We all have emotional elements that we still need to heal from, even the most aware healthy person knows that emotional healing is a forever journey. So here are a few tips to try today as you focus more on how you heal.

• Be you. It sounds simple, but you really can’t heal until you start being and accepting the awesome human that you are. The easiest way to start this is by yourself and then focus on taking the ‘real you’ into a more social interaction.
• Future you. Who do you want to be? What are your future goals and how does future you act? Sit down and conceptualize what you would like to be like in the future and then adopt some of these elements now. You need to start somewhere to develop into the you you want to be.
• Coping. You need to know what coping mechanisms work best for you when times get tough. Sometimes writing them down can be helpful because thinking straight when you are upset can be difficult.
• Purpose. Find your mission statement. What do you want to do in this world? How do you want to make the world a better place? Giving ourselves direction is helpful for motivation and drive, but also when times are rough, we still know why we are in this world.

My insights: All of these elements are ongoing. I feel like I have most of my coping mechanisms developed, but it always good to keep an eye out for others that work. My mission statement is to make the world a kinder place by helping people understand mental health and how to apply positive mental health to their lives. I truly believe that if each person is happier, then people they interact with are happier, their community is happier, and so on. When I get bogged down with negative elements or generally feeling overwhelmed, it is easy to get back into focus.

In the world: The world needs the best and happiest version of you! You are wonderful- so don’t hold back.
