Always has an inevitable level of angst and anxiety.
Living "stressed or under stress" is almost the norm in contemporary society.
If we add to this the overwhelming hyper-information that is suffered in the media and networks, at the local, national and international levels, the pressure becomes maddening.
Add the informative, yellowist and scandalous bias and issues of economics, politics and geopolitics or international politics, where provocation and controversy are always present, then our mental health is not guaranteed.
Then there is the culture of fear and the particular and general uncertainties that surround us and in particular in countries like ours, without the rule of law, nor guaranteed human rights and a destroyed and precarious economy and in labor and social helplessness, at least my mind is "thinking too much" mode.
Sometimes we feel like limited, prisoners, drowned, guarded, but let me tell you that... We are our own peace and calm, we don't owe anything to anyone 🤍
And if that were not enough, in a historical time of accelerated technological changes with immediate and direct impact on our lives, jobs, customs and customs.
In addition to the world tendency to change the global order and the dangerous drift towards autocracies and dictatorships, even in traditionally democratic countries.
Tough times are ours, they are challenging us day by day and despite that we cannot afford to lose the will and the necessary optimism, to follow and look to the future with hope of a reality "for the better" as Kant said.
It can happen to all of us that we do not have the information that the key is to continue and that we resist to look deeper, to go deeper.
At the moment I feel identified with this post that I write literally without editing, a couple of days ago I had to go to my therapist, because I have a personal situation that makes me feel a lot of anxiety and takes away my sleep🥲.
The therapist recommended me many things and taught me some tools, like writing down what I think when anxiety comes, because that determines everything. I also train my.mind in the right way so as not to fall into his game, because I definitely have the control.
Maybe if I focus on the symptoms, I stop amplifying them. If I think I can't handle her, I get stronger.And believe me, that changes everything. It's about not giving up in adversity, it's about believing that you can, it's about trusting, it's about solving, it's about managing, it's about learning and getting the good out of what happens to me.
In the end, resilience comes hand in hand with the change and peace that we are in need of. Today I embrace and accept her, because for sure the best is yet to come!
But it depends on me💖
