Studies have shown that having a support system can help improve one's overall mental health. When you are surrounded with people who believe in and support you, it's easier to accept yourself or be yourself.

People in your support network should care for you, show love and compassion, and be available when you need them. These are folks that you can count on through the good times and the bad. They don't necessarily have to be exclusively your friends or family. They can include coworkers, your trusted mentor or coach, your therapist, and diverse people from different areas of your life. Everyone’s support system will look different, depending on their interests and needs.

It is also important to reciprocate the support that these people are showing you, to strengthen your relationship with them. In fact, research shows that providing social support to others may be even more beneficial than receiving it. It's a two-way street!

Building a strong support system also takes time, so take your sweet time in casting who should be in your support system, and nurture your connection with them.

It is human nature to feel bad or down when we don't reach perfection, but how we react to the negative feeling matters. Accepting that it's okay to be imperfect leads to a more relaxed and balanced mindset, which helps us become more resilient, creative and at peace with ourselves. Striving for perfection can create anxiety and stress.

Nobody is perfect. It is a universal truth. You aren't perfect, and you never will be. Neither is anyone else. What you can do is keep trying to improve, learn from your mistakes and grow.

Always remember that your imperfection is what makes you who you are. You already are perfect, exactly as you are.

Do you tend to criticize others just to make yourself look good or feel better? Stop yourself.

There's a saying that goes "Blowing out someone else's candle doesn't make yours shine any brighter." Belittling someone else for your benefit is destructive and can backfire on you. It forms an enemy when you could be forming a friend. It also says a lot about your insecurities, unresolved personal issues, or desire for superiority or attention.

Instead, try to support others in their success -- be happy for them. Cheer them on and continue to focus on your own goals. You'll be surprised how your positivity creates mutual respect and support from others. Remember, strong people lift others up, not bring them down.

Life is a journey. We are all on a journey to find our purpose, to become something, to learn, to grow, to create, or to find the meaning of our existence. Focus on what you really want to do and where you want to go. That is your journey.

Sometimes we focus more on how we rank in comparison to others. Don't get distracted. Remember, life is not a competition. Treat other people's achievements as an inspiration, not a competition. You have your own unique path -- your own starting point and your own finish line. Your journey is your story to write. Own it!

Forgiving yourself is a fundamental step to self-acceptance.

When you're haunted by the shadows of the past and have regrets in your heart, it's difficult to embrace all aspects of yourself. Learn to surrender them all to God and accept that you cannot change the past and what has already happened. But what you can still do is forgive yourself, so you can move on and do better next time.

Forgiving yourself is accepting your flaws and mistakes, freeing yourself from guilt and self-blame, and therefore, embracing what you are, despite your imperfections. These realizations can help you move forward with a lighter heart and become a better version of yourself.

Practice self-compassion. Be gentle and encouraging with yourself. Don't say anything to yourself that you would not say to anyone else. Talk to yourself like you would to a dear friend or a loved one.

If a negative thought crosses your mind, pause and evaluate it rationally. Focus on your strengths than your weaknesses, and calmly respond to the negative thoughts with positive affirmations of what you're good at. Remember to always be kind, patient, and gentle to yourself first, and notice how this act of self-love will manifest your best life.

Crying can be healthy. It is not a sign of weakness. It is the body's natural response that offers both physical and emotional benefits, such as stress relief, enhanced mood, pain relief, and the release of feel-good chemicals like endorphins and oxytocin. It also promotes eye health by keeping eyes clean and moist. Lastly, it strengthens social bonds by signaling your support group that you need their help or comfort, reducing feelings of anxiety and sadness. So, yes, it's good to shed a few tears.💧

However, if you find yourself crying excessively, uncontrollably, or without a clear reason, it could be a sign of a deeper issue like depression or burnout, and it may be beneficial to seek professional support. On the other hand, inability to cry despite feeling distressed could also indicate a mental health condition, in which a professional support may also be critical.

Contentment means being satisfied with what you have, finding peace in the present moment, and appreciating inner fulfilment over external circumstances or material possessions. It is recognizing and acknowledging when "enough" is enough.

If you always want what others have, you will never have enough. You will always want more. That’s an exhausting, endless cycle, and it will never lead to happiness. No matter how many clothes you buy, how many houses you own, or how many fancy cars you have, they will never be enough.

However, once you realize that what you have is already enough, you'll find contentment. If you have roof over your head, food on the table, clothes on your back, and people who care about you, you are blessed. You have enough. Anything you have over and above that is more than enough. Be good with that, and make a conscious effort to be thankful for what you already have. Slowly, you will grow into contentment -- that state of being steady, safe, and satisfied.

Happy weekend! Here's a friendly reminder to listen to your body this weekend. 😎🌞

Take time to listen to your body like you would to a friend. Does it want to rest or be active? Is it hungry or craving for something? Is it bored or overstimulated? Is it in pain?

Addressing what your body is telling you is a form of honoring your body for the things that it has given you and done for you. Treat yourself and your body with kindness, learn to listen, and give it a much-needed rest or the best nourishment there is!
