You may not find that energy within you. But to survive happily you need to challenge yourself and get close to people. 

Sometimes it is tough to interact with people in these situations. It is basically because of the trauma that hinders us to connect with people. But counteracting yourself and allowing yourself to extend to others will change your mental status. Your group of close people may be small in number but they can do big things, beyond your imagination.   

2. Make a habit of taking care of your physical Body: One of the finest things that Alexa Curtis, mental health bloggers have mentioned in her blog is to take care of your physical body. Keeping your body fit with regular exercise can help you to get rid of all your traumas and self-rejection. 

Exercise not just keeps your body fit but allows you to stay mentally stable. Other than yoga and exercise, taking care of the physical body also includes investing good time in quality sleep, nutritious food, and bodywork like body massages. All these in a whole reduce childhood trauma and help you to believe in love and care. In fact, it is the best medicine to take care of your emotional body. 

3. Be Honest to Yourself: Another step towards overcoming your traumas is to be honest at your life. It may seem to be difficult, but you must recognize yourself, recognize the past attempts that you have taken to keep yourself safe. You must recall the defense mechanisms that you used to get through those absurd situations.   

All these may pinch you at times, but will make you happy when you come to know your strong points. Recognizing them and comparing your past with the present will give you the energy to move forward strongly. 

Even Alexa Curtis has quoted in her blogs, “it starts with a dream. No one has a “cookie cutter” like you see in movies, and the more confidence you have in yourself, the more you realize you have the power to change the world. You are simply as strong as you think you are (which is pretty strong, I promise)”.

4. Appear as if you are not afraid: There might be times when you may feel afraid of taking further steps or your past experience may ponder you. Instead of stepping backward you must appear as if you are not afraid at all. The weaker you display yourself, the more will be the doors open for others to take your opportunities. So as to protect yourself and keep yourself safe, you must not allow fear to overcome your confidence. Acting normally, showing anger, taking a deep breath with compassion, curiosity, and love will help you to be safeguarded always.
