In our socially driven world, we often find ourselves trapped in the continuous cycle of trying to impress others, wrestling with an unending pressure to conform to societal expectations and norms. This fixation can manifest itself in various aspects of our lives, with an incredible burden falling upon the clothes we wear and the image we project. But what if there was a way out of this cycle?
No More Worries about Outfits
“I don’t care if I’m wearing a *** to meet the Amazon delivery guy or Uber Eats guy at the door. Also, just give less of a damn about what people think of me in general. I’ve drastically reduced my social media usage, and it’s done wonders for my mental health.”
This person has learned not to worry about others think of their clothes. They feel happier now that they’re not always trying to impress people. They even cut down on using social media, which has helped them feel better about themselves.
Learning to Say No
“Boundaries. Stopping myself from being a people pleaser and saying yes. It’s still a new concept and hurts because of my trauma. Whenever I choose myself and say no, I feel like I’m wounding the inner child by denying someone else something she wanted because that became the only way I managed to obtain love.”
It’s essential to learn how to say no sometimes. This person realized they can’t always please everyone. They’ve started to choose themselves over others, and although it’s hard, it’s helping them grow.
Taking Control Over Body Choices
“Getting sterilized. We have such easy laws here in Denmark when it comes to that. I didn’t know that, and I didn’t look into it until my husband’s sister asked why I didn’t get sterilized when I didn’t want children.”
This person decided they didn’t want children. They found out that they could have a procedure to ensure they can’t have kids, and it’s helped them feel more in control of their bodies.
Clean Dishes, Clear Mind
“Doing all of the dishes at night before going to bed.”
Cleaning can be a hassle but also make you feel good. This person started washing their dishes before bed. Now they wake up to a clean kitchen each morning!
Drink More Water
“Hydrating. Sounds simple enough, right? I genuinely had NO idea that I was seemingly dehydrated most of the time. After dropping my coffee intake significantly and switching to water and green tea instead…man, so much more energy and a way happier mood.”
Something as simple as drinking more water can make a big difference. This person replaced their coffee with water and green tea and found they had more energy and felt happier.
Being Kind to Yourself
“Self-love, not feeling bad for saying no, taking needed rest, and controlling my anger.”
Sometimes, being nice to yourself is the best thing to do. Practice saying no when you need to, take breaks, and don’t let your anger control you.
Healthy Skin
“Stop killing my skin by doing too much to it.”
Our skin needs care, but sometimes we can hurt it by doing too much. This person decided to start taking better care of their skin by not using too many serums or lotions. Nature knows best!
Stand Up for You
“Sticking up for myself.”
It’s essential to make sure others treat you right, as much as it’s important to look after yourself. Standing up for yourself can be the best medicine, sometimes.
Goodbye, Bad Habits

Letting Go of Negativity
“Toxic friends, toxic relationships, and my toxic behavior patterns….”

Eating Happily
“Eating what I want when I want and not labeling foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’”
Food is not just about health; it’s also about enjoyment. You’ll be much happier if you stop thinking of food as good or bad and just eat what you enjoy.
Speak Your Mind
“Know that I may have my thoughts and feelings about things and may voice them even when not everyone feels that way.”
Everyone has the right to speak their mind. You can share your thoughts and feelings, even when they’re different from what others think.
Regular Exercise
“Working out regularly.”
Exercise is a great way to stay healthy and feel good. You may not always like it, but you might find it helps you feel better.
Wanting a Baby
