This mindset will save you a lot of anger

It’s easy to take things personally when someone cuts you off, says something sharp, or seems careless. Your mind instantly turns it into an attack and labels them as rude or bad. But think about how many times you have been lost in your own thoughts, stressed, overwhelmed, or dealing with something heavy, and accidentally bumped into someone or said something without thinking. Most people are fighting their own mental battles that you will never see. Practicing understanding instead of reacting does not excuse bad behavior, but it frees you from carrying unnecessary anger. The more you let people be human, the more peace you create for yourself. What helps you pause before reacting when someone triggers you?

The goal of meditation

Meditation is not about having a quiet mind, it is about learning not to be pushed around by every thought that appears. When you stop fighting your thoughts and start observing them, they lose their power over your emotions and behavior. This shift can change how you experience stress, anxiety, and sadness in everyday life. Have you ever noticed how different a thought feels once you stop believing it automatically?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer

I had people tell me my life could be a lot worse and that my life will get worse. It would mean the world to me if that isn’t true.

I hope life gets better for me everyday in every way and I hope that for all of you too! I don’t know why people say such mean things. I emailed a model once and told her what I was going through with my mental health journey and her reply was that my life will get worse and worse over the years that she will pray for me. I swear I hope that’s not true because I deserve a life that always continues to get better for me in every way and so do all of you!

What can I do if I am ugly? People are so rude and disrespectful. I hate my face.

I have had so many men call me ugly. I used to go online and pretend to be other attractive pretty girls and when I showed them real pictures of me. I got so many nasty mean remarks thrown to me about my appearance. I know I am not the prettiest girl but at least be nice because I am a GIRL not a fucking boy. I hate the way I look. I can’t even be around an attractive female without being insecure because when a pretty girl walks into the room, they probably would get complimented right away and I never do. I am always by myself and plan on being by myself for the rest of my life. Attractive people piss me off. I don’t like being around them. I was never considered one. When I was little my parents said I looked like a doll and I had so many people say stuff about the way I look saying I am ugly mostly men. Sorry I will never look like Jennifer Lopez and some people probably really wouldn’t understand why I am this way. I really hate my appearance. Maybe if I lost all the weight I wanted and my skin cleared up forever, I would feel a little better about myself but otherwise no. Sometimes I see attractive people in public and just want to punch them. That is not gonna change.

If your mind feels foggy or overwhelmed at work or school, this takes ten seconds and actually helps.

When your mind feels stressed or foggy, it is often because you never truly pause. Staring at screens for hours trains your nervous system to stay tense, even when you think you are pushing through productively. This simple exercise helps reset that pattern by giving your eyes and mind a moment of openness. Every ten minutes, take ten seconds to look at something about ten feet away, not your phone but the space around you. Looking up instead of down creates distance from the task and reminds your mind that what you are working on is not as overwhelming as it feels. Small pauses like this can bring more calm, clarity, and focus than forcing yourself to keep going. Have you ever noticed how much better you feel after even a brief break?

This moment

Most people are never fully here.
Their mind is already chasing the next moment, the next solution, the next version of life where everything finally feels okay.

There is a quiet belief running in the background that says,
“This moment isn’t important. The next one will be better.”

But life does not happen later.
It only ever happens now.

When you are constantly waiting for the next moment, you miss your own life while it is unfolding.
You miss small moments of calm.
You miss relief that is already available.
You miss the fact that right now is survivable, even if it is imperfect.

Healing does not happen in the future.
Peace does not live in tomorrow.
They are practiced in this moment, exactly as it is.

The present moment is not standing in your way.
It is the only place your life actually exists.

How often do you catch yourself waiting for life to start later.
What would change if you let this moment be enough, just for a minute?
