The hardest part is working on oneself; everyone who does it is the bravest warrior and deserves all my respect.

It doesn’t matter how good you’re doing, those sad nights will creep up on you from time to time and that’s ok. Doesn’t mean all your progress is gone

My mantra: I have big dreams to achieve so I have to live long so i gotta save my energy

[Sandra-vgjn]

Maybe someone already said this: do not be a victim of your past. No matter what it was that happened to you, try to tell yourself that you will not let it control you any longer. If you have someone to help you with this, it works even better. I helped my sister finally to stop doing this. Usual story-a rotten childhood. Sister 4 years older than me, so she took the brunt of the emotional & verbal abuse. She held onto those negative feelings for decades and it affected her attitude toward life. Yes, you could still think of yourself as broken; but as you hold on to this idea, years of your life are passing by while you let misery control you. You have to love yourself and think of all the positive aspects of your personality. Of course a therapist could help you along the way. Don’t let the weight of your misery hold you down. Think of it as a heavy boulder that you can toss away, so that you can feel a hundred lbs. lighter. And when you are lighter, walk on air to the next part of your life and never look back!

I’m a very shy person so I don’t talk much but my reactions always show on my face, I can’t control my expressions and I know some people who like to purposely put me in uncomfortable situations because they enjoy seeing my reactions. Im trying to learn to control them so they will leave me alone, I figured that if they don’t see a reaction and I act unbothered they will stop caring

I struggled alot with arguing and wanting to get my point across especially when I felt I was in the right. But than I learned this instead of arguing just say "THANKS I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT" and say it as sincere as possible and nothing else. You'll see it works and even be blown away by how the person reacts that u say it to. Learning to say that and nothing more has made it clear to me people's intentions. I've had them realize I wasn't upset and than they try harder to argue to get u out of character showing there true colors. And all u continue to say is THANKS I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT. If u can learn to say just that you'll always be in control. And this for me is a proven thing that really works. You just gotta smile and tell em thanks I'll take a look at it..

Socialisation and self care can impact on the way that you react. You will have to choose the right role models. If your parents were the types of parents to overreact, be concious that you aren't obliged to overreact like them. If you're the type of person who doesn't take breaks, lives too much in the past, and doesn't eat the right foods, try to change that. You have to become kinder to yourself and others. When you talk to someone and it turns into an argument, try to take pauses in between. You can leave the room to think about it more clearly. Try to reconsider if it's worth your energy, which can be used elsewhere. ( for example polishing your skills and increasing your knowledge.) Don't wait for peace in your environment; this will bring chaos in your mind. Try to become peaceful and resilient even in chaos. Try to build an interior peace; not an exterior peace.

The best reaction is no reaction ✌️♥️😔

My mantra : Life is too short to argue to such shitty people, so take a deep breath and move ahead💀

[chimchimparksbaby]

I fear speaking up will make people leave. But after realising that staying mute will do the same…I’m trying speaking up more.

[ferret]

My mother is incredibly toxic, she will make me cry and insult me, hit me or tell me off, for no reason. Not reacting makes her so mad but she backs off. Thank you.

[CarineBoissonneault]

I am a very sensitive person, and when put in a situation where voices have been raised, or I get into a little (usually not important) argument with my partner (or anyone) - I tend to cry. I’m going to try and put the things I’ve learned in this video into play and hope it helps me not react with tears every time. Thank you 😊

[sifisosteven]

I am always so calm, but sometimes I feel like people just take advantage of that, which makes me to confront them, showing that I dominate.

[jonet]

I tried naming my emotions. Even wrote them on my journal. Helps everytime 🙂

Number 5- finding a way to lower the stress level. I think and believe that a pet (for me, it's my pet French Bulldog) helps to achieve this in an amazing way. I used to get irked quite easily and it was causing me harm to my psychological and physiological health. Then I adopted Mishka, an adorable female Frenchie. Trust me, she acts like a sponge and soaks my tension and stress every single time. After a bad, tiring or unsuccessful day, I just come back home and spend time with her playing, talking and snuggling. After that, I feel as fresh as a daisy. The quality of my life has improved drastically.
