I’ve learned that gathering tools to help me out of a rut is the fastest way back out. My whole goal is to always feel as good on the inside as possible, because from there I know I can be my best self as much as possible.
We can’t be the best version of ourselves when we are under attack or feel threatened. It takes up way too much of attention and we are distracted from what matters most to us.
The best thing to do is to remove the idea of the threat as quickly as possible. Once we spiral down, climbing back out is a chore.
What are the tools that help? Most importantly we need a strong foundation in our belief system.
This is what is inside of you and gives you grit and resilience. It fosters all of your self talk.
We need to fully believe that everything works out in the end. We need to embrace the fact that whatever is happening is happening in our favour, instead of against us.
We need to have clear boundaries. Every time we allow something that isn’t quite right in our lives to exist, we chip away at our own inner peace and our strength leaks out.
It’s also important to know that how we see ourselves is a reflection from the people we surround ourselves with. Once you understand this you will know why it’s so important to find people who love you and see the best in you. They help you to see the best in yourself.
If you want your best self to be better then start showing up in the world, the challenges you face will only serve to help you figure out what’s important.
The good news is that everyday we get a new opportunity to do better and be better than we were the day before and refining can happen slowly over time.
