While you recognise your emotions, it's equally important to reflect back on your thoughts. Check where it is exactly revolving. If it's a past moment which makes you question yourself, your worth or your actions. Seek answer within. Or go to a person you feel can answer you rationally or calm you. If it's something that has happened recently, take a break and start again. Count your small wins, celebrate them, and involve yourself with things that make you feel composed, happy and peaceful! ! If it's a future event that scares you look around there are your own people who want to see you everyday no matter what, prepare your plan B, if it fails we hv 26 letters, ♾️ number and so does the opportunities. Experiment what best applies to you.

Amid life's storms, acknowledge your feelings. Embrace them as waves on a vast sea. Recognition isn't defeat; it's a compass to navigate rough waters. Grief and frustration - normal currents. Pause, let emotions flow. Through acceptance, negative tides ebb. This acknowledgment isn't weakness; it's the anchor to your resilience. Embrace your emotions like old friends, and let them guide you toward the shores of strength.

Think of it with a surfers mentality, when on top we ride the wave as far as it takes us but when down, regroup, plan your next step with the improvements in mind that will make the next ride even better and wait for that next wave with excitement and know it will come.

Some ways to get started: Listen to my audience, my surroundings. I would rather step into something new than jump into it. I like listening to others and read about others experiences and opnions and form my own. Or listen to my gut and try something new even if seems scary.

Prioritizing gratitude and kindness may very well serve as a catalyst for change and improvement both in our lives and careers. For instance, when you feel that your mind is slipping into the “not-so-positive” zone, or even towards a dark place, I suggest focusing on what you DO have vs what you don’t. Also, volunteer your time for a worthy cause that resonates with your “core being”, which may improve the life of someone else. It can boost your well-being and makes you think twice about how your circumstances may not be as bad as initially thought. Bottom line: Life gets better when WE do better. It all starts in the mind.

I practice grattitude every morning in a journal. By being grateful for the little things in your life, like a good cup of coffe in the morning or bigger things like love, you change your point of view. Think of all the good in your life and how lucky you are! Also being kind to everyone you encounter, we always feel good when we give. By being kind you make someones day a little brighter and in that way also your own.

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”—Joseph Kennedy...... Life is a journey and let's remember to look at moments holistically. Tough situation/moment/days/months... and maybe years are temporary and sooner or later they will pass by. What will remain with you is your learning. Always remember that. One mantra to remember always in tough times is... "This too shall pass." Ask for support, stay close to your family & friends and have faith- you can overcome any tough situation in your life!!

Put things in perspective - ask yourself will this matter in 3 months, 1 year, 5 years…from now. Most of the time we then realize things are not as bad as they seem to be.

Mindfulness and Meditation: Practice mindfulness to stay grounded in the present moment. Meditation can help you manage stress and anxiety. Positive Affirmations: Use positive affirmations to challenge negative thoughts and reinforce a positive mindset. Maintain Perspective: Remind yourself that tough times are temporary. Visualize a brighter future beyond the current difficulties. Gratitude Journal: Keep a gratitude journal to focus on the positive aspects of your life, even during difficult times. Set Realistic Goals: Break down your challenges into smaller, manageable goals. Celebrate your achievements along the way.
