Fear of confronting emotions is like fear of reading road signs.
We build confidence by daring to step outside our comfort zone in small increments.
Our perspective equals our reality, tweak the perspective and you tweak your reality.
Depressed states can make us feel like we're constantly fighting against ourselves but we must engage in that fight for ourselves.
Your eyes will contradict your words if your words contradict your thoughts and feelings.
Introspection and observation of others are vital for the ongoing good health of our own psyche; watch, learn and tweak as required.
