Hi there, My name is Kymm.. and I have studied a lot about wellness and stress reduction and really how critical it is to live harmoniously within these realms. Life is difficult and challenging and I really want to help people to try to live healthier and happier lives.
This truly is my only goal with this blog.
Three Days Grace – Never Too Late
This Is A Great Social Community To Join.
I want to say that there was a time in my life, recently… that I really could not imagine living happily again. I have gone through a great amount of stress, depression , and heartache in my life. That is the main reason I have dedicated myself to this site . I want to help people understand it does not have to be like that. I have learned so much and experienced plenty that I feel I have great knowledge to add to someone who may be feeling the same overwhelming , all encompassing , sorrow and lost motivation. I am asking first of all to try not to dwell in the darkness- that is the easiest avenue to take. It is harder to take the route less traveled. I just want people to know that I understand and I have been there, but I have come back and I want to help to show anyone who cares that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Because of insecurity, thousands of individuals often wallow in depression. In this state of insecurity, you might find it difficult to concentrate or focus on or allow yourself to enjoy feelings of achievement as emotions of self-judgment then emerge. Negative sentiments such as “why push ahead if I never get anywhere, anyway?” shows low self esteem and lack of self confidence. Talking to yourself in a hard way brings forth unhealthy and defeating attitude. When you begin to ignore the positive or optimistic feelings linked with achievement, it is so easy to sway back into negative self-talk and damage your success.
When you punish or chastise yourself by focusing on past failures rather than past accomplishments, it keeps you in the gloom of nothingness and uncertainty where there is no opportunity for aiming high. Why harshly criticize yourself or anyone else? Insecurity is a very self-destructive behavior. Criticizing yourself severely weakens your achievements and your growth at the same time. Belittling or undermining the triumphs of other people creates invisible barriers to warm rapport and relations, making it tough to accept situations which foster opportunities and positive growth. It is very unnecessary and self sabotaging to blame and judge yourself just because you weren’t able to influence other people’s feelings and thoughts.
When you’re too busy in attempting to control external factors, then you might not be in command of yourself. Lack of confidence and feelings of insecurity could compel you to attempt to control external events, including others. For instance, attempting to manipulate the way a person feels about you could be so overwhelming, not to mention frustrating. Of course, you cannot command or influence other peoples feelings, but you could always be in control of the way you react or respond toward them. When your sense of security and confidence are inadequate, you may inflict a retreat on yourself to avoid taking risks or challenges.
When a very successful or triumphant event does happen, you might conclude that it’s just sheer luck. Beliefs and self-talk like “In spite of my efforts, there’s still no effect on the outcome,” might stem from past programmed concepts and ideas which you received from disparaging other individuals. Endeavoring to impact everyone or everything around you, instead of handling your own behavior and emotions, weakens your consciousness and self growth. It reinforces more insecurity on your part. The point there is trying not to focus too hard on stopping others on their road to success, but instead to focus on your own achievements and personal growth.
Concentrate on enhancing your strengths to be more optimistic and delighted. Work on appreciating and recognizing your talents and competencies (kindness, endurance, candidness, positivity) that are always there within you. When you motivate and empower your body and mind to build your skills and resources, you strengthen and solidify your commitment to aspire higher. Anti-insecurity Advice 1: Each day when you wake up, ask yourself “What good things I could do today?” Do the same everyday. Anti-insecurity Advice 2: Always be thankful for what you have.
There are 7 Aspects of Wellness that create a whole and complete life. These major life areas are Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, Social, Spiritual, Occupational, and Environmental. Striking a balance in each of these life areas is what total wellness is all about, and this means being aware of each aspect and what role it has in the way we feel.
When there is a breakdown in one area, or numerous areas, of our wellness, anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings and depression are a common result. The full spectrum of our well-being runs across all 7 Aspects simultaneously. When one area is affected, other areas are affected as well, whether we realize it or not. Think of them like dominoes: when one falls, others will soon follow. The same is true for the contrary: when we work to raise one aspect of wellness, the others will follow suit. Each of the 7 Aspects of Wellness are separate on one level, but on another level they are forever interlocked, and it is nearly impossible to practice health in one area without practicing health in the others.
As breakdowns in our wellness occur, anxiety and feelings of depression can become challenges we must face and overcome. Dwelling on past regrets can cause depression, and thinking only about the future can create feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. It’s important to try to stay present in the moment. Learning from past mistakes, feeling nostalgia for good times of the past, and planning for the future are all helpful, but being present in the here and now is one of the most important things you can do to support your total wellness.
Depression and anxiety can come about quickly and deceptively. Often it seems very hard to get “out of your head” when you’re feeling anxious about tomorrow. Depression too, as many of us can attest, causes hopelessness and may be very difficult to overcome. When there is imbalance in the 7 Aspects of Wellness, we might begin to feel a sense of lack, like we haven’t accomplished something or that something is missing in our lives. This can lead to even more breakdowns in our sense of well-being, as feelings of powerlessness or uncertainty keep us from practicing good wellness-related habits in other life areas, such as self-care, chores, friendships and social activities.
Life is defined by the only real constant—change. Change is the inevitable factor, but our personal growth is optional. In our own constant state of change, we must learn to recognize, accept, and handle the pitfalls that are a natural part of life—the breakdowns in wellness everyone experiences from time to time. When these breakdowns happen, it’s important to step back and determine where we are on the path to positive change, understand what prevented us from making positive improvements in the past, learn how we can make changes in our lives, and predict when certain pitfalls and breakdowns may affect us again.
