In 20 years, you’ll be more upset by what you didn’t do than what you did. 

This automatically seems like a dangerous phrase to me. I don’t want to condone impulsive decisions, but I do want to encourage taking chances on things. If you are reading this, chances are you are unhappy with some aspect of your life. The internet, and hopefully one day, this website, are filled with possible solutions, coping mechanisms, positive habits, and mindset changes that can change your life. So, why not give them a try? 

In 20 years, you can say that you never tried any of the processes and systems that are thrown at you in these forums, or you could say that you tried all of them at least once, and found 4 that work really well for you. You can say that you have been unsatisfied in life for your entire time on earth, or you can say that you overcame this period and are now leading a fulfilling and happy life.

I have been obsessed with psychology/ mental health podcasts as of recent, and on numerous occasions, I see these hosts claiming that some self-care concepts are “uwu”. It is said with such disgust and judgement, and I am encouraging that we walk away from that as a society. If something works for you, then it's perfect. 

My mother always makes me take “no thank you” bites at the dinner table. If I saw a weird food and immediately decided that it was gross, she would make me try it once to see if I liked it or not. I would like to introduce this approach for self care. Next time you catch yourself internally judging the next self-care fad, whether it's manifesting, massages, or gratitude journaling, try it. Take a no-thank-you bite before you write it off as dumb. 

You never know, you might just find the thing that turns your life around.
