Always act like you are wearing an invisible crown

We often lose our confidence to external approvals and comparisons, we create problems in our life because of pessimism, we indulge in self-doubt and pretence to gain acceptance, we often give up without a fight, but we forget that we have only one life and that too is very short to regret.

Here is how you can prevent rather than curing:

#Inhale Positivity, Exhale Negativity

Negative people and negativity are like anchors, they will pull you down till you drown. Get rid of negative people and negative thoughts and pour in positivity. Positivity doesn't mean believing that it's sunny while it is raining or deny the existence of a problem, but to believe in yourself and the outcome of adversity. Belief is the first step to being positive.

#Become resilient by choice, not by force

Resilience is the most important trait that will keep you afloat. The ability to bounce back from setbacks and not give in is important to survive and live through current times. Your action and reaction to small things matter because nothing is ever going to be perfect and smooth. It doesn't matter how many times you fall, what matters is how quickly you get back on your feet.

#Say no to self-doubt

Social networking has affected us adversely psychologically. We rely heavily on likes and comments from these mediums and when we don't get expected likes or comment, we begin to feel sad, depressed, negative and pessimistic. Social networking is good, but it is not everything. Don't rely on how many likes you get, in the end it won't even matter. Get rid of these stigma or get rid of social networking platforms completely.

#Pamper yourself 

The most important person in your life is you. We become so engrossed in others that we often forget ourselves. Put yourself on priority and treat yourself with some good shopping, dressing up, hanging out and indulging in activities you love. Nothing is better than loving yourself and be happy.

#Let go

It is human tendency to make a simple thing complex and invent a problem where it was non-existent in the first place. We feel hurt and sad because we hang on to things, unpleasant things. Sometimes it is better to let it go. I am not much in favour of forgiveness or second chances because both are overrated, but still letting go makes it easy.

#Accept the mess you are

Nobody is perfect and perfection is very overrated. It is better to be a flawed diamond than a perfect pebble. In our attempt to fit-in, we engage ourselves in pretence and try to become socially acceptable. Once you make peace with yourself, there is nobody who can make you feel bad about you. We are not a missing part of a puzzle, we are an enigma ourselves.

#Be courageous

Many things in life need courage, but the most courageous decision you will ever make is to be yourself and living your life at your will. Courage to spot, accept and correct negative traits is a blessing like no other. Don't hesitate to speak your thoughts, don't be flashy to fit in, don't suppress your emotions, gather courage and do what makes you happy.
