The journey of self-help is what it is. SELF-HELP!
We need to take conscious steps ever so often and just be with ourselves, this could mean just a half hour of sitting in quiet reflection and not necessarily in a ritzy place.
Take that time to outline those reminders that your heart and mind should focus on each day.
Starting out might be difficult, but as the days go by, it comes easier with practice.
No guru, expert or counsellor can practice our self-help tactics for us. They would probably give us insights and tell us what to do, however, the work of walking through it still rests on us.

that’s a great idea! I get reminders on my phone of things I don’t want to do or think about all the time. I should set some that are good for my well-being too

Yes it’s quite true that people tend to forget that they themselves have the keys to really help themselves. People can go from countless therapist and self-help books, but if they don’t do the real necessary homework of remembering to work on themselves on a daily basis none of it may not be enough… People have to put in the effort to reap the rewards and self-help or any therapy is the same…

Absolutely true. At the end of the day, all said and done, it’s still up to the person to help themselves.
