So when I’m not really vibing and having a hard time, a good exercise I do which generally calms me down and puts my life into perspective is to write down what i can and can’t control.
Draw a mediumish circle and write “what i can control” in that bad boi
Leave some space around it and write up the top somewhere “things i can’t control”
In your circle write things you can control like: what i say, my work ethic, my actions, what i wear etc.
Outside the circle write all the things outside of your control like: other peoples thoughts on me, what people say, what has happened in the past, who likes me etc.
Add some colour to the page and read it all again and again and again until you accept that you cannot control everything in your world but you can control how you react, and that sometimes you have to let some shit go.
This activity puts into perspective that although I can’t change what people say about/to me, I can control how I react to this and how I handle my emotions. I find this calms me down and makes me realise that shit happens and I can’t control it anymore and quite frankly I don’t care about it anymore.
Next time you really don’t pass the vibe check, grab a piece of paper and attempt to get your shit together.
