I often experience fear and anxiety. This happens when it comes to doing the things I need to do for my mental well-being. Often, I see the issues and magnify my thoughts. I ruminate on them going bad. I try to control them without realizing I need to be brave. I should focus on what I need and can do to make the day go smoother.

My mind can focus intensely on what can go wrong. It often points out issues over which I have no control. When I do not feel that I have control over the situation, I often want to panic. It feels as if something is going to happen that is not going to go well. But in reality, I have to remind myself. I am an intelligent person. I can do things that are logical. I have to remind myself why I am where I am going or need to be. I need to focus on my needs. I must also focus on what I can control to make things manageable for me. It’s not about being the one that makes the change or wants things to be as I think they should. I am not trying to terrorize or threaten others because I know that can no longer happen. I have to move through life as best as I can. I must accept the way things are at the moment I am in.

Sometimes I let my emotions get the best of me. I believe I can control things. In the past, I was led to think that things needed to be certain ways that they did not. I have been unwilling to see that things have changed over the years. I need to let go of the hatred. It arises from wanting to have control over things. Instead, I need to be brave and focused for those I want to help. I need to show that I can overcome similar obstacles that they are facing. It can be done in a healthy way. The old trash that I allow my mind to feed on needs to go.

It takes finding things that bring me joy. They let me know that I need to live the life I want to live. I focus on how to make the best of it. I am seeing more that I need to shift my focus from things that have long bogged me down. These things no longer exist in the ways they did. I am letting go of the hatred and negativity about situations I can’t control. Instead, I focus on what is best for me in the moment. I find what makes me happy and allows me to thrive.

It is about allowing bravery and focus to enter my life. I choose this over the same old nonsense that does not do any good for me mentally. I know that I am such an amazing person. If I continue to focus on the things that make me feel good, then life would be so much better.
