I study at a private school and next year I'm taking the entrance exam, and I'm very afraid of not passing, I'm afraid of reaching 18 and not achieving anything, this fear even gets in the way of my meditation routine, I can't keep a fixed routine. I'm trying to find a job for young people, to help my mother
I'm not currently following any meditation routine, I'm just doing aura protection and physical exercise
I was like you when I was 16. It hurt a lot and I ended up sabotaging a lot of my progress.
It’s important to understand that you won’t achieve anything life-changing at 18, but you can put yourself on the correct path, build easy, but good habits. Taking care of your health will also go a long way.
Invest in yourself, go to the gym, meditate, read books and do yoga. Get a job that helps you learn and also pays to support your family.
Also, practice self-compassion with your ambitions and understand that you’re learning and your brain or personality hasn’t completely developed yet. Change is inevitable, change in your appearance, opinions, ambition, and partners.
It’s weird to be young, at least it is for me. I am not able to enjoy my youth, I didn’t have a good childhood, and I’m not successful yet, either. I had milestones and lucky breaks from time to time and compared to peers I’m on another level but I still haven’t got “there”.
It has also been lonely, very lonely, for a long time. I met some people who seemed like they would cure my loneliness until I get destroyed, backstabbed and traumatized by them. I try to be strong, still.
It’s important to learn to choose good friends and partners, people that are good for you, wish good things happen to you and support you in tough times, even if you don’t completely agree all the time or on most things, and even if you aren’t madly in love with them. They just need to care about you.
Try to be strong always, it’s easy to deteriorate in your youth, it’s stronger to invest in your future and self.
