Anxiety often hides behind opportunity. It’s that trembling mix of fear and hope we feel when standing at the edge of change. But what if anxiety isn’t just a warning — what if it’s a sign we care deeply about our future? Don’t silence it. Learn from it.
Self-criticism can be relentless — a quiet voice that chips away at confidence, joy, and self-worth. But it’s not truth; it’s habit. Recognising when you’re too hard on yourself is the first step to breaking free. It’s time to silence that inner saboteur and start approving of yourself instead.
Your past may have shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you. Whether childhood trauma or heartbreak in adulthood, healing begins when you challenge negative self-talk and reclaim your story. With reflection and self-compassion, you can step out of the darkness and build a future guided by strength, not pain.
After heartbreak, it’s tempting to fill the emptiness with someone new — but rushing into love rarely heals old wounds. True recovery takes time, reflection, and self-compassion. Learn to be comfortable alone first, because lasting love begins when you no longer need another person to complete you.
This is mental health.
