DAY 3: Regretting Past Events Because of Doubt

My belief is that we shouldn't regret what we did and/or didn't do in the past because of current circumstances. Rather, we should learn from our mistakes and grow from them. The past impedes us from moving forward towards a brighter future. You should never regret what you've done in the past, sometimes we need to understand ourselves and figure out why we made certain mistakes to prevent them in the future.

In order to move forward from past events, you must use today and now rather than relying on the past for guidance. Easier said than done, right? You can do a lot to overcome doubt from past events, but you must open yourself to new experiences and realize that we all make mistakes in our lives. There is no point in keeping doubting ourselves over what we should have done or what we should do.

Doubts cannot help you improve yourself, they only lead to a feeling of regret for the things we could have done.

DAY 2: Self-love

Self-love took me a long to do. I didn't have any love for myself because of expectations I thought I had to live up to. Loving yourself is a crucial thing. You have to be able to love yourself before you love anyone else. I'm saying that because you could be in a relationship with someone and the negativity you have for yourself could change the happiness in that relationship. Loving yourself leads to acceptance. Who cares about what society says about you or the stereotypes they go by? If you keep listening to society they are going to dictate your future. Listen to that voice in your head that speaks positivity not the negativity.

Easier said than done right? The first step into loving yourself is simply saying," I am (Y/N) beautiful." or " I am (Y/N) handsome."
