I was at a point in my time during the COVID months where I really and truly wanted to commit suicide, hurt myself, do something. I felt really crummy. I felt clouded in my mind. I was working up all this stuff in my mind where I really didn\u2019t need to but all of these thoughts just came to my mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is okay to have those feelings. Don\u2019t give up no matter how far you want to go with that…hold on to that one thing that keeps you on your own two feet.\u00a0 If it is a cat or a pet you have, or a niece or a nephew, you have to hold on to that and forget about everything else. If that is what keeps you moving and motivated, keep that.<\/p>\n

Spread that positive word and give self-care to yourself by saying \u201cI love myself\u201d and \u201chow cute I am\u201d or something like that…which isn\u2019t something we do very often but that helps with self-care so people can be who they want to be — being themselves rather than thinking they have to be someone else they are not. Don\u2019t give up on yourself.<\/p>\n

I have been practicing Buddhism for more than 5 years and I still do it — it reminds me of moderation. Be still and silent and still be happy doing things for others. You don\u2019t always have to be in the video frame of a recording or of a video. It is about more of what you can give others rather than what you are giving to yourself.<\/p>\n
