btw you cant save people. the most you can do is try to understand them. the most you can do is let them be themselves. all you can do is empathize, be there

Writing Therapy
This is will be a guide for you to overcome anxieties, be more courageous, and optimistic. Writing is one of the beautiful ways to express our emotions and have a conversation with ourselves.
Write it down
Take a blank sheet of paper and write down how you feel now. This is not an essay, you should not be concerned about the words. Your thoughts should flow and all you need to do is write out out as it comes out. This can happen at any moment, don’t set a time or a schedule for it.
Weekly letters
Write a letter to yourself every week. I do this and it helps me a lot. Every week I reflect on the previous week and my expectations for the next week. I write my highlights and my low moments and it is such a beautiful emotion to capture. After a while, you will open these letters and reflect on how things changed or lessons you’ve learned.
Confront your inner child/ past
Use writing to confront your inner child. You will have to write like a kindergarten. Don’t overthink it, don’t make it perfect, add some drawings. Sometimes I draw a trash can and write everything habit I needs to get rid off in it. Try to recollect memories of things you were once bad at or good at. Writing isn’t just about following prompts sometimes you’d have to write about something related to you, that only you have experienced. For example:
I remember when I first got my braces, I looked awkward, it’s amazing how much my looks have changed…
I remember when I was 10 and this golden retriever chased me…
My mom didn’t let me go to sleep overs when I was 8, I wonder what it would have felt like…
I first experience bulling in 8th grade, Jessica was really a mean girl, I wonder if bullies eventually change…
I used to be the most popular girl in high school, but in college I feel so overlooked. It’s crazy how things change.
I don’t like how I look in pictures now, I don’t know if it’s just my eyes,
I used to like baking, why did I stop, when did I stop?…
I was mean to the pizza guy, I feel so bad, it was wrong timing, is it possible for the universe to send apologizes on our behalves?…
Be in the present
Being in the present means acknowledging your feelings, processing your emotions as they occur, expressing yourself, being your own cheer leader, and support system.
What was the highlight of my day?
What would I have changed?
What did I procrastinate on?
What am I looking forward to?
What am I grateful for?
Am I better than I was yesterday?
What did I learn today?
Why was I sad/happy?
An optimistic approach
Writing in an optimistic tone will keep you motivated. It will give you the hope you need. You are looking forward to an event, a proposal, an opportunity, or a moment. Optimism gives you enthusiasm to chase your dreams. Examples of writing with optimism includes.
I am looking forward to a great week because…
I can’t wait for Christmas, there’s just so much to celebrate…
I see myself being a successful women even though I’m not sure of my passion…
In the next five years, I want to travel to every state in America.
It only gets better…
Oh, I can’t wait for fall and all the peace it brings…
I’ll be 24 soon, there’s so much to reflect on…
Confronting the elephant in the room
This will be the difficult part of the writing because you will have to be honest with yourself, it’s tough love here, and you’ll have to hold yourself accountable. Here are prompts that can help:
Are you sure you want to accomplish your goals?
Why do you want a change in your life, if you are not willing to improve?
When was the last time to made a to-do list and followed through?
Have you read a book since the last month?
What is your excuse for not doing your self-care routine?
Do you trust yourself?
What have you started but you’re yet to complete?
I’d love to start a writing therapy class, it will be so interesting :)
With love,
Black Pearl

Struggling to finish your goals?
Make a list of why that goal matters to you and the ideal outcome of completing that goal. Sometimes we need a visual reference of why we’re doing what we’re doing.
I didn’t feel like working on my finance degree today, and I had to remind myself why I want to complete it.
Why it matters to me:
1. I need the financial knowledge to further accelerate my career in different fields
2. It’ll help me immensely in terms of opportunities because I work on the corporate world
3. Not many people my age are doing this particular course, so completing it will help me stand out, and show something productive on my resume
Ideal outcome of completing the goal:
“I’m sitting at my new job in the financial markets preferably in Dubai, and I can understand what is going on because of my finance degree. My seniors think of me as capable and growth oriented and as a result, they take me on important projects where I get to expand my learning and meet new, high profile individuals. By establishing long term relationships with them, I create a business which becomes hugely successful due to its social impact, whilst not compromising financially.”
It may seem far fetched to you but when you allow yourself to think ahead and decide how a certain goal will determine a certain outcome, it makes you feel motivated to try again and give it your best shot.
