If you could change one thing

If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?

I am not very sympathetic towards others, its something i am working on.

I stress so much about everything, things that really don’t need to be stressed about. And I will dwell and dwell and think about it for hours, days, sometimes even weeks or months and it’s so draining. I wish I could be more laid back and not care so deeply about some thjngs.

@Kyraleigh i was like this! Honestly i used to drive myself mad overthinking little things. I started meditating and it has made the world of difference. Meditation helps clear and strengthen your mind.

I wish I either was diagnosed with ADHD at a much younger age or never had it at all. I envy people who are self motivated and “on top” of everything.

@Aria I’d love to try! Where would you recommend I start, any YouTube videos or anything to help? ☺️

@Genevieve aw this makes me so sad because I feel the exact same, sending love xx

I'm always going for the same kind of jobs which I don't like doing. The reason why I go for the same job is because I have the experience doing it and know that if I apply I will get the job even thou I don't want to do it anymore. I find it hard to come out of my comfort zone and like routine which is another reason why I keep on going for the same kind of work. I wish I could be a more brave and start doing something different but I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do the job and then end up being out of work. Being out of work is something I would seriously struggle with.

I can be really nasty with my words when I’m upset and I won’t mean them but I will do it with the intention of hurting someone and I hate it!

@Lydia thank you. I look at people who have insta-worthy homes and wish I could give that to my kids. Just keeping it clean is a struggle sometimes, nevermind cute holiday specific decor, perfectly organized closets, and an assigned place for everything. I also struggle with a sharp tongue. I say my mouth moves faster than my brain a lot of the times and then even though my points are valid, they are lost because I crossed the line with my words. I can even recognize it when it’s happening but can’t stop myself. Currently working on this in therapy. It’s as “simple” as “Stop! Think twice!” before you open your mouth. Easier said than done.

I am a perfectionist and it holds me back from my full potential.

@KyraleighI used the old method of meditating taught to me by my shifu as martial arts and meditation go hand in hand. I started by finding a quiet relaxing space with no distractions. Initially i focused on a candle as a focal point or you can close your eyes. Breathing technique is important as it helps your mind focus. The headspace app is a good way to get started for beginners

My addictive personality

@Nicole i struggle to try new things too. I would love to try new social events/settings but i get nervous around new people. Its odd as at work being a lawyer im always talking infront of an entire court room! Stick me at a party im the one shying away. I had a family wedding and there were guests i hadnt seen in years. I was so shy and felt uncomfortable

I have a hard time having a filter in front of people I'm close to, and I'm pretty sure it's cost me friendships. I try not to say certain things that I know would be rude, but they just slip out sometimes, and I don't realize till later on.
