BEING SHY MAKES YOU LOSE IN LIFE
Be egoistical. Stop losing opportunities. Stop wasting your potential. No energy. No drive. Afraid. Depressed. Start living. Other people’s opinions don’t matter. Become unapologetic. Get aggressive with your life. Fulfill your mission. Focus on your interests. Confidence will become part of who you are.
You weren’t born shy.
Your environment forced you to be.
It all comes from your childhood, where you were taught to always please others, but all this time - it was destroying everything around you.
in order to become a better person, you must first realize how horrible you really are. not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet ways you sabotage yourself, repeat unhealthy patterns, hurt people who care about you, or tolerate what wounds you. you cannot grow if you keep pretending you’re innocent in the story you’ve created.

Because attention is not free.
A brain imaging study found that smartphone addiction was associated with structural and functional differences in brain regions involved in attention, emotion, and self-control.
You need boredom. A lot of it. Start by going on walks without music. No stimulation. No distractions of any kind. If you learn to sit with your own thoughts, for long enough, in time they will start serving you. You'll start having ideas once again. You'll start developing an extreme sense of clarity that will shift you into the next stage of your life. All by being bored, which is pretty insane.
THIS. I’m 31, and I can assure you: FOCUS ON BUILDING THE LIFE YOU LOVE. Because once you genuinely love your life and have found your peace, when a potential partner comes along, you can REALLY see things clearly: “Will this person add to the peace I already have, or are they going to bring chaos and drama into my life?” And you’ll know whether to let them in or let them go.
Aurora, cantik, tapi sebenarnya tengah protect diri tersakiti.
Gunung berapi, "buruk", tapi sebenarnya boleh sejukkan bumi, suburkan tanaman etc.
Begitulah saya tersedar hikmah baik buruk kehidupan. Sekian ciapan malam ini 🧘🏻♀️
The quickest way to “get your spark back” is to literally light yourself on fire. You’ve got to burn baby. You’re depressed bc you’re not being insane enough. Double. Down. The world does not reward half ass. All in or out. You’re thinking too small. You’ve accepted your current reality as the only reality. Bullshit. You need to write a list of the most insane asks you could ever dream of. “I am a NYT best selling author. I am the founder of a Fortune 500 company. I paint for a living and I make a damn good living.” Ask and you shall receive. Embody and you become. Flip the fucking script. Your current ceiling is now the floor. Level up.
You need to burn.
Sumpah aku setuju dan sepakat banget sama mbak raisa ini.
Cewe2 yg agreeable menurut aku seringnya ga bisa mendeteksi red flags krn terlalu “nerima-nerima aja”
telling your brain "i know you don't wanna do the thing and it'll be very uncomfortable for you at first but you can do it buddy. it'll be fine" is actually surprisingly effective. it sounds too simple but that fuckass organ WILL listen to you if you treat it with kindness lol
kalau kamu tumbuh di rumah yang setiap habis berantem cuma diakhiri dengan silent treatment lalu ga lama kamu harus langsung switch ke “nothing happened” mode, pura-pura semua baik-baik aja tanpa closure, tanpa maaf, tanpa ngobrolin, perasaan sama sekali, maka itu bukan cuma “kebiasaan keluarga”. itu adalah pelajaran paling awal yang kamu dapat soal perasaan, bahwa emosi itu mengganggu, berbahaya, dan lebih baik dipendam sendiri daripada diungkapin, dari kecil kamu diajarkan bahwa vulnerability = risiko, jadi otak kamu sekarang otomatis memilih emotional shutdown setiap kali mau open up, makanya susah banget buat bilang “aku sedih”, “aku marah”, atau bahkan “aku butuh kamu”, bukan karena kamu ga punya perasaan, tapi karena inner child kamu masih takut kalau mengungkapkan apa yang ada di hati, rumah akan hening lagi dan kamu harus sendirian dengan luka itu, ini warisan yang ga kamu pilih, tapi sekarang kamu bisa ubah.
unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.
Abis baca (lupa dimana) kalo terlalu mengaitkan value diri sama hal konkrit (kayak hobi, pekerjaan, peran) itu membuat sense of self jadi lemah.
Dianjurkan untuk mengaitkan personality sama value yang lebih abstrak dan kuat (kayak integritas, keterbukaan, kejujuran).
