Instead of focusing on problems try focusing on solutions instead. We will always..always...have problems. Everyone does. We can choose to focus on all the problems we have. We can allow ourselves to get overwhelmed and discouraged. Or, we can empower ourselves: We can look at what we can do. What we are able to do. What steps we can take. How we can help ourselves. We can even ask others for help. We can empower ourselves by advocating for ourselves. We can increase the quality of our life and well-being by shifting our mindset. It seems small, but this can have an absolutely tremendous impact on our lives moving forward. Stop complaining about every little thing! Start celebrating every little thing you can with gratitude. Look at the positive side of things. Look at what you can do. Focus on solutions. Empower yourself. Seize the day!

Ask yourself honestly: what do you require to heal? Are you replaying and reliving the same trauma over and over again? Are you immersed in your suffering and pain? What would you need to do in order to heal yourself? What would allow you to come to terms with your reality? What would allow you to function in your circumstance, to make the most of things, as they are? Are you making things worse or better for yourself? Have you found acceptance over what you can't control and shifted your focus and energy to that which you can do? What is it you feel you need? How can you fill that need in the most positive, empowering way possible? Changing your mindset and focus can have a tremendous impact on the quality of your life. Work in your best interest, not against. It is your responsibility to advocate for yourself, to be your own friend, to engage in self-care. Self-care includes your emotional state, it includes your perspectives.

To improve your life, you must improve. Be more kind, compassionate and loving to yourself. Give yourself grace. Live with gratitude. Empower yourself. Look after your health and well-being. Adopt a positive mindset. Change your perspectives. Pursue your dreams and passions.

Surrender into acceptance of anything that you cannot change. Pick only battles you can win, and that really matter to you. Put your emotions into anything that can empower you. Believe in your own potential. Advocate for your whole well-being: mind, body, and spirit.

Listening to other people's perspectives does not make your perspectives any less important. Listen more.
