STOP LABELLING YOURSELF...!

Ok, now here it is, I personally refuse to use the words “mental-illness” and “clinical-depression” OR any other words that can describe (on a personal level to you) an inability to heal yourself! Listen, it will make sense…

It is fine if you go to your local GP and get diagnosed, nothing wrong with that what-so-ever. BUT, do NOT keep telling that story to others. Stop labelling yourself. What this will do is keep you in the rut you’re trying to get out of! STOP the self-talk about it also (the labels), it is the same as telling the story over and over again! You are only doing yourself a disservice by doing so! We all have someone in our lives who LOVE to lament the fact that they don’t have enough money, aren’t their perfect body weight, are still single, etc, etc, etc. Now, here is the clincher….. Do you see them getting more money, the perfect body, a partner??? NO, because, simply put……..They don’t stop talking about what they don’t want!

“STOP TELLING IT LIKE IT IS, IT ONLY GIVES YOU MORE OF WHAT IS” – Esther Hicks / Abraham

I am not asking you to lie about your situation, all I am saying is, don’t play that broken record for yourself or anyone else! Start by saying something different, when someone asks how you are going, play it up, tell them how well you are doing. Some days you will not want to sugar-coat things, you may very well feel too miserable to do so, in that case a simple “I’m getting there” should suffice!

Very simple steps, yet, imperative to your changing your outlook on yourself, life and the way the world sees you!

There will be days you wake up and nothing is bothering you, you feel GREAT, you feel INVINCIBLE, THAT is when you need to congratulate yourself for doing such a wonderful job, keep it up! The world did not decide to bless you that particular day, YOU made it happen with these (what seemed insignificant) simple steps. AND if you don’t acknowledge it, when you have a down day (like everyone else gets), you will think that the world has decided to curse you YET-AGAIN…

Make EVERY good feeling count! We don’t let the negative feelings get away without dissecting them, why not milk the good ones!!!?


LOVE
