How To Take Action
I would suggest diving fully into challenges when they come your way. Know it’s going to be tough, but remember, you’re not in danger. Think of it like jumping into a big wave—it seems scary, but you won’t get hurt.
Feeling exhausted can be overwhelming, like carrying a heavy backpack all day. Remind yourself it’s just a temporary feeling. Try reminding yourself that it’s normal and you’ll get through it.
It's important to let yourself express emotions; crying and feeling emotional is okay. These feelings can stick around, but have faith in your ability to manage them. Consider writing in a journal or talking to a friend about how you feel. It’s a low-cost way to process these emotions.
Recognize that some tough feelings might not completely go away—and that’s okay. Accepting this as part of your journey can be freeing.
Embrace the struggles you face because they help you grow stronger and more resilient. Reflect on past challenges and how you overcame them. This will remind you of your strength and capacity to persevere.
