Oh My Gosh, I Just Became One of Those People Who Say it’s All in the Mindset

The way I have always overcome mental struggles is by

1.) Thinking, and

2.) Not thinking.

For thinking, you think of your problems in a new way. If you are struggling mentaly, it can be best to imganine yourself as sopmeone who has never felt that way before. Someone who doesn't understand what your going through could wonder how something is a big deal, and how it can way you down.

If you use this mindset, you could end up thinking these exact thoughts, and realizing that it can be overcome.

You can also try something similar if people are being rude to you. Set your mindset to take everything as a compliments, or just nott care what others think of you. We all know the ignoring the "bullies" makes us seem like idiots, and when you fight back, you never win. This way has worked great for me, since I started trying it a month or so ago. Just thinking it's a compliment, or unimportant, will make you eventauly beleive it.

Now, for not thinking.

You don't think about your problems when you don't need to, you will find them taking up a lot less of your time. You will have less anxiety if you don't think about things that make you anxous!

Ways to deal with physical pain:

1.) Look on the bright side, and

2.) Distract yourself

These are some pretty obvios ideas, but they honestly do work.

Like, for lokking on the bright side, you feel better about the pain. Like, if you are one of those people who hate P.E., then you can think about not having to be as active in P.E., or being able to skip it all together. You can use your pain as an exuse to get away from annoying younger siblings, cousins, or whoever.

Okay, distracting yourself. If you don't think about the pain, it's less noticable. Like I stated above, don't think about things any more than you have to.

This is everything I have done. It may not work for different kinds of people, and it may not work for certain problems, but it will lesson some pain.

I'm sorry to anyone who is struggling right now, and I hope my advice can help you!
