Before studying psychology, my mind was weighed down by prejudice, unhealthy assumptions, and inaccurate or useless beliefs.

I was held in place by a rigid structure of social pressure and irrational thoughts. My subconscious was riddled with self-doubt and concern.

When I made a mistake, I was quick to blame others. When someone criticised me, I was quick to defend myself. When I was not immediately impressed by something or someone, it was no longer worth my attention.

The negativity raged through me like crashing waves in a angry sea.

I needed help. I needed to find myself again. I needed to change.

After seeking help and learning the art of yoga and meditation, I have found a way to find peace within myself. I quiet that I never knew existed.

I am now chronically optimistic. I’m rarely plagued by invasive thoughts. I am more compassionate and understanding, and it’s almost impossible to offend me.

I am so proud of what I have achieved.
