People around me are getting married and kids. I don't have many friends. I'm alone ans cry everyday. My confidence is shaking. I don't hv anyone to share my deepest feelings. I regret many things in life. I feel anxiety thinking about
1. Though it is naturally painful. Don’t’ let this experience devalue you.
2. Don’t measure yourself by looking at others. Others may appear happy and successful. However, you don’t know what happiness or pain is occurring with others marriage and/or kids.
3. Regret and anxiety is your body’s way of asking you to make changes in your life. Think of specific ways and actions for you to avoid pain and pursue pleasure.
4. Develop a plan for growing:
Spiritual
Psychological
Social
Physical
Write your plan(s) and place it on the mirror so you can see it daily. Assess you plan(s) monthly and make adjustments to your plan(s) as needed
Examples:
FOCUS ON WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU WISH TO BECOME
