5 Things to tell yourself when you feel low There is something great about any sentence that begins with “I am.”
Whenever you say something that starts with “I am” makes it all the more powerful, influential and definitely an affirmation.
Having said that, it's quite normal to not feel your most powerful version, to not feel yourself and to have a difficult time picturing your best self on some days. With heart wrenching images and articles all over the news and social media, we too can surely get triggered. We are going through a tough-time but staying sane is the key to survival.
Here’s a listicle you won’t regret reading.
So what should you say to yourself when you’re feeling low?
1. I am IRREPLACEABLE!
Yes, that’s right! You are unique in your own way and no one can take that away from you. When you feel low and want to get out of those blues, you just need to remind yourself of how amazing you actually are. Remember that scrap book you made in your teens, those amazing sketches you drew on the canvas or even those beautiful designs you did for your very humble denim jacket? These are just a few of your unique talents that let you define yourself. This is what makes you, you!
2. I will follow my heart!
There is a high probability that you will feel low or dissatisfied in life if you are just following someone else’s path. The moment you tell yourself I am doing this my way, I am choosing my passion, more than half of the problem is solved right there. For instance, you always found yourself arranging those sofa cushions in a particular order, wanted your study table in a very specific colour. So why not follow your passion? Start small because you have to answer your call. In the end it will all be worth it!
3. I love myself!
Self – care isn’t being selfish. When you love yourself you will do whatever it takes to put you in a better place, to make you happy, to make you feel better. Accept yourself and love yourself for being what you are. Creating such a vibe not only takes you in a better mental state but also promotes your overall well-being. Indulge in activities that make you feel alive; it could be anything that soothes your mind. Be it reading a book or discovering your creative self.
4. I am in complete control of myself
Sometimes things spin out of control. Sometimes you find yourself opening your eyes in the morning and wanting to close them again, wishing you could just “switch off” for a few days. Well, the truth is things won’t always go your way. But you need to understand that you are in charge of your life, your happiness and your future. By understanding this you will get closer with yourself and will instil a sense of power and authority in you.
5. I Got This!
We hear this tiny phrase many times but how often do you tell this to yourself? Finding your happy place amidst all the chaos can be tricky but when you do, it’s definitely worth the hustle. When you are low, you are vulnerable, you will try newer things with lesser hesitation. It’s here where you can find your true passion. It could be anything from learning to knit, to learning to stitch. This would be your most prized possession.
It’s okay to not be okay. The problem arises when you don’t want to fix it. Because owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.
