    Hello Anyone 🙂
    First of all its really nice to hear that you are happy with your life right now not a lot of people are content with themselves:) When it comes to wanting your ex to call it is very normal since from (i ignored so many times) I’m guessing she calls a lot and you are so used to it that it makes you feel weird that she has stopped. But just remember that she too has feelings and probably is sick of feeling like she is throwing herself on you. And since you are so happy with your new life , you must let go of the old one completely!
    When it comes to your mind wandering just remember that nothing can enter your mind without you letting it ! So everytime some unwanted thought comes into your mind analyze it and move on from it. Or you can do the old trick where everytime you thought of her or something you didnt want to think of , you can entertain yourself with something else like a game or a movie or anything like that. But I would prefer if you would analyze the thought as that is much more useful at stopping the thought completely . For example; “I wish she would call, where is she?” When this thought comes to mind (just guessing) you should ask yourself , why you care? So what if she called? Would it benefit me at all or just put me back where I used to be? At first the question will keep coming back to your mind but later on you will get bored and sick of it and you will stop thinking of her as your brain and yourself will notice that it is not helping you or even harming you at all.
    Hope I could help, take care and let me know if u have any questions:)

    Hahahha , love this !
    Inky I have always imagined you as someone who just speaks her mind and tells it how it is! the kind that gives Tough love! I imagined you as an artist though I guess because of “ink”y 🙂 I imagine you being pale and have dark hair for some reason and someone who does have some sort of wild side:):)

    @Jasmine-3
    is such a kind soul , I imagine her to look exotic and to have black hair and big brown eyes she is wise and caring but I feel like she doesnt get mad fast but when she does it is scary 🙂
    Big blue I dont know that well but have read a few forums where he has answered and I can see that he is probably some sort of jokester ( I think thats a word:p) seems like the type that takes life easy , wise in a sort of care free kind of way I pictured him as a big man (not heavy just big boned and tall) and for some reason wearing a white tea shirt 🙂 !
    I dont really know matt well enough though 🙁
    Who do you think I am:p but you guys probably dont know me well enough yet 😉

    Hello @Jasmine-3 thank you so much for asking about me and my improvement , sorry I haven’t replied, but I have been very busy with wedding planning and what not :3 . I am very blessed and thankful to say that there has been improvement and I have been eating again and can leave the home without freaking out, I have decided to mostly change my daily habits and the way I think and meditating and trying to believe that I am changing who I am and improving myself so I had to let the old me go ! Its working like a charm! Not completely there but definitely getting there! Thank you so much for your time and your care it is nice to know that there are people like you out there:)

    Hello Claire:)
    First of all I would like to say that in my opinion I find nothing wrong with you at all ! I think it is beautiful that you know who you are and that you are introverted like reading and are different than everybody else. To be honest everyone is different but people these days are so worried about what people think of them that they are all being the same but if they all were their authentic selves, then this would change and we would see a lovely world where everyone was unique. So I would suggest that you embrace being different and enjoy the fact that people will see you different. At least when they think of you they will know who you are because you stand out! When it comes to the negative thinking and analyzing what people think of you, DON’T waste your time! I have been in your shoes before and analyzed SO many thoughts in my mind about what the person in front of me thought of me (all of the thoughts were negative obviously ) and eventually this person would end up being my friend and tell me something SO DIFFERENT than what I had thought they thought of me. And in other times the people I thought might actually like me , turn out to not really care for me at all. So dont waste your time trying because more than likely they are not thinking what you think they are thinking , dont forget everyone has their own way of thinking , own life experiences and own ways of deciding so there is a very small chance you think exactly how someone else thinks. You know how someone you just dont like because they remind you of someone you dont like? Yeah that kind of thing, so you cant really guess because everyone thinks differently. Plus , dont take compliments or insults too seriously because in the end of the day you are the one who has to look at herself in the mirror , so technically no one can push you down or put you up unless you let them! When it comes to the negative thinking I’m not exactly sure what kind of thoughts you have? But remember that your mind is a sacred garden that nothing and no one can enter without YOUR permission !
    Hope I helped let me know if there is anything else you would like to know:)

    Hello There 🙂
    I can understand where you are coming from , for almost 2 years I have been going through this “i wanna fix myself and be the person I would admire” kind of phase and it seems to take time. The best advice I can give you is BE patient! I promise you if you keep working on yourself you will get there it just needs time ! Try fixing the habits and the little habits you do daily which will definitely speed up the change, another thing to do is to monitor your thoughts! it is easier said than done but it CAN be done! I used to give up on myself every once in a while because of the fact that I felt that I was not changing and that maybe I’m just supposed to be like this, but then I realized that since I aspire to be that person then it must be meant for me ! That must be the person I was made to be! And once I started talking to myself A LOT and monitoring everything that came into my head, everything slowly but surely started to change!
    Hope I helped , feel free to ask if there is anything you would like to know or any help you need:)

    Thank you very much Bucky and Jasmine , I have already started a bit of the hypnotherapy but so far it has been self hypnosis from guided things that I have found on the internet, since in my country I don’t think they have any hypnotherapists .

    Hello Jasmine, thank you so much you made me think a lot , because I remember as a child I always used to use my stomach ache as an excuse to get out of school, maybe you are right . And also I think this one time I got really sick when I was about 14 and ever since I have had these stomach aches that literally hurts me every single day at least twice a day! I will be sure to try what you sent me and maybe even hypnotherapy ! Thank you very much 🙂

    Hello Lotus, Wow you sound like an amazing strong woman! You have been through so much in your life and have accomplished so much ! You need to understand though that we all get these phases where we feel upset and remember only the bad things in life , but trust me the real you is still there , you are still the beautiful spiritual person you once use to be , you just have to calm yourself down enough to re connect with her. Have you tried guided meditations? Or reading spiritual books? Or say taking up a hobby that you have always wanted to take but for some reason you did not do it? Try to get your life back to feeling like a life! Look for passions and something that you know you use to like before. Maybe you could watch your children , you can learn so much from watching how happy and mindful they are. You could also remember to count your blessings even if it is as simple as the fact that you can still see the world around you and that you are strong enough to overcome everything that you have overcame . Hope this helped let me know if you have anymore Qs

    Hello Lee,
    It is a very big step to start changing yourself , you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone and try your hardest to become the person you have always wanted to be . But trust me it can be done! I was once a completely different person disloyal, not confident, a liar, gossiper and was always very nosy but with self discipline and a hell of a lot of will power , I overcame everything and changed myself in every way and find my true self that I was created to be. You can do it trust me , just remember that you might make some mistakes but you have to be easy on yourself and talk to yourself as if you were your best friend. I would suggest looking for hobbies or something nice that you can do by yourself so you realize just how amazing YOU truly are ! Take time to get to know yourself if you would like to look more into that let me know, I have a lot of links and stuff about finding yourself since I too am on that journey . Try to keep track of the way your changing and break down your goals about how you want to stop your co dependency that way you can see how much you are changing. If you forget to keep track you might feel bad and feel as if you are not changing because it will take time to change your way of life. Just don’t ever give up ! Great things take time!

    Hello Mark ,,
    You seem like a very wise and smart person and I’m sure you are also very interesting to talk to . And you know the fact that you want someone to listen to you is just extremely NORMAL and is exactly what other people should do if they are interested. But sadly there is always people out there who don’t care about anything or anyone but themselves and they think they are the only interesting thing around in the world. Some people may not know what to say or what to ask , but I guess that depends on who you are talking to ! It’s just part of who you are and of normal human needs to want some kind of time to be able to express yourself as well ! And you have all the right to walk away from people you just don’t get along with, you click with some people and you don’t with others . I too like to be listened to once in a while even though most of the time I’m the one listening , and those who don’t want to listen to me I just tend to not get too close to or “click” with them !
    Hope I helped 🙂 Glad to see you post usually I just see you reply to other people 🙂

    Hello Vera,
    Yes I really understand what you mean ! All this new stuff and theories that are coming out that keep saying that we are responsible for everything , makes you feel pressured because you have so much to deal with and to be optimistic all the time ! It is exhausting ! I think you just need to go easy on yourself, I personally believe that you can send out strong signals that may bring you bad things, but sometimes things happen! And you have to deal with it , what you are responsible for is the way you react to it. Anyways , when it comes to not being right now , that is not what it is, we all grow and change , learn and understand new things that is the beauty of life! The journey we have in creating ourselves and making ourselves better and stronger and change the way we think so we can be happy. It is not so much changing yourself as it is just changing the way you control your thoughts, you are just focusing on the better side of you not a different you!
    Hope I helped

    Hello,
    Well it seems as if you have already made a hell for yourself in your mind. I am somewhat of a religious person and consider myself to have an amazing relationship with God, but I too have made so many mistakes in my life , mistakes that religion say will banish you to hell, but that is just the scary side of religion , where they show how mean and frighting God can be. But that isnt the beautiful side of it, if you look deep into your religion you will see how beautiful and forgiving He is, trust me , He has already forgiven you, but you have not forgiven yourself for what you did. We are only human, in my religion they teach us that God has more mercy on us than a mother would have on her newborn child, so I’m sure he has forgiven what you have done. So what you made a couple of mistakes? He’s always waiting for you to return to him with open arms. And they say that He waits and hopes that one day you will return to him . Stop researching and looking for the scary side of the religion , the part that I think a lot of people tend to exaggerate about , this is not how it is suppose to be. And there is no such thing as you are damned to Hell. You are still alive, still breathing , still able to make a change, so He has still given you a chance to change and become a better person and to find your true self. We all make mistakes thats how we learn and grow , it takes a very strong person to be able to change and make themselves better and I believe you have that in you . Try listening to Joel Osteen on youtube , he doesn’t speak of the scary and frighting parts of the religion that fill you up with guilt, he talks about the love of it and how amazing it is. Think of Him as your best friend , thats how I talk to him , every time I pray I feel as if I am calling Him to talk to Him about all the problems I have,thank Him for everything and if I have done anything that would upset Him , I would ask for forgiveness and expect Him to forgive me, because that is a promise He made to us and then I would never repeat what I did again. and I for one can promise you this , He hears you every single time . Just try to start fresh with Him , try listening to more uplifting people, if you can get your hands on ” A pocketful of promises for Women” that would help alot because it is a very beautiful book that makes you feel so loved and cared for from Him
    Good luck and I hope I helped , if you have any questions let me know . We are all in this together 🙂

    Hey Pat
    Yeah it really makes sense at first I had no idea what I wanted to be like , I never really thought about it , all I knew is that I wanted to be someone I was not being at the moment. Well it took me three years to really have the courage to actually do something about it , because at first I was just blaming myself and trying but kept failing. But thats not how it has to be for you, once you make a firm decision to change, you will start to see miracles you just got to push yourself really hard and never ever give up , thats what made me really take big steps , when I finally told myself I HAVE to do this , and I choose to be happy and find the true me now NO MATTER WHAT IS IN MY WAY. remind yourself that you can be ANYONE you want to be all it takes is the right mindset and a lot of practice . You are already taking huge steps by coming on here talking about it and taking the advice you get, and I’m guessing you have been thinking you need to change for a while , so now its time to take those huge steps to change. You DO deserve it! Remember God made you the way you are for a reason , (the way the REAL you is , not the person you are hiding behind) , He made you have dreams so you could make them come true so it is obligatory for you to become this person so you can do what you ! You deserve it and the world deserves to know YOU! It was really smart of you to ask your friend to do that for you , that way you can see yourself through the eyes of someone that loves you. When it comes to getting people to listen to you , the number one thing you got to do is believe that you are worth listing to . Sometimes when we speak we forget that we have the right to talk and without noticing you might be sending that message out to people, afraid of what they may think of you or scared of their reaction to what you say, but what you got to remember is NO MATTER what you do or say there is always going to be someone who agrees with you and someone who disagrees with you. So why even care? They are going to judge you no matter what happens so just say what you mean and mean what you say ! Try to speak more clearly and loud I’m sure its nothing personal its just maybe the way you carry yourself infront of them? Try giving more eye contact and if they interrupt give them a look that says, ok I’m listening but I have something to say as well… Remember you need to believe deep down within yourself that what your saying is worth it. This is why you sit down and get to know yourself and every little thing about yourself , that way when you speak you are sure of what you are saying , it will come with time and practice but you will get there !
    Let me know if you have any more q’s 🙂
