Introduction: Understanding the statement "I Hate My Life"
Have you lately found yourself in situations where you feel and say, "I hate my life"? If so, please know that you are not alone, and if you need it, I can support you by taking the first step of listening to you. When saying "I hate my life" comes often, we are not talking about a meaningless teenager's tantrum.
Did you read last week's article about The Tower Card? (Also the monthly reading) Sometimes, a "tower situation" jolts you awake to take action to start materializing abundance and positivity in your life, something essential to regain happiness.
When you compare yourself with others, you have a hard time acknowledging struggles, you have a constant negative bias while constantly comparing yourself with others while putting yourself down, and you need some support to stop this lack of self-compassion.
If you feel like saying, "I hate my life," you will find some support here with this article. If you feel that these emotions are controlling your day-to-day life, please make sure to seek help. You are not alone. Contact Crisis Text Line if you need support. On top, I will be happy to help you add you to my healing list and support you with some personalized free healing too, so feel free to reach out.
Why do I hate my life? Causes Behind Feeling It
If you wonder why you hate your life, please don't be hard on yourself. Don't feel bad for feeling bad, and instead, let's take together the smallest and tiniest step ever into improving your mood. You are not meant to be unhappy with life forever.
It is easy to feel bad, and a lot of times, you only find great guides such as how to amplify your mental toughness or how to be more resilient. These are great tools, but sometimes, more help is preferred. So today is about finding 7 easy steps that you can take to feel better. Let's start from step one, that little step. But first, I want to mention what feeds the potential to say "I hate my life," so you can start by trying to slow it down, at least a little.
Comparing yourself to others, especially social media/celebrities
If you want to feel bad, go ahead and keep using electronics all day, especially social media. I know it sounds a little harsh, but it is true. If you are feeling bad because whoever has a better life than you, I am not going to ask you to take action; it is not easy, but at least... close that window, for goodness' sake! Stop looking towards others, and start looking towards yourself. This alone will reduce the number of bad reminders.
Career dissatisfaction
This one is a powerful downer that strongly promotes saying, "I hate my life," and perhaps most people have experienced this at some point, or at least the classic, "I hate my job." This one can range in difficulty to deal with, so what I advise you best is to honor as much as you can your time off, focusing on the now and stopping thinking, "tomorrow is Monday." The tiniest step always helps, and some simply are about "stopping to do something hurtful."
Body Image dissatisfaction
Another problematic one, and similar to comparing to others. Perhaps you don't compare yourself with anyone, and yet you dislike your body. It is tough to deal with this one, so the best thing is to find and focus on what you feel more positive about yourself, and if you can do something to start changing others, or at least, to ask for some help.
Relationship and social conflicts
You, like every other human being on Earth, are a social creature, and lack of socialization is really dangerous and depression-provoking and also a powerful enabler to take you to say, "I hate my life." Here, you can focus on what you can hold the strongest, or at least what seems more promising.
From here, a few more, such as negative bias or former traumatic events, but remember, regardless of the problem, you can always seek help.
The 7 easy steps to stop you from saying, "I hate my life"
I say the first step here is that you start accepting you need to say, "I hate my life." There is nothing wrong about it, besides your lack of happiness. No one should judge you because you feel bad.
Your healing starts when you accept this problem; the next step is simply taking it, no matter how small it is. For starters, I will indeed suggest you take the smallest step you can, because it will be your first step into progress. From here, 7 quick suggestions:
- Self-Compassion: It might sound like a difficult one, but in reality, it is the easiest one. This doesn't mean you must go from hating it all to being 100% compassionate... but let's aim for 0.5% as the first step. You say 0.25%? Worth it. Start by accepting you are not okay and gifting yourself the gift of taking at least the tiniest step towards improvement.
- Limiting Social Media. It is not a personal quest against social media, but there is a growing awareness that some actions here are dangerous. How do you feel after looking at everybody's awesome lives? If you are feeling unhappy and like "I hate my life," better look for something more realistic and inspiring to you, something that can give you even a small idea to make you feel better.
- Focus on your thinking and make a real change when possible. This one is quite foundational, but it doesn't mean that you need to go from zero to hero. This is why I said, "take the tiniest step," because if you do, you will start to see a change, and this will give you more happiness to keep going and take another step, and then another, and another. Bring these positive emotions to your thinking and replicate them.
- Nature is your friend. It seems to be always "the nature thing," but this is your "I hate my life" talking. Sometimes, when feeling personal dissatisfaction without the ability to change things right now, spending time in nature can be very relieving. Not only do you unplug and cleanse, but also you empower your root chakra, making you feel better overall and more connected.
How are you feeling so far? These are not too difficult, right? As long as you feel a bit better, you are winning, and if you don't feel better yet, be patient and keep taking these small steps; you soon will. Okay, let's continue:
- Positive social connections. Another cornerstone, and you know this one well. Perhaps you don't have anyone to connect with that you truly know will be there, and if so, little by little you should work on making new connections, one at a time. If you have at least one positive connection, embrace it, put your energy into it, and eliminate unnecessary connections that might only bring drama and negativity.
- Work little by little on your resilience. Is there a thought or former victory that makes you feel better? If so, focus on it; it doesn't matter if it's an old victory. By focusing on it, you empower that energy and materialize more through both the Principle of Correspondence and Mentalism. A big three-in-one, because besides making you feel better and aiding manifesting, you also build mental resilience, making you stronger and moving you away from sadness.
- Seeking professional mental support. If you feel that "I hate my life" emotions are controlling your day-to-day life, please make sure to seek help. You are not alone. Contact Crisis Text Line if you need support. On top, I will be happy to help you add you to my healing list and support you with some personalized free healing too, so feel free to reach out.
As you can tell, these are some good and simple steps you can take, and by taking only one at a time (to get started, I recommend you try #1 or #2, or perhaps both, by at least "reducing the dose" of social media instead of quitting cold turkey). The more you move forward, the better you become, and the less you feel the need to say, "I hate my life."
Why do i hate my life even though it's good
This is a powerful question that perhaps you are wondering about. Sometimes, one single word can answer this question: Unfulfillment. You perhaps feel that you have a purposless life, or simply you don't know your purpose. It might be you don't even know what you like, but you are not to blame, but society that didn't teach you to harness this since little.
Ultimately, humanity as a whole doesn't yet know the full extent of our capabilities at many degrees. It is possible that you are good at things that right now are not necessary, but they will be down the line.
If you feel disconnected with your doings entirely to a point of saying "I hate my life," it is time to ponder, and also seek for help, as there is nothing wrong to feel bad. Perhaps you are even fulfilling your purpose and you don't know it, or it is something that you will do at some point. Don't stop looking for things you like and bring fulfillment.
Conclusion
You know the best way to wrap this up, take your first step! No, seriously, I mean it. Take your first step, and with that, you will set in motion powerful healing. It is not about feeling awesome tomorrow, most likely you won't, but it is about feeling slightly better down the line, because little by little, changes will be noticible.
You don't need to rush to feel better, and if you are feeling very lost, you can always look for support, and if someone is not supporting you in a difficult phase in your life, you should try to work this out with them, and if they don't cooperate, remove them from your life.
Today, the path to feeling better for you is starting. I programmed some healing energy to fill you up as you read this article, to give you that little spark so you can take that one last push.
