Person 1

CONCERN:

I usually talk or mingle to people's that only surrounds me like my family and friends. I
don't have self confidence and courage to socialize with others. When I have dilemmas I bear it
with my own. I hope that theirs a person that would help me to be socially open to other people
not just to my family and friends. That would help me to be motivated and to have high self esteem,
trust and confidence to myself so that I will be physically, mentally and spiritually confident as
future manager in nearest future.

ADVICE AND MOTIVATION:

Hello, first of all, I hope you're doing well and you're having a great day! So for this, both
of us have the same concern. I prefer talking to my friends and family cause I feel like they're
really the one who understands me a lot since I've known them for so long already. But in your
case, you also said that you're having a difficult time socializing with other people, besides your
family and friends and then, you're just dealing every problems of yours in your own. Well, it's not
that bad if you're often interacting with your family and friends because this is how you feel
comfortable. But dealing with your own problems, most of the time, is not that easy because I also
experienced that a lot of times already. Let me share you my story, during my highs school days,
of course I have friends but most of the time, I like to deal with my stuffs alone and I don't see any
problems about it. Sometimes whenever I had a problem, I tend to just solve it without asking help
from others probably because I believe that I also can do it just by myself. But as I am growing,
experiencing so many things and being mature enough, I totally realized how this saying, "No man
is an island" matters a lot especially when it comes to having our concerns.

Yes being alone is good but not all the time, not always. You need to have someone who'll
listen to your thoughts even to your problems, worries and concerns. That's why we have friends,
because we tend to share more of those to them instead of our family. So, everything will follow
as you start opening your heart and thoughts to them. You're dealing with your dilemmas in your
own right? So better start with this. Try to start the conversation and let all of your thoughts to be
heard. In that case, you're starting to build up your social aspect and as time goes by, you'll see
how much you have improved. If you can do it with your friends, you can probably do it to others,
I'll assure you for that. You're starting to build your confidence when it comes to interacting not
only with your family and friends but also to other people.
 Yes it took time but you can do it cause I already did too, so I believe in you! But please
choose those people whom you're sharing your stuffs with. It's not about judging them, just be
careful so that you won't feel upset, choose others whom you really can rely onto, whom you can
trust with your stuffs especially on today's generation, we really need to be careful with others but
stop the mindset of judging them first, because you can also feel it if this kind of person is seeking
kindness, can be trusted and reliable. The thing that I love about interacting with others is that, you
can learn from them and they're learning from you because of those that you all have experienced.
You tend to grow and develop more to be a better version of yourself and you can help others if
ever they have concerns too. Those experiences and learnings will lead you to success and
socializing is very important to work so this will definitely help you. Please never doubt yourself
and your capabilities again because we're all unique and you can do better on your own unique and
personal way. If you believe in yourself, every good and positive things will follow. Thank you
for letting me share my advices and thoughts with you, I hope you learn and get some positive
stuffs on me. I'm cheering for you, Godbless and goodluck on your future endeavor, take care!

Person 2

CONCERN:

Well I have this problem po but I think I'm nottasl the only one who feel this.I always
hesitant in applying in a particular job because I make an assumption that I will not fit for that due
to some of my physical aspect and receive rejection in failing for interviews. Last time my friend
encourage me to apply but I decline it fast that is because I'm afraid to be compared. That when
we apply and then she will be accepted and I'm not, I will feel down and ask myself a lot of
questions like why I'm not accepted and she is? Am I not enough to prepareD in that job? Where
did I lack? That's what I think every time she will ask me for applying. I know for myself that it's
really important to start looking for a job when you still young even just for a part time because it
will be helpful for me in the future. I will gain experience that are needed by the company or
organization that I'm planning to apply later on, especially now that we have this pandemic. This
will serve as advantage and create more opportunities to be accepted in a job. What will I do then
sir for that matter?How can I change my perspective in life?Can you give me some tips on
applying?(If hindi naman po nakakahiya HAHAHA)
ADVICE AND MOTIVATION:

Hi! I understand what you’re going through with the job application. And just like what
you said most people usually felt that way and get nervous when applying for a job and I guess it
is normal especially when it is your first time. We start questioning our capabilities and these are
the “What Ifs”. We all have moments where we worry about our “what ifs”. Well, in the reality of
life full of competitive people, just be true and believe in yourself on the process of making another
step of your life as part of an early stage of adulthood. This is actually a necessary part of our life
to guide us in the decision-making process. However, this sometimes becomes overwhelming and
might cause anxiety.

The best I could advise you is to ignore your inner critic. One of the reasons why we have
low self-esteem is because of our inner critic and this will lead us to unhealthy habits of predicting
and continuing doubting ourselves. You need to unhear those critics to start building and boosting
your confidence The most important thing is taking the risk and trying for that job application
regardless of whatever outcome it will be. Never ever compare yourself to your friend because the
both of you have different capabilities and uniqueness that are best and worthy, also you don’t
know yet what is the results so be confident and calm. Don’t jump onto negative assumptions as
this will less motivate you to apply on it and trusting your skills. As to changing perspective in life
we have different goals and purposes, and how we deal with it. For you to able see through it, look
in the mirror and face yourself speak up and say all your positive traits and you’re proud of. With
that, you know you’re enough and being the best version of yourself looking only to your own
progress even its small at least there’s an improvement.

Applying for a job is tough but for some tips I can give you is to be prepared by searching
and studying what job and from what company it is. Learn through watching in YouTube or ask
friends who already applied for that particular job. Let your positivity flows into your brain and
body while practicing speaking and have a charming look. Being prepared ahead of time and the
habit of practicing is the best and help you ease what you feel. Lastly, just be yourself, smile and
pray for the process. You can do it! Let me quote this from Dr. Robert Anthony “You can have
anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can’t have it.”

If that’s God will, just trust and have faith on him. No matter what results it is, remember
that life is all about lifelong learning that failures will make you right and success will make you
strong. Just be positive! 
Person 3

CONCERN:

I think, I am sick and it causes me to get tired easily. I am worried that I have an internal problem
on my tummy and I am indeed scared of injections or am I just overthinking.

ADVICE AND MOTIVATION:

I know you're experiencing something that leads you to think negatively but I am here to
remind you that you are not alone in this kind of battle, I myself have experienced this but I always
think of the future so my motivation is, I need to be strong and be healthy, I'll think positively
because every problem has a solution so don't hesitate to ask for some help regarding to your health
issues especially with your family members or friends who supports and loves you. Please take
care of your health, to make sure you’re safe do not be afraid to get a checkup and know what is
wrong as the real slap is to be scared of not knowing what’s happening already. Take a day of rest
by having enough sleep, eat healthy foods, meditate and knowing your worth and value.

Whatever you feel do not overthink, but let the optimism reside on you. Overthinking is
not good for the both of mental and physical body. Remember health is wealth, prioritizing your
own is an affection of self-love. Always remember that we aren't robots, we are human being who
feels ache and pain but we rise.

Person 4:

CONCERN: I've got a problem with my confidence especially in speaking and with the eye
contact. Can you give me po an advice on how I can practice to be more sociable and lessen my
shyness towards other people.

ADVICE AND MOTIVATION:

Building confidence is not something that you can achieve overnight. It is a process that
you need to undergo for a certain period of time. First of all, what I can advise you is that you need
to surround yourself with people that will help you grow.
 Imagine being part of a circle that motivates you, who believes in you and most importantly
those who are genuinely happy for your success. These things would definitely be a motivation for
you to do something that you think you cannot do. Sometimes, people just really need that extra
push to try out new things. If you are ready enough to do all of those, then give it your best shot.
If not, take one step at a time. Join organizations, attend webinars, and participate in activities that
you think you can do or if you’re not comfortable with it, start with intrapersonal communication.
Make your own speech or dialogue, and recite it in front of a mirror or inside your own room.
Think of your imaginary audience and slay your speech. Doing things over and over again will
help lessen the burden of unfamiliar feelings. Most importantly, you need to give yourself some
credits. Believe that you can overcome it no matter what. Take that first step now and go get it.

Person 5:

CONCERN:

My problem is having low self-esteem. Having no confidence in everything I do that even if I do

my best, it’s still not enough. My problem is about myself. I hate being me.

ADVICE AND MOTIVATION:

Hate is a very strong word. I once read a quote saying, “poison isn’t always something you
eat or drink—it can be an emotion.” Hate is one of these emotions and its primary job is to destroy.
Meaning, the reason why you have low self-esteem is because you allow your emotions to pull
you down. I know during this time; it is hard to find a motivation and happiness and its okay to
feel that but, it is not okay to allow that idea to dominate you. Because it will be a poison that will
continue to destroy you and your performance and your relationship with others. Just imagine
“hate” as a person it can be a ‘basher,’ right? A basher will do everything just to see you hopeless,
failed and destroyed, will you allow it? This battle is between you and yourself. Remember that
failure is still part of success. It’s okay to try again. Life is not a race. Treat yourself just like how
you treat your best friend or loved one. Surround yourself with people that will motivate you to
reach your dreams. And lastly, celebrate your success even the small ones because a little progress
is still a progress.
Person 6:

CONCERN

Lately I've been losing interest in my course, and I have trouble focusing on my academics. I
feel like I'm not motivated at all, I don't know what will happen to me in the future.

ADVICE AND MOTIVATION:

Your feeling is valid. It’s normal to feel demotivated especially at times like this. Looking
back, before entering college no one really told us about these different programs offered in the
university. We don’t even know the differences between these majors. We only picked whatever
sounds good or something that’s kind of near to what we really wanted to study. However, since
you are already in your 3rd year under this major, I do understand that it is hard to start from
scratch again if you choose to change your program. What I can advise you is that you do one
thing at a time. Do not rush everything. Keep your own pace. If you don’t feel like studying today
or finishing an activity, then don’t. Give yourself enough time to finish everything. To feel
motivated, think back on why you wanted to study in the first place. Perhaps because you want to
help your family? Or you want to buy everything you want with your own money? Set some goals
that you can look forward to. Furthermore, do not just dream about it. Do something. It is not that
good to overthink about the future but what your present self will do right at this moment will
contribute on what you’re going to be years from now.

Do not be afraid to try out new things. Look for something that you really enjoy doing.
Who knows, maybe in the middle of your journey you can find the right job or thing that you really
want to do. Just always remember that we are all a work in progress. We do things then we fail,
and it’s absolutely normal. Failure is the mother of success, they say. Most importantly, give
yourself some love, care and a pat in the back. Just existing itself, is already a job well done. Keep
your head held high and project a smile. I believe in you. You can do it!
Person 7:
CONCERN:

These past few months I feel lost, I don't know why but I'm trying to distance myself from
my friends or even with my family. I feel drained and I'm always in my room, I barely go out of
my room. I'm trying to figure out why this is happening but up until now I still don't know. I'm
trying to fix my sleeping schedule because I messed it up but I can't. Though I'm experiencing all
of these it leads me to focus more on my studies because it helps me to temporarily forget negative
thoughts.

ADVICE AND MOTIVATION:

It's not so bad to keep a bit of distance from friends and family, provided that the distance
does not affect your sociability. Sometimes, we get things done more efficiently when alone.
You’re lucky though, to find friends who would be of great help rather than someone who would
drag you down. As for family, never cease loving them. Keeping distance is OK but don't go away
for very long. Forgiving and forgetting I guess comes with how much you value your morality. If
you are a perfectionist, or someone who cannot tolerate mistakes, this feeling is likely to manifest.
I'd say you just loosen up a bit and put to mind that humans are imperfect. You'd be punishing
yourself if you continue being too stiff. There's nothing wrong with being happy to be alone. When
you're around so much crap and you understand what's wrong, you have the right to disassociate
yourself from them. Live peacefully, but don't lose friends.

I know isolation is kind of your coping mechanism and that's okay if you can do your task
while keeping a distance from your loved ones, it's totally fine too. But always remember that you
can show your vulnerable side to others, never forget that you have your friends and your families
that you can lean on. Don't hesitate to open up yourself to them if you can't handle it. 

Person 8:

CONCERN:
When the time that I can't actually know what to do and suddenly feel pity about myself. I often
feel like I'm not good and then I start worrying. This is the moment that negativity almost filled
my mind and this is the time that I badly need someone to talk to just to divert my thought and
probably give me some advice and motivation.
ADVICE AND MOTIVATION:
There are days that it's really difficult, it's painful, it seems like everything's falling apart
and you don't know what to do, where your life is going, everything's overwhelming and yet you
feel blank. Those days are normal and its okay not to be okay. Whenever those hard days happen,
please be kind and patient to yourself. Cry, let it out. You need to release your emotions and all
the weight you've been carrying. Pray, talk to Him. Tell Him everything, all your hurt, worries and
pain, surrender it to God. Ask a friend so you can vent out, your story is worth listening.

Someday, your life struggles will be your testimony and it will inspire a lot of people.
You are here because you should be. We might not figure it out yet but as we go on our journey,
we shall find our purpose or maybe unconsciously we're fulfilling that purpose already. Be good
and live the life you want to have. So, don't feel bad about yourself, nobody else can replace you.
You're best as you are, no ifs and buts—don't ever forget that.

One day, all your confusions will be replaced with answers. So while you're unto figuring
it out, don't lose hope, it might seem too messy and complicated but believe that everything's gonna
be okay because it surely will and everything will fall into its place. You know what? Right now,
you're doing good and you're on the process of your greatness. I'm proud of you for getting through
each day, for not giving up and for choosing to continue despite the circumstances, you are so
brave! You've fought too much and the best is yet to come! xoxo
