Work a good memory

If you study or work, it is because you want to move forward in your life, you have goals to fulfill and a path to travel through, this is reason more than enough so that defeat is not an option in your life. You can keep going even if you see yourself at the bottom of the well right now. Remember these tips and start floating again.

The evil of doubts

Doubts are an evil that everyone has from time to time in their mind, it is quite common but they can also be highly destructive if they do not stop thinking about them. Doubting yourself and your actions is common but can have an adverse effect on your self-esteem and your life in general. If you did something yesterday and you doubt it today, there is nothing you can do about it, you already did it ... it was in the past. Instead of continuing to doubt or regret, look for solutions and how to get out of the situation if necessary and possible.

If you doubt about the purpose you should follow in life, your partner, your studies ... So it is a clear sign that there is something you must change, your lifestyle does not satisfy you and it is important to start looking at other approaches. Maybe you doubt your talents, your instincts, your dreams, your goals ... Don't make doubts a habit in your life ... This can make you feel really bad. Doubts will only reproduce your fears and prevent you from living a happy life.

Instead of focusing on all your doubts, think about what you are going to do to be better and achieve better results. Think about how you will feel when you achieve success, it all starts in your mind ... Because if you can imagine it, you can achieve it.

Change focus

If you feel defeated, it is necessary that you do not put yourself at the center of the universe. Thinking too much can be a big problem, it can turn something that is very small into a big mountain that squeezes your chest and barely allows you to breathe. Thinking about all your mistakes, failures or defects will not make you better ... But if you think about them to improve yourself, then you may feel better. Mood swings can make you feel that your life is worthless and that you abandon your academic or professional career, is that really what you want? 

Focus on what is around you and not so much on you. Maybe someone around you needs your help or your professionalism. Do not close yourself in feeling sorry for yourself or how unhappy you are, because then you will only get worse and not come out of the dark well. The light is always at the end, you just have to walk towards it and see that everything you have in life can be seen with a special color if you do it through optimism.

You have the right to be sad from time to time, but that those feelings cannot with you. If you find that you feel dejected or too sad for too long, then do not hesitate to go to a professional to assess your emotional health and help you find the path to your happiness.
