Hi, I am here to ask how do you guys keep a positive mind frame and a clear mind. Is it a hobby? Do you do it daily? I am a procrastinator and have pretty bad anxiety, but I can be very bold and goal oriented with the right motivation. I am learning discipline, but I am having a hard time keeping the negative thoughts out. I love to meditate, do yoga, draw, read, learn. I’ll start up and be on a streak of the things I like to do for a few days and kinda forget about it for a while. So, now I ask, how do you keep yourself going? Staying positive? Focused on your goals? ( I just need some tips to keep me going honestly)
I was always remind myself this shizzle is not gonna get done by itself (if I need to clean) If I’m down about something I always tell myself that the past is the past. There ain’t nothing you can change about it ?♀️
Totally feel you on that. It sucks bc my anxiety can be so crippling sometimes. But I am learning to push myself very hard to get up and do it. Stop being lazy. It’s only beneficial for my future. I’m learning to breathe. ( I wasn’t taught much of irl in my childhood, just to be book smart.. barely) Take a step back and assess the situation before reacting, but boy that’s tough
When I wake up I like to make a list of things I wanna get done in a day. I'll usually put things like a chore or two that I want done, a minimum of fruit or veg i wanna eat, some form of exercise even if it's just smthing like stretching or doing a few squats. I add my bigger goals too but the little ones help keep me busy and healthy
I have terrible self discipline so I kinda give myself a pep talk each morning. Remind myself I am worth the effort to accomplish my goal. Now I LOVE a list and THRIVE when I have a set of rules. So I set rules for myself and follow them. My issues with anxiety cause me to avoid others and too much stimulation results in me pulling away from others and I am truly not that kind of person. Part of my therapy is making myself interacting with others. I’m failing.
I always tell myself I’ll make one before bed but maybe I should try while eating breakfast. I like it ty
I love being able to scratch off something on my list. Why am I scared of making a list idk but I hope you do interact with others. I always say ima take a walk bc I can’t stand being cooped up but then I let myself be distracted by this game.
I just cry whenever I feel overwhelmed. Helps me deal with stress and once I'm done my mind's a bit more clearer. I also rant to myself bc why not ig.
How is it possible? I end up sleeping after I eat which btw sleep is a good way to avoid things you have to do
I try to do affirmations and at least stretch every day. I have an affirmation script that I work on. I have a fitness routine that I work on. I write things that I'm thankful for and proud of each day: My mitzvot and brachot. And yeah... Keep the weekend for relaxing as much as possible. Work hard during the week. I also take the "make hay while the sun shines" to push myself to get up early and toil in some way until sun set.
