14 Things To Try Right Now
- Reconcile Your Past Through Self Inquiry – One of the first most powerful things of the 14 you can do to stop thinking about someone is this – Self inquiry is the process of turning inward and asking ourselves questions about our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and self-exploration. By taking the time to inquire into our own lives, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our patterns of thought and behavior. We can also begin to see how our past experiences may be impacting our present life. Self inquiry can help us to heal old wounds, release negative patterns, and move forward in our lives with greater self-awareness and self-compassion. Self inquiry is the practice that allows you to become contemplative with yourself in order to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. It can be helpful in times of distress or confusion, as it can help you to clarify your thoughts and feelings and gain a new perspective on your situation. Self inquiry can also help you to identify patterns in your thinking and behavior, which can be helpful in making changes that are aligned with your values and goals. If you are interested in exploring self inquiry further, there are many resources available online or in bookstores. One such resource is my Ultimate Self Inquisition Guide. Be sure to download your freebie while you’re here. Self-inquiry takes time and sitting in silence for long periods of time. Get comfy with my favorite meditation chair, i.e. back jack.
- Do Healthy Things For Yourself – Work On Yourself – Healthy things for yourself could be a myriad of things. First don’t self sabotage your mental health by staying stuck and being sad and mopey. Sure mope abound for a day or two, maybe three, ok, we’ll give you a week, but then you have to get back out there and get back at it. Not back at dating or jumping into a new relationship, but back out to your routine and doing things that are good for you. Keeping yourself busy with positive healthy things. A brisk walk can do wonders for a cluttered mind and heavy heart. A little sweaty yoga can definitely take a chip off or binge on your favorite tv show or docu-series for a weekend and pull yourself out of that rut, but no matter what you do, don’t sit around for too long and mope around. That is not healthy for your soul. You have to return to normalcy and get back to daily life.
Don’t let this blow your self esteem. This is a powerful step towards overcoming and getting yourself to a place where you can stop thinking about that certain someone.
- Practice Self Love
Self Love is one of the most neglected forms of love. However it is also the most powerful form of love. We are always looking outward towards everyone else for love, but loving ourselves first and foremost is so powerful that we cannot overlook this.
Some thoughts on self love – could be getting exercise. Working on your body. Taking a bath, Taking a nap. Lighting some candles. Sitting in quietude. (The Douni Sound Machine will help you slow down and bring in the solitude.) Sleeping in on a Sunday afternoon with your weighted blanket or some other warm fuzzy things. Grounding yourself in the grass. Watching a sunset and of course dancing to your favorite beats.
- Get Into Nature
There are countless benefits to spending time in nature. For one, it can help reduce stress and anxiety levels. According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, spending time in nature can lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Additionally, time in nature can also increase feelings of happiness, awe, and wonder. So next time you’re feeling stressed, take a walk in the park or go for a hike in the woods. You just might find that it does wonders for your mental health.
Apart from reducing stress levels, time spent in nature can also improve your physical health. One way it can do this is by increasing levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is important for bone health and immune system function. Unfortunately, many people are deficient in this vital vitamin. The best way to get Vitamin D is by spending time outdoors because our bodies produce it when our skin is exposed to sunlight. So get out there and enjoy some time in the sun! Nature can also help boost your energy levels and improve your sleep quality. One study showed that office workers who had views of nature were more productive and had more energy than those who didn’t. So if you’re looking for a way to boost your productivity at work, try opening up a window or taking a break outside to get some fresh air and take in the sights and sounds of nature. You just might find that it does wonders not just for your soul, but for your concentration levels also!
Here’s what the Transcendentalists Think About Nature.
- Read positive things
Some people believe that reading positive things can help improve your outlook on life and make you happier. My favorite read on Happiness. While it’s important to be realistic and acknowledge the negative aspects of life, reading positive things can help you maintain a more positive outlook. When you read positive things, you’re exposing yourself to different perspectives and different ways of thinking. You might learn about new ways to approach problems, or new ways to view the world. You might also find inspiration in the stories of others who have overcome difficulties. Reading positive things can remind you that while bad things do happen, there are also many good things in the world. This can help you to focus on the good, and to feel more hopeful about the future.
You’ve probably heard the saying, “Positivity breeds positivity.” But what does that actually mean? Well, studies have shown that people who have a positive outlook on life tend to be happier and healthier than those who don’t. And it makes sense when you think about it. If you’re always looking on the bright side, you’re more likely to take care of yourself and make good choices. Plus, positivity is contagious. When you’re happy and optimistic, those around you are more likely to be too. So if you want to improve your life and the lives of those around you, focus on being positive. It really is powerful stuff! And be sure to check out this other very powerful read on Happiness by the Dalai Lama. This book helped in a very dark time in my life.
- Get perspective from others so you can see it in a more objective way – In order to get a well-rounded view of any situation, it’s important to hear from as many perspectives as possible. Talk to your friends, family, co-workers, and strangers about the topic at hand – you may be surprised at what you learn. It can be easy to get caught up in our own perspectives and world views, but by hearing from others we can learn new things and gain a better understanding of the world around us. So next time you’re facing a difficult decision or just want to get a better understanding of something, make sure to seek out those with different perspectives and listen to what they have to say.
Share your personal experience with those close to you and they will be able to help you detach through objectivity. They may see your relationship or this person in a way that could be helpful for you to see as well. When we are in love we do tend to see everything with rose colored glasses. We don’t always see the forest through the trees. We may have made this out to be something it’s not.
It’s important to get perspectives from others, even if you don’t agree with them. By doing so, you can see the issue from different angles and better understand where they’re coming from. This is especially important in today’s world where there is so much division on various topics. If we only listened to those who agreed with us, we would never learn anything new or grow as individuals. So next time you’re in a discussion with someone and you don’t see eye to eye, take a step back and try to understand their perspective. You may not change your mind, but you might just learn something valuable in the process and they might provide an objective point of view on your situation that you didn’t have.
- Forgive Yourself
It’s not easy to forgive yourself. You might beat yourself up for weeks, months, or even years after you make a mistake. You might replay the situation over and over in your head, wondering what you could have done differently. But forgiveness is an important part of moving on. When you forgive yourself, you let go of the anger and resentment you’re carrying around. You give yourself permission to move on from the past and focus on the present. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened or excusing yourself or others for their actions. It simply means acknowledging what happened and then releasing yourself from the self-imposed punishment. So if you’re ready to let go of the past and move on with your life, forgiveness is the key. Forgiveness is hard, especially when it’s you, you need to forgive. Here is my suggestion for a great book that will help put you leaps and bounds ahead on your journey to healing and self forgiveness.
Forgiveness is an essential part of the human experience. We all make mistakes, and we all need forgiveness at some point in our lives. Forgiving yourself can be one of the hardest things to do, but it is also one of the most important. When you forgive yourself, you are releasing yourself from the pain and guilt of your mistakes and the hurt and pain someone may have caused you. You are also giving yourself permission to move on, let that sh** go and learn from your mistakes. Forgiving yourself can be a difficult process, but it is worth it. When you forgive yourself, you are giving yourself the gift of peace and freedom. My favorite teacher on Forgiveness is Dr. Fred Luskin.
- Take Time To Heal – No one ever said that healing was easy. It takes time, effort, and a lot of patience. But it is so worth it in the end. When you heal yourself, you are giving yourself the gift of a lifetime. You are opening up your heart and your mind to new possibilities. You are letting go of the past and embracing the future. The process of healing is different for everyone. But there are some universal truths that apply to all of us. First, it is important to accept that you need to heal. This can be a hard first step, but it is so important. Once you have accepted that you need to heal, you can start to take the necessary steps to heal yourself. This might include therapy, meditation, journaling, or anything else that helps you to connect with yourself on a deeper level. It is also important to be gentle with yourself during this process. Healing takes time and there will be ups and downs along the way. But if you are patient and kind to yourself, eventually you will reach a place of peace and healing. The power to heal yourself is within you. It is not something that someone else can do for you. You have to be willing to heal, and you have to take action. There are many different ways to heal, and the most important thing is to find what works for you. You may need to try several different things before you find something that works, but it will be worth it in the end. The most important thing is to never give up on yourself. You can heal, and you will heal. Just believe in yourself, and the rest will follow. The self-love, self-care stuff works wonders to heal yourself and return to wholeness.

- Accept it –
acceptance is powerfully important in many aspects of life. In our relationships, acceptance helps us to see and appreciate our partner for who they really are. It allows us to let go of preconceived notions and expectations, and to simply enjoy being with them. On a deeper level, acceptance also allows us to forgive them for their imperfections and mistakes. When we can accept our partner – warts and all – we can create a much more intimate, loving connection.
In our work lives, acceptance can help us to be more successful. When we’re able to accept constructive feedback from our colleagues or boss, it gives us the opportunity to learn and grow. It also shows that we’re open to change and willing to improve. This in turn can lead to greater respect and opportunities for advancement.
On a personal level, acceptance can be transformative. When we’re able to accept ourselves – with all our flaws and imperfections – we can start to truly love ourselves. And when we love ourselves, anything becomes possible. We suddenly have the courage to pursue our dreams, take risks, and live life to the fullest. We become happier, more confident, and more content with who we are. So whatever area of your life you’re struggling with right now, remember that acceptance could be the key to unlocking your true potential. [Acceptance] is powerfully important indeed!
11. Find A New Hobby
A hobby is a great way to relax and unwind after a long day. It can also be a great way to meet new people and learn new skills. However, finding a new interest can be a challenge. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect hobby for you:
1. Think about what you enjoy doing. Do you like being active or spending time outdoors? Are you interested in learning new things or mastering a particular skill? Consider your interests when choosing a hobby.
2. Talk to friends and family members. Ask them what hobbies they enjoy and why. This can give you some great ideas for things to try.
3. Check out local community groups and classes. There are often hobby groups that meet regularly to pursue their interests together. This is a great way to find like-minded people and try new activities in a supportive environment.
4. Use the internet to explore hobby forums and websites. This is a great way to get more information about potential hobbies and connect with others who share your interests.
5. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Trying new things is part of the fun of having a hobby. So go out there and explore until you find something you love.
- Don’t play victim
Vctimhood. It’s a popular topic these days. And for good reason – it seems like everywhere you look, someone is playing the victim card. But what does it really mean to be a victim? And more importantly, why do so many people choose to identify as victims? If you want to stop thinking of someone then playing victim is not helpful.
There are a few different ways to define victimhood. One common definition is “a person who has been harmed or killed as a result of a crime.” But victimhood can also refer to the feelings of powerlessness and insecurity that often accompany being the victim of a crime. And finally, victimhood can be used as a political label – for example, when someone refers to “the victim classes” or “the oppressed masses.”
So why do so many people choose to identify as victims? There are a few different reasons. First, victimhood can be empowering. When you see yourself as a victim, you’re no longer responsible for your circumstances. Instead, you can blame other people or outside forces for your problems. This can make you feel better about yourself and help you to avoid taking responsibility for your own life. Second, identifying as a victim can give you a sense of belonging. When you feel like you’re part of a group of people who have been wronged, it can make you feel less alone in the world. Finally, victimhood can be used as a tool for political gain. By labeling themselves as victims, groups or individuals can rally support and sympathy from others and use that to further their own agendas.
Of course, there are also some downside to identifying as a victim. First, it can lead to feelings of hopelessness and despair. If you believe that you’re powerless to change your circumstances, then it’s unlikely that you’ll even try. Second, identifying as a victim can foster resentment and hostility towards others. And finally, it can prevent you from achieving your full potential – after all, if you believe that the world is against you, why bother trying to achieve anything?
So what’s the bottom line? Should you avoid victimhood at all costs? Not necessarily. There are times when identifying as a victim can be helpful – for example, when it empowers you to take action or when it allows you to forge connections with others who have been through similar experiences. But there are also times when victimhood does more harm than good. If you find yourself feeling hopeless or resentful, or if you’re not able to achieve your goals, then it might be time to reevaluate your self-identity and start seeing yourself in a new light.
- Support System
You need emotional support. Your emotional state matters and you want to manage it with the support of loved ones.
Build out a solid support group for yourself. Surround yourself around supportive friends and family. Talk it out with people. Share what’s on your heart and allow others to be there for you as you go through this. Let the pain out. Share your feelings with loved ones cause there support will affirm you are not alone and there is more to you than just this relationship.
One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to find a support. This is a group of people who you can rely on for help and guidance, whether you’re going through a tough time or just need someone to talk to. support systems come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s important to find one that’s right for you.
Here are a few tips on how to find a support system that works for you:
1. Identify your needs. What are you looking for in a support system? Do you need someone to talk to about your problems, or do you need practical help with day-to-day tasks? Once you know what you need, you can start looking for people who can provide it.
2. Ask around. Talk to your friends and family members and see if they know anyone who might be able to help. You may be surprised by how many people are willing to support you if they know what you’re going through.
3. Check out local resources. There are often support groups available in your community, either through religious organizations or community centers. These groups can provide both emotional and practical support, so they’re definitely worth checking out.
4. Use online resources. If there aren’t any support groups available in your area, or if you’re not comfortable meeting in person, there are plenty of online support options available. Again, identify what you need from a support system and then search for options that meet those needs.
5. Be patient. It may take some time to find the right support system for you, but don’t give up! Once you’ve found a group of people who understand and can help you, it will make all the difference in the world.
