We grow up with this set of beliefs and unspoken rules that we either come up with ourselves due to circumstance or experience—or they are instilled in us through parents, teachers and friends. Some people go through toxic relationships with these mentors and peers. As a child, this shapes who you are going to be.
A lot of your negative behavior and mindsets are probably as a result of traumatic childhoods. However, now that you are a functioning adult in society, it is your duty to reflect on these toxic mindsets and correct them.
I’m starting to look into unlearning all my emotional knowledge. I now know that emotions and feelings are manufactured in the brain in form of hormones. Feelings are made to help us survive in life. They are a fight or flight mechanism to protect us from danger. However, now that life on earth is relatively safe, a lot of these emotions are pretty obsolete.
I also know that I have really bad social anxiety, and a lot of people out there actually have some pretty normal cognitive functioning. They are calm and composed when talking to me but I’m sweating buckets talking to people within my peer range. I’m starting to realize that it doesn’t have to always be that way. I’m making an effort to remain cool and composed near people who could potentially be friends.
I’m starting to feel like less of an outsider and more of a legal citizen of this earth. I, too was put on this earth for a reason; a purpose. I am here with a solid story, a life to live, and a purpose to fulfill. It makes almost no sense for me to feel like an alien on a planet I was meant to be in. I’m like all the rest of the people out there. I have a place here.
I’ve also been watching a whole bunch of YouTube videos to learn more about the kind of traumas, disorders and mental issues that I have deeply rooted inside of me. I’m learning to recognize and deflect limited mindsets and to embrace better, and more helpful mentalities.
You know how annoying it sounds when someone tells you to be positive? Well, being positive has worked wonders for me in my life. I feel like I owe so many of my blessings this past year to being more positive in my life. I have hope, now. I look forward to getting all my heart’s desires. After all, I could be wasting that same energy on believing that life is crap.
Furthermore, I’ve been looking into the Law of Attraction / tapping into the universe’s abundance. I’ve actually known about LoA since I was really young; maybe even as young as 11! I used it as best as my little undeveloped brain could handle. It actually kind of wreaked havoc on little me because I assumed that every bad thought was going to come to reality. I actually still kind of do ha ha.
However, these days I know to pick and choose what beliefs I can subscribe to. I only believe in the things that make sense to me. (I say this knowing that a lot of these beliefs make little sense.) It’s all in the power of belief. I surrender so many things to the universe.
I believe that the universe provides answers where there are none. It provides from known and unknown channels. It can give me all that my heart desires. This new mindset of mine has given me so much freedom to breathe and not worry too much about the future.

That’s it for this post, lovely people. I hope you can also learn to unlearn all that you have been taught about emotions and start anew. Life is kinda cool because you get to fix and repair yourself. You get to be a new person any time you feel like. All you need is better mindsets that support growth and development of the soul!
Sending peace and love,
Aza.
