25 of 30 Things to Stop Doing To Yourself and Start Doing For Yourself

Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t. – It’s okay to fall apart for a little while.  You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well.  You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears.  The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.


Holding in your feelings can lead to other health issues.  Look at the picture to the left, do you want to explode like that?  The more you hold the anger, fear, frustration or any other feeling in, the more stress you hold inside.  WM of PBC


Start being more open about how you feel. – If you’re hurting, give yourself the necessary space and time to hurt, but be open about it.  Talk to those closest to you.  Tell them the truth about how you feel.  Let them listen.  The simple act of getting things off your chest and into the open is your first step toward feeling good again.


A strong person is one who can show their feelings and talk to others if needed.  Don't continually tell everyone about what is going on, but trust in a few good people, get it off your chest and then move on.  Deal with the issue and get the feelings out and your day will start to look better.  Remember its not what happens to you, it is how you react to it.  WM of PBC
