Let me bless you with some fun facts I acquired from Cal State Fullerton’s Psychology Department to unlock your inner confidence. Every human brain has mental programs running within their unconscious mind, that whisper or scream thoughts or ideas that are completely contrary to how they truly see themselves.
I had this assumption that mental health is supposed to be good without any effort. That assumption died when I was 17 and took my first psychology class. Then I discovered how to better my emotional wellness and created a handy toolkit. I learned about the human brain and how truly fucked up our minds could be. The first challenge is finding the words, knowledge and understanding about what I was even experiencing.
How do we stop judging ourselves and accept who we are?
An excerpt from my 17 year old self…
Hey ladies! Let me ask you something… Wouldn’t it be great to tap into the happiest version of yourself? Consciously enjoying your “Being”! Well it’s as simple and complicated as snapping your fingers, journaling, meditating or dancing to your favorite song. It’s all ENERGY BABY! And it’s our topic for this week! Discovering Self-Love. Now before we jump into Energy and the important role it plays in our Self-Love journey let’s recap a little. ..
When we allow the world to define who we are, what we want and how we feel, living a life of happiness will continue to be a struggle. Learn how to be less fearful in life and avoid trying to fit in the expectations of others. I still remember the moment I was sitting in my AP Psychology course at 17 and became aware of this truth.
Today I bring you good news on being less fearful!
There are two very underestimated mindfulness tools that are ridiculously overlooked when it comes to Self-love and Growth.
These two conscious practices are accessible everyday to us, no matter where we are. They can be used to automatically relieve stress, anxiety, and to offer us a conscious pause when we just do not know how to respond to things going on around and inside of us. Well what are these two magical concepts?! Our very own Breath & Laughter! Yep, one of the very things we need to live, breathing, and one we totally take for granted, laughter, are some of the most powerful and under used practices when it comes to our Self-Care journeys.
