I have a problem with finding balance in most if not every aspect of my life. It's been an issue I've been going through for a very long time. It's an issue I've never really had a great answer to because of everything I have to consider. For me, finding balance in everything is arguably the most difficult battle I've had to face. This is why I like to dedicate time for myself to analyze my thoughts, values, views, responsibilities, duties, and everything related to meaning, purpose and philosophy. It is not perfect for everyday, one day I don't like what I'm hearing from myself, the next I'm liking what I'm hearing. However, I find it healthy that I am doing this for myself because it allows me to know myself better, to help me recognize and assess what really matters to me, what I actually want in life, what I believe I know is best for me. It is a difficult feat to find balance for me, as it requires me to analyze the realities and other perspectives I find hard to take in because every perspective must be considered; all this effort just so that I can build my stance or build my plan of action on an issue. But because of the harsh but honest truth which I appreciate when told to me, this allows me to separate reality from fantasy resolutions. As painful as it may be, it makes deciding how to handle issues, how to find a balance in things like time management easier to assess.

Every time I finish a mental breakdown, makeup is always my favorite thing to do because it makes me feel prettier and better. Besides (I'm trying) validating myself, makeup just makes me feel in my own zone and it clears my thoughts. It helps to embrace my imperfections.

For me, listening to music is my happy pill that I take almost everyday. Listening to music not only helps me cope from sadness, but also helps me remember my happy self and also helps me reminiscing the old times.

i'd like to be less judgmental of myself and pressure myself less to become the best. I would love to indulge myself with things I want to do rather than things I have to do but don't have interest in. It would be nice to let go of things that don't serve me anymore.

journaling my thoughts has been one of my most favorite ways to cope with things. It's very important to get your thoughts out on something external so that you wouldn't have to deal with pent up problems within!

I tend to invalidate my accomplishments, even the little ones, so I sometimes like to watch motivational videos that could make me feel validated. My coping mechanisms are working out, reading books, and playing with my dog. Sometimes, my coping mechanisms can be draining and I would like to change it up by just doing no action or letting myself watch my favorite show and relax.

I would like to validate myself and my accomplishments more during my self-care. I always put pressure on myself and bring myself down whenever I make the littlest of mistakes. This bullying towards myself can be beneficial at times, challenging me to be better, but most of the time I just end up becoming distressed and having a low self esteem. I would like to find a balance between challenging myself to accomplish more, and validating and celebrating those accomplishments despite my failures.

Discovering coping mechanisms help my mental and physical health such as spending time with family and friends, playing video games, and many more--having some time to yourself can also help.

I would like to work on my self-discipline the most. Temptations can easily get into our minds. This is become culture and tradition has taught us to accept it and just "do better next time". The problem is, when does this "do better next time" end?

I wanna be healthier, simply speaking.

I would let myself do what I want. Of course, that does not include violence or harmful effects, but doing what I want will improve my mental health. It will also make me discover who I am as a person, and what I can learn from my mistakes.

I would definitely like to stop forcing myself to be the best. Coming to the conclusion that doing your best is different from being the best is important and I really need to ingrain that into myself. Listening to music while on a walk tends to help too.

Something I would do differently in caring for myself is doing something new. I would explore a new hobby or anything that might catch my interest. I would try to make a better version of myself all the time.

I personally am too harsh on myself. I will nitpick and beat myself up for even the littlest of mistakes. I never feel like I am good enough, and treat myself and act as such. And so, I wish to be able to change that and eliminate it completely one day. Every time I get progress, everything is just knocked down by a single little thing and I have to start again.

My self-care is a bundle of activities that keep my mental, physical, emotional, and social health balanced, so I would like to learn to step back and do nothing every once and awhile. Yes, productivity is important, but rest is also as valuable.

Something I like to do differently in terms of my own self-care is isolation, going outside, and listening to music.

I want to give time for myself to do the things I want to do.

I want to lower the standard on myself

I would like to be forgiving to myself but at the same time not taking advantage of it.
