A few ideas: 1) Set a realistic goal. Having a purpose helps maintain your focus from drifting into negative thoughts. 2) Exercise. The mind and body are connected. If you’re having trouble changing your mind, try changing your body and diet and sometimes your mind will follow. 3) Speak to a therapist. Many are free or discounted for certain income brackets and can help you work through deeper issues like the ones you’re dealing with. 4) Meditate. Spending silent time with yourself focusing on letting your thoughts come and go might help illuminate what you want out of life or how to get unstuck. 5) Psychedelics. Some organizations like maps.org offer MDMA-assisted therapy that’s shown highly promising results. Other substances like Ketamine, Psilocybin and Ayahuasca when taken in a group or therapeutic setting can help to physically rewire parts of the brain or illuminate subconscious thoughts and patterns. 6) Try authentic relating. There are lots of groups and events that teach how to relate to yourself and others in a way that creates deeper connections. If you’re feeling isolated or disconnected it gives you a procedure for fixing that. Life is not meant to be devoid of suffering or challenges. I hope you can find a way to move through the tough times with greater ease. And thank you for writing this post, you are not alone in these feelings.
