Understanding Your Journey

During adolescence, itrsquo;s common to experience emotional ups and downs. Depression can be a significant hurdle, but remember, you are not alone. Here are some key points to consider:

You are doing things wrong because your life is not ldquo;workingrdquo; for you. This is an opportunity for change. Your feelings, even the strong and confusing ones, are a natural part of growing up. Accept them, and they will pass. Your journey is long, and you have at least 50 years ahead to make them count. Embrace this time and start making a difference today.

Letrsquo;s approach these challenges in a simplified and problem-solving manner. Herersquo;s what you need to focus on:

Your First Steps Forward

The most important thing is to find inner peace. Start with meditation. Dedicate 30 minutes every day, and yoursquo;ll soon notice positive changes. Look into my Quora Spaces post for more detailed guidance on this topic.

Your diet is crucial too. Gradually shift towards healthier choices:

No more soft drinks or bubbly stuff. Opt for simple tea with a hint of honey. Drinks can include water, milk, and fresh juices squeezed at home (e.g., orange juice, smoothies). For eating, prioritize fresh, healthy, natural foods. Aim for a balanced dinner: 55% vegetables, 25% potatoes/rice/pasta, and 20% meat. Drink two glasses of water with each meal, and avoid overeating. Use my 85-15 principle for a balanced approach.

If yoursquo;re facing challenges or need further support, donrsquo;t hesitate to message me. Connecting with others can provide immense comfort and guidance. Remember, itrsquo;s okay to ask for help.

Growing up is about becoming the best version of yourself. With time and effort, yoursquo;ll be strong, confident, and empowered. Start small and build from there. The rewards are worth it.
