25 things I’d tell my younger, anxious self to feel ready to take on the world

What I learned over 38 years I wish I was told when I was younger. <ul> <li>Personality is temporary and made up. You can be who you want to be.</li> <li>No one has the power to lower your self-esteem because self-esteem is an illusion.</li> <li>Rejection is a sign you are growing and living. It’s not a big deal.</li> <li>Your thoughts create stress, not the world around you. It may seem like it does, but the pain comes from you. Let go.</li> <li>Saying what you really mean (not what you think you ‘should’ say) is not easy but you lose your dignity and a piece of yourself each time you say what you don’t mean.</li> <li>You are much more effective when you aren’t thinking so much.</li> <li>Slow your breath to slow your thoughts.</li> <li>Slow your talking and your movements to calm down.</li> <li>Exercise more than most, and you will be calmer (and stronger) than most.</li> <li>Start lifting weights today.</li> <li>You feel what you eat. Eat junk, and you will feel like junk, so choose wisely.</li> <li>You are already confident; you just think you’re not.</li> <li>The more you act, the more confident you will feel.</li> <li>There is power and joy in the present moment. It’s all you have. Your advantage is in the present, always.</li> <li>Learn about spirituality and becoming more conscious today — start with the Power of Now.</li> </ul> <a href="https://iamalexmathers.medium.com/25-things-id-tell-my-younger-anxious-self-to-feel-ready-to-take-on-the-world-199b39f5da04">Click Here</a>
