I’ve spoken about it before, saying it again differently.
I like to believe my mind is my own personal safe space.
We’ll have millions of thoughts in this lifetime.
We speak to ourselves, imagine, ruminate, replay memories, beat ourselves up, hurtful memories keep repeating itself and so on.
We are our own best friend.
Also,
Not everything we think is true.
Some thoughts stray into our mind and later disappear.
We tend to forget about it later because of the other thoughts that occupy our mind.
We can also change our minds.
So what we think now might not hold true later when we gain more knowledge and understand it better.
So before speaking things into existence, pause and reflect.
The best way to come out of a bad memory is to stop replaying it constantly.
As we gain more experiences in life and write new chapters and adventures.
Those memories that are consuming you will seem trivial.
If something is bothering you, you should probably speak to a therapist, a friend, partner or family.
Forgive yourself for your past mistakes and have grace and compassion.
Learn to love yourself.
Speak to yourself kindly.
Embrace your imperfections and flaws.
It’s okay to have emotions when something happens because we are humans and we go through a range of emotions.
Your emotions are valid and literally everyone goes through it.
Whenever you are feeling certain emotions, do the things required that heal those emotions.
Like if you are angry,
Go for a walk, listen to music that helps you, journal, speak to someone, take a shower, read something, watch something that helps, write about it or something.
Focus on healing that emotion. Don’t bury or ignore it because it will fester.
You need to have your values and morals in place to understand what are the thoughts you are not supposed to materialise.
You need to have a strong sense of self to understand what you will and will not do.
Your mind is your own personal safe space.
You are your own best friend.
It’s the thoughts that you materialise that makes you who you are as a person.
You need to understand what’s right and wrong and act accordingly.
