A: I used to worry so much that if I found my mind NOT worrying, I would worry that I wasn't worrying.
It is easy to keep thinking and analyzing what we did, what we didn't do and what we could have done.
But since we can’t change the past, thinking about it over and over again becomes very frustrating. We need to look for a way to replace these negative frustrating thoughts with exciting, UPowering thoughts.
One way to do this is to write down all the ways you could have improved your work. Use this list for the next project(s) you have. Now that you have a list of improvements you can become excited to apply them to your next project.
‘Tired of feeling down. Decided to make a new choice. So now you’ll hear a strong voice.’ – lyrics from my song ‘Used To’
Until next time...
This has been 'my voice' but I respect that this is your life - this is 'your choice'
P.S. If you are faced with a circumstance where you need help, one of the best UPower choices you can make is to Reach Out to your parents/adults, teachers, principals, counsellors, friends or www.kidshelpphone.ca to get the support you deserve.
Keep reaching out until someone listens.
