self love matters

-
I know I said helpful tips but this blog is all about helping others and showing them that they're not alone so I decided to show you guys some self love tips that I incorporate into my daily routine. These tips have really boosted my self esteem and etc and I hope it does the same for you. Here you go:

1. Positive self talk in front of a mirror (I know sounds silly but this tip has really boosted my confidence).

2. Write a letter of what you love about you/encouragement to yourself and read it during hard times.

3. Set reminders so you remember what you need to do everyday for your mental health.

4. Do something fun by yourself, like go to the movies this really helps because you get to know yourself better as a person.

5. Practice saying no and don't let others have the ability to walk all over you.

6. Take a social media break! (let me tell you this is the best ever you are not on your phone all the time and it gives you a sense of peace).

7. Try new things you've never tried before. (it gives a sense of adrenaline).

8. Do the things that make YOU happy!

9. Go out of your way to be kind to others. (It always feels good to make someone's day better).

10. Exercise!!!! (I know exercise is the worst right? but it's very essential and produces endorphins).

XOXO,

- Anna

coming out of my shell

-
Hey guys, it's Anna a introverted ordinary girl just trying to get out of her shell. For years I've put off sharing my personal life with everybody because I was afraid of the stares, the odd looks and how people would treat me. For three years now I've been dealing with mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression and it hasn't made life easy but then again when is life ever easy? We all face trials and we all go through hard times but that doesn't mean that you can't still find happiness even through the darkest of days. I created this blog to share my own personal experiences throughout life but also to help others suffering the same illnesses to me. I found out the hard way that life isn't always gonna be easy and there have been times that I wish I could do it over again, but looking back I'm proud of how much stronger I have become today. Mental illness is not an easy thing to deal with and it definitely takes a toll on your life. It all began m...

it gets better

For all of you out here reading this or struggling but I'm here to tell you it gets better, I promise. I used to think I would never get better, never go anywhere but look at me now graduating in three months which is something I thought I would never do. It's all about taking those little steps making them bigger and then all of a sudden you are striding through life. It's not always going to be easy and there is always gonna be days where you don't even want to get out of bad but you will get there I promise. I know at times you can feel weak but you are stronger than you can even imagine. You've been through so much and you're still here living, breathing, keep going. You're not alone, you're loved and you're so much more than you think. Don't let others put you down, it doesn't matter what they think of you let them be jealous from the sidelines. I admit this is easier said than done and it takes time but you will get through it. Self lov...

anxiety overload

-
Once again, I notice the little ways my anxiety slips in making me more and more vulnerable everyday. "They're laughing at you, they hate you, they're just waiting for you to mess up" the voice says. It's the spotlight effect the belief that you are being noticed more than you really are. It's the others telling me to "chillax", "take a chill pill", "pop a xanny". Little do you realize that your words deteriorate me, and the damned ill-fated people who suffer the indistinguishable curse called mental illness. You may say curse? that's a bit dramatic but once you have it, it feels as if controls you, overtakes you as the voice in your head screams "this is all your fault". But it's not, it's not your fault it's society's messed up view on the world making you feel like nothing you ever do is right. They say mental illness isn't real but if it isn't real why are millions taking their lives, havi...
