All The Reminders You Need To Get You Through Anything In Life

by Thought Catalog

Any time you feel like you’re making the wrong choice, remember that life is not built exclusively on perfect decisions and that your recoveries are just as important as your mistakes.

Tell the people you love how much you appreciate them more than you think is necessary.

Do not let anyone make you feel like you’re unlovable; you may be difficult to love, you may have baggage, but you are not unloveable.

It’s natural to feel like you have to run away—from people, from feelings, from places, from life—but sometimes you should challenge yourself to stay put.

Finding purpose in your everyday life is essential, but stressing out about whether every little thing is meaningful isn’t.

Feeling lost is just a gentle reminder that you are trying to improve yourself every day.

Finding someone who will love you won’t make you love yourself more. If your source of happiness comes from someone you may lose, you’re corrupting the goodness of your mind and soul.

You shouldn’t measure your self-worth and value based on those who couldn’t love you or those who only took your love for granted.

Practice the five-minute rule: you can have five minutes to feel angry, or to vent, or to lay all your shit on the table, or to be afraid, or to complain or to whatever….and then you must let it go.

Anything that feels forced or harder than it should be or causes you pain and distress is not meant for you. Things that are meant for you have a way of flowing smoothly into your life. The more you fight for something that is not meant for you, the more it will fight you.

Even the most well put together person is worried about something. Even the one co-worker who has a 401k, nice car, and adorable dog is struggling. We are all in this together. Life isn’t easy, but don’t spend it being hard on yourself. We all have a limited amount of time, and nobody is getting out of it alive.
