Working On Myself

I recently took time to reflect on my life, and I've come to realize that I want to focus on personal growth. I aspire to improve my mindset, physical health, relationships, and overall way of life. This journey is important to me because I've struggled with the aftermath of childhood bullying, which has led to difficulties in forming connections and trusting others.

As a result, I often feel like I'm being judged, and it's taken a toll on my mental, physical, and emotional well-being. I've also struggled with forming intimate relationships, including finding a boyfriend, because I crave a deeper connection with someone, but my past experiences have made it challenging for me to open up.

I'm eager to work on myself, but I'm unsure where to start. Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

@Anxioussoul877

       It is a big task to make changes and to really see areas you may need growth. Physical health is a good place to start i walked a lot and had lots of time to think and reflect while doing that. 

For many other aspects of growth it is something that takes real practice /real attempts ......we can plan or think about things but the difference is between doing on a simulator or doing the real thing....

Some things we cannot plan for..... life is a participation sport. ..... learning to trust or connect closely is more then one person...... how we will react to things requires us  to keep trying those things.     

we will fail sometimes and that often is the better teacher.

Hello @Anxioussoul877! I've started walking that path a few years ago. What helped me the most was to find ways to better connect to myself, and the world around me. I did this by doing yoga, meditation, making sure to go outside every day, and taking mindful walks. Slowly but surely my perspectives started to change. I could see growth and areas of growth. Now, I'm doing different kinds of somatic exercises, and it's been incredibly helpful.  

If you'd like to chat, I'm here!

I wish you all the best on your beautiful healing journey, 

Lex
