Here are a few things that I’ve learned over the past few years that have made a MASSIVE impact on my life.
1. Be kind to yourself. Stop bullying yourself in your own mind. I think a lot of girls, myself included at times, make their own mind a sort of hell for themselves. Does your inner dialogue sound like this??? “Why does she have it all together and I don’t, what’s wrong with me that I can’t do that?”
“I need to dress better”
“I need to eat better”
“why am I so lazy”
“she’s so much prettier than me”
While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to improve yourself, be kind to yourself inside your mind. You’re not going to be able to bully yourself into improvement. Trust me, give yourself some grace.
2. The time you spent scrolling is stealing from your future self.
I don’t need to give you the statistics on the amount of screen time the average American has. Or the percentage of the screen time that is spent consuming content made by other people who are paid to make us feel bad about our own lives. Like we need something we don’t have.
Go outside, pick up a camera, pick up a paintbrush, get on a horse. Create something, develop a skill, you in the future will thank you. There is so much you can do with that time.
3. You cannot get to a place where you don’t care about the opinions of others if you are still judging others.
I feel like the more you think about this one, the more it resonates and makes an impact.
If you’re looking at someone else thinking “why did they wear that.” Or “why did she say that”, or anything else we could judge. It might seem small, but we’re going to expect others to have the same thoughts about us! If we truly stop judgement, it will change the way we think of ourselves and our own choices.
4. No one is watching you as close as you think.
They’re worrying about themselves.
Take a breath, you have room for mistakes, people probably won’t even notice.
That’s all! Comment your thoughts!!
In today's fast-paced world, mental health awareness is increasingly crucial, especially for those navigating their 20s. Adopting a kind inner dialogue is the first step towards self-acceptance. Many individuals struggle with comparing themselves to others, leading to negative self-talk. Research shows that our perceptions can be skewed by social media, making it imperative to spend less time scrolling and more time engaging in creative activities that enrich our lives. Additionally, it's essential to recognize that judgment of others often reflects our own insecurities. By fostering a non-judgmental mindset, we not only liberate ourselves from unnecessary scrutiny but also create a more supportive community. Remember, no one scrutinizes your actions as closely as you might think; everyone is wrapped up in their own lives. Embrace your uniqueness, allow for mistakes, and give yourself grace. These practices are foundational for long-term mental well-being. Let's support each other in the journey to self-love and acceptance!
