It shall pass… Something is playing at the back of mind all the time which requires tremendous adaptability. It carries so much conviction that an individual starts believing that something awful is going to happen for sure. It gives one jitters and makes one internalise the negatives about self like I am not smart enough, I am not worthy enough, I am at fault or am not making adequate efforts. With time these nagging thoughts get too much personalised as if all the incidents happening around are because of self and takes over one’s identity & life. How do we tackle such a mind, held hostage to this something playing at the back of it. Provide some time for self to rest, read, exercise or pursue relaxing hobby. Spend time with those who matter and make you feel happy. Frequently talk to support group explaining the situation and how you intend to handle it. Do not try to control situations and their outcomes. Understand that every one faces failure & meets disappointments in the struggle of life. Introspect, appreciate self for the small efforts you make, practice gratitude for what you have, learn to be patient, avoid negative self-talk, inculcate emotional resilience and tell self it shall pass.
