Keep smiling 😃 😊 🙂 😀 😄 😁. It helps during times of ease and hardship. Many underestimate it, and that's fine. It is learned behaviour as positive psychology calls it 'learned optimism'. When we train our brains to regulate emotions better, we notice significant changes.

To feel fulfilled, you need to let go of perfection. If you enjoy doing things in excellence, then well done to you. But remember that you can't have things perfectly. That's just life. Do the best that you can. Every win, be it big or small, matters.

You won't know until you try. You fear the unknown because we're human. To break this cycle of fear, you need to face it. By doing so, you will be able to conquer your fears and build confidence in yourself.

Letting go is not a weakness or a sign of defeat. You're choosing not to be stuck in the past or future by being mindful of your present and anchored by your values.

Exposure will help you become comfortable with fear and confident to face it. Don't rush it. Gradual and graded steps will get you to the peak so you can say "I've made it!". You'll thank yourself at the end.

Negative thoughts are annoying. They can make you believe in all sorts of nonsense. A lot of them may seem true, but they are only thoughts, not facts. Not every thought deserves your attention.

There's something good coming in your life. Keep that in mind every day. Struggles and tests of life don't last forever. It's a divine promise. 💯

Not every bad thing that happens in your life is your fault. There's a difference between self criticism and blame and being accountable and learning from experience and mistakes. The former keeps you stuck, while the latter helps you move forward and improve.

Letting go is not meant to be easy. Like any skill or technique, it needs patience to learn and adopt. It is learning to shift your focus to what's in your control and the present moment. Meaning, instead living in the past or future, learn to live today.

[Hashil Al Hatmi @HashilHatmi]

It is hard to stop spiralling about the future. We're human after all. It is in our nature to worry and think of all types of worst case scenarios. We can't help it. What we can do is focus and give more attention to our values and the things we can control. One day at a time.

[Hashil Al Hatmi @HashilHatmi]

Letting go is not a weakness. It is a conscious strength to accept what's not under your control and choosing to not let yourself hold on to uncertainty. You're breaking free from the prison of the unknown by focusing on your values and taking a path towards fulfillment.

We tend to believe that certain situations are what led to negative consequences. But what we need to be mindful of is our beliefs and thoughts that influence the consequences. We learn to become aware of our thoughts and beliefs and choose how we respond.

If feeling anxious and you don't know why. It would be very helpful for you to learn the skill of grounding yourself. Try the 54321 technique. Be aware of your senses and your surroundings. When you can shift your attention, you'll notice those physical feelings dropping slowly.

Goals direct you to your destination. Values guide you throughout your journey.

100% of your problems can be solved by simply communicating. If we fail to communicate, then the situation doesn't get any better. Once we learn to plan how we communicate, then we can build better and stronger relationships.

Just because the road is blocked doesn't mean you can't re-route your journey. Feeling stuck is frustrating, but there are ways out of your problems.

As someone who struggled with anger issues growing up, it is possible to become a calmer and grounded person. It takes time, perseverance, and patience. Work on your anger by becoming more aware of it. That's the first step.
