The path to a better version of yourself is full of obstacles. We tend to believe that something is wrong with us. Where should we look for the roots of these thoughts? Most of the reasons are hidden in the secret caskets of our childhood memories. Family quarrels, reluctance to hear the concerns, and the words "you're making it up, you're fine" devalue your feelings. Many triggers make us doubt ourselves.

Everyone wants to live the life of their dreams. And it all starts with taking care of yourself. It will be of service even if you had a great childhood. You are the director in the film about your life and choose the path of the future. Living better is a choice. Yes or no? The answer is yours.

Your age is just a number. It's never too late to make a U-turn in your life. The main thing is to discover yourself and your difficulties. Is this pain from childhood? Not always. What if your childhood wasn't so bad? Thoughts creep into your head: "My parents gave me a lot, but I struggle to live my best life today."

Don't blame yourself, and don't be ashamed of your feelings. Hiding from them is a bad idea. Focus on how you feel, and never compare yourself with others. It is necessary to decide what to do next. Here are some principles from Tara Schuster that may come in handy one day. Keep in mind that you are always responsible for yourself. Not everyone has superhero parents or other adults in their life. Imagine that there are no mentors to follow you into the uncertain future. If you want a comfortable life, care for yourself, and move forward.

Put a bandage on the emotional wounds. It would help if you analyzed all the painful places in your soul. The technique of re-parenting comes into play. It will help you determine what kind of support you lacked before so you can give it to yourself. Think about what your brain and heart need and give it to yourself. Maybe it's a feeling of love that no one expressed towards you.
