As humans, we question our lives from time to time. We usually make this showdown in the emotions we experience at the extremes; when we are very happy and very unhappy. In fact, being in quarantine can be one of the triggers. While we are in these emotions, we need to take steps to move forward in life. As we take steps, we feel heaviness in our body and feet; These are thoughts that prevent us from wanting to move forward. What we need to do is to leave those thoughts behind and refresh our belief in ourselves. Because all the answers are hidden within ourselves.
So, what 5 thoughts should we leave behind?

If the person himself is good, the people around him are happier. Especially now we understand this better, I guess. We were alone with ourselves, nobody. We are the only person who will not leave us even if everyone goes. For the person or people who will not be in our lives one day, we should think of ourselves that we will be together for years and remember ourselves at the expense of pleasing those around us.
5) Negative self-talk
Our internal showdown with ourselves, where the subject brings up the subject, often ends in a sad way. Incriminating sentences, wishes, sighs, woes are things we like to use the most. These thoughts usually occur in bed close to our sleep. It starts with "Why didn't I say this in the face of this incident in 2012?"
