Welcome to Day Yourself Instead, Day Yourself Instead, what does it mean to Day Yourself Instead?

I'm just gonna learn how to love myself and that's it.

A negative emotion only arises when you are ready to be free of it.

I read this line from the greatest secret, it's a really amazing self-help book, and it instantly resonated with me.

When I turned 28 years old, I went through a really big turning point of my life

and it was a huge mental transformation that was super difficult on me.

Every single emotion that I had ever suppressed probably since childhood

and every core memory that I had pushed down and never really healed and dealt with.

As an adult, I had pushed everything so far in my subconscious

and now it was suddenly bubbling to the surface of my thoughts and driving me crazy.

And it felt like I needed to go straight into therapy out of nowhere.

It just hit me like a ton of bricks and I was so caught off guard and I didn't know what was going on.

But suddenly every day I would wake up and have like crazy anxiety, all these crazy emotions eating at me.

And I needed help.

It truly felt like for months my thoughts were literally uncontrollable and I would do everything in my power to think positively

and like talk to friends, talk to family, just try to distract myself and do whatever I could to heal myself

but nothing seemed to be helping me.

And I was trying so hard to feel good all the time but I felt so heavy and so sad

and I fell into a really big depression.

And I never really understood depression like serious depression until this turning point in my life.

My mind was always all over the place.

I felt like there was nothing I could do to feel better.
