A Life That Looks Good or a Life That feels Good?

Not Everything is as it Seems

Which life do you want?

In today's world, social media has a huge impact on our lives. We are constantly bombarded with images and messages of people who seem to have it all together—perfect bodies, perfect careers, perfect relationships. But do they really have it all together? What is the cost of striving for perfection? Is it truly worth it?

The truth is, a life that looks good on the outside may not always feel good on the inside. Take, for example, a person who seems to have a successful career, but is constantly stressed and unhappy, or someone who has a ton of followers on social media but lacks genuine relationships and a strong support system. Think of the many people whose lives seem great but commit suicide, fall into depression, etc. On the other hand, a life that feels good may not always look good on the outside. Think about a person who dedicates their time to volunteering and helping others, this is not the most glamorous job or lifestyle.

Which one do you want? A life that looks good, or a life that feels good? If you are struggling with this question, know that you are not alone. Many people struggle with the pressure to present a perfect image to the world, and it can be overwhelming. However, it is important to remember that what truly matters is how you feel about yourself and your life. Don’t feel pressured to look good when you feel like sh*t.

So, how can you start living a life that feels good?

1. Focus on your own journey. Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone has their own path in life, and what works for someone else may not work for you.

2. Prioritize self-care. Take time for yourself to do things that bring you joy and make you feel good. This can be anything from reading a book, taking a walk, or indulging in your favorite hobby. For example, if you love yoga, make sure to set aside time each week to practice and relax.

3. Surround yourself with positive people. The people you surround yourself with can have a huge impact on your life. Make sure to spend time with people who uplift and support you. For example, if you have a friend who constantly brings you down, it may be time to distance yourself from that relationship and find new, supportive friends.

4. Practice gratitude. Take time to reflect on the things in your life that you are grateful for. This will help you shift your focus from what you don't have to what you do have. For example, each night before bed, write down three things that you are grateful for that day.

In conclusion, it is important to remember that a life that looks good is not always a life that feels good. Focus on what truly matters—your own happiness and well-being. And remember, you are worthy and deserving of a life that feels good and looks good!
