Mom/Ambitious Woman This is Your Lifestyle Revival

Trying not to listen to that voice inside.

The one that compares.

The one that tells me I’m not good enough.

Insecurity.

I try not to let other’s actions reflect me.

The actions that reflect abandonment.

The actions that tell me I don’t meet their standard of beauty.

Insecurity.

In my weakest moments, it seems to creep in.

Destroying the strength I’ve built within.

Insecurity.

I can feel it, deeply.

In the parts of myself where it has been rooted since I knew what lonliness was.

Insecurity.

I will overcome you.

I won’t let you stay.

I will cry the tears that come, I will then move on with my day.

When night falls,

When I’m tired in my bed,

When there’s no one else but me,

You will try to creep in my head.

Insecurity.

I will fight against you.

Because I don’t believe you.

I see you.

My past demise.

Not this time.

I will grow through the pain.

I will remind myself I AM good enough.

I will stand on a new foundation.

A foundation of Trust.

Of Faith.

Of Hope.

Of Strength.

I see you.

I feel you.

But you no longer have roots here.

You will no longer be my demise.

You will no longer hold me captive.

You will visit but you can’t stay.

You will find yourself drowning in

6 Types of Unhealthy Mother Daughter Relationship | Psych2Go 

1. Recognise that other people do not determine your worth and value. It’s your life not there’s. They are responsible to themselves for their life; and you are responsible to yourself for your life. Don’t give up your “self” to please someone else.

2. Also, people change, have different values and outlooks and want different things for, and from, us. It’s simply impossible to please everyone all of the time, or even most of the time.

3. Recognise that spending our lives trying to make others happiness is a recipe for failure and low self-esteem. It’s a pointless way to spend your life. It will stop you being happy and true to yourself.

4. Be kind to yourself. Understand that we all have weaknesses, and things that we regret saying and doing.

5. Also, we’re all on our journey – and the journey is harder and more challenging for some than others. Perhaps you are dealing with obstacles that other people have not had to face.

6. Develop your self esteem from within. Decide on the type of person YOU want to be, and work on being true to that.

7. Think about what really matters to you, and the different goals you’d like to achieve – then set these as a priority. That is, decide what YOU want to do instead of worrying about what others would like you to do.

8. Develop a plan for the direction of your life. Focus your thinking, energy, choices and decisions around living a life that is meaningful to you. At the end of each day, check to ensure you’ve done something that is taking you in that direction.

9. Work on developing your self-reliance – so that although it is nice to have help and support from others, you’re not dependent upon it (or them). Also, being able to think, act and choose for yourself will greatly increase your self-confidence.

10. Work on accepting, valuing and loving yourself. Appreciate the good things about YOU. Notice your successes, and any moves towards living out your goals, and becoming the real you.

11. Choose to live in the moment. Decide not to keep going over the past, or worrying too much about what lies ahead. Notice and relish what is good about “right now”.

Jonathan Rauch (2003) author and contributing editor of The Atlantic notes that according to science introverts process information differently as found by studying the brain scans. Science has brought out a great insight about introverts’ habits and requirements and signifies that introverts are more likely to be misunderstood as individuals who are too serious or aloof or arrogant/rude (Rauch, 2003). Hence it is crucial not only to understand the introverts but also care for them.

1. Make them feel accepted for who they are:

Introverts accept themselves as who they are. But at times they wish they are more social like other people. Nevertheless, introvert personality or introversion is not something that introverts need to outgrow but something they have to learn to accept and grow into (Cain, 2016). Hence extroverts have to help introverts by…
