1) You are important. Treat your soul and vessel in that way. This means that you should
-sleep well
-eat healthily
-study and always keep your mind fresh
-maintain healthy relationships
-take 30 minutes every day for yourself
-there is a clear spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical connection in the body. Keep them balanced.
2) You cannot take on the whole world in one day or all at once. Pick it apart, prioritize, and breathe. There is always tomorrow.
3) Question why you are stressed. Can you fix it? Yes?--do it. No? Drop it.
4) Never fear asking for help. The resources are often there as long as you're willing to swallow your pride from time to time.
5) When negative thoughts start to creep in just walk away from those demons. Make some tea, pick up a book, flip on some music. Do something to turn them away.
6) Even if you have no reason to smile, try. It helps.

When Seth was younger-upper elementary school/middle school-he had a great deal of difficulty with math. I asked him once if he ever asked the teacher questions when he didn't understand. He said yes, that he would ask a question, but often still did not understand. He would not, however, ask again. He felt like he was allocated one question only and it was his only shot at comprehension.
ReplyDeleteAsk for help, ask questions...until you get what you need. Stifle that internal warning that you can only ask once!
