your life and never look back on it.
