Stormy Thoughts and Sunshine Confidence
Tw: intrusive thoughts, Confidence, Open Discussion, Questions, Deeply entuned topic
Now that the trigger warning is enabled, Good morning everyone! It's Phoe again with another deep conversation topic. Today's topic, I would like to shed some light to is called Stormy Thoughts and Sunshine Confidence, this discussion will rely heavily on the sections 2 Thinking ( Complexity Awareness) , 3 Relating ( Appreciation and Empathy/Compassion) and section 5 Acting ( Optimism).
As humans, we are taught from a young to always think positive of ourselves, but through time either from outside forces those emotional/mental cognitive thoughts change, because how critical we can be of ourselves, an those being critical towards us. This causes very substantial amounts of self-doubt and lack of appreciation for ones' creativity. Sad as this may be, it has become a new normal which should not be the case.
Which falls into Stormy Thoughts , so what exactly would one perceive as a stormy thought. A stormy thought is anything intrusive that comes to mind. It is anything that lacks the ability to nurture ones' mind with anything positive. However, having these moments are normal and happens every now an then, so please do not get discouraged.
In society today, majority of the time stormy thoughts can cause a lot of inner conflict and external conflict. This happens because often times the common saying "hurt people, hurt people". This statement is beyond true, because when some is clouded mentally, emotionally they often neglect the other person's feelings and vice versa.
When it comes to confidence, this does not seem to happen as often due to the self-appreciation, self-love, self-care and self-respect. Sunshine Confidence is when you stay focused on everything beautiful about yourself, and you choose to shine regardless of what is said around you or behind your back. Feeling this way takes time to get though, so please do not get discouraged if you have not reached this level of Confidence.

🌹 A very reassuring post.
It’s always good to be reminded to ‘ride the waves’ and try to keep that positive mindset. For those times when it’s a lot harder to remain quite so positive I’d say we have to remind ourselves that we’re only human and doing the best we can in that situation.
