STAY STRONG/ BE POSITIVE/ KEEP FIGHTING

Today I went off on one and created

about ten new designs for my Bluboca store 

and I decided to create them in the theme

of positive thinking because I think it's rather important.

I want to remind people of the simple little things 

that are the key to living a happy life, such as loving 

yourself, staying strong, choosing to live your life,

thinking positively, having hope and a smile on your

face.

I for one needed to remind myself of these things,

because I forget just as much as anyone else, and in

order for me to remain happy, these are the little

things that are going to help both me & hopefully you too.

They're also dedicated to one of my best friends

who suffers from depression and who hasn't been dealt

the best hand in life yet she still carries on

fighting, no matter how hard things get for her.

Her strength is incredible, even though she

doesn't realise it, and I admire her so much.

And these are both a little reminder to her to

stay positive and keep on fighting, but also

a dedication to a truly wonderful person who deserves

only the best in life.

YOU CAN DO IT

So I'll be the first to admit that I suffer

from a little something called self doubt which really takes

hold when my supply of self esteem and

self confidence is running low. 

I hold my hands up in the air sometimes and admit that yes, sometimes

I really don't think I can do things, or that I'm good enough,

or that I'm worth anything.

And I also completely agree that those types of thoughts

are bad thoughts and nobody should ever knowingly inflict those types of thoughts upon themselves or someone else.

No-one, I repeat, no-one, needs that kind

of negativity in their life.

It rarely serves a purpose and if I were pushed to find just

one reason why it's useful, it's this:

it makes you stronger.

(mentally)

So yeah, you still might not be able to get Dwayne The Rock

Johnson into a headlock and sure maybe you still can't flex your

muscles like those buff god like hunks down the gym,

BUT, your mind and your mentality is a whole lot stronger

and I don't know about you, but I'd

rather be stronger and wiser than buff.

 I know right now you're probably like, okay that's very nice,

but why are you telling me this dude?

And yes, I agree, that's a good question.

Well I just wanted to write about this whole self

confidence/ self esteem/ self doubt thing because 

it's actually rather important.

And I want to raise awareness and say, y'know what,

it's alright that you feel those feelings, you're not alone,
we all get like that sometimes and it's okay

to admit that you sometimes feel that way.

What matters though, is that you can pick yourself back up.

Next time you feel a bit poopy, think to yourself, why exactly

am I feeling this way, because 10 times out of 10

there is a valid cause or reason that most probably

needs addressing.

And once you can recognize it, you can deal with it,

rise above it, learn from it, and hey, maybe it won't be alright now,

at this very precise second, but I can tell you one thing,

IT WILL BE.

So don't you worry, and when your self confidence/ self

esteem/ self belief levels are dropping,

stop, collaborate and listen to this:

YOU ARE WORTH IT, YOU CAN DO IT, YOU ARE AWESOME,

YOU ARE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, YOU ARE WORTH

SOMETHING, YOU ARE A LOVELY HUMAN BEING,

YOU WILL OVERCOME THIS, YOU WILL BE SOMEONE, 

YOU NEED TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

So f you're having those thoughts
