I went into my social media group of friends (twitter) and I asked for an idea about a blog post topic. I was given the idea to write about 5 things that were standing in my way and how I overcame them.
So here we go...
1. People who didn't believe in me
- I've got a list - I'm not going to go through it because that would be a waste of my time. Before I was very concerned with what other people thought of me. I had to make a change (see struggle 3) and not worry myself with what people who don't even matter in my life think.
This one people may think is odd but it's the truth
2. School
- It's tough - and while you're going through schooling it feels like it is never going to end. I found it's difficult to get through it until you've figured out how YOU study best and how YOU destress the best. It really took me until third year to figure that one out.
3. Personal demons
- I'm just going to come outright and say it - I dealt with a bout of depression in my first year of university. I won't get into the details in this post but during that time I learnt about how important a good support system is - especially when you're going through a tough time.
4. A boyfriend/girlfriend should never be your life
- I know it's easy (from past experience) to fully dive into a relationship. An important thing to remember is that you still need to be yourself - and take care of yourself. It's important to be invested in your relationship but not so much so that it takes away from your own life.
5. It's okay to open up
- Although this one may be hard to understand I have always had issues with trusting people and opening up. I may be outgoing and I may love to talk (and never stop) but I've had to learn to let people in and confide in them when I'm going through a hard time (re: struggle 3).
There you have it - my toughest life lessons.
Hope you enjoyed this post.
- Jen
