Ladders

- Family – even though I feel pressured with all their expectations about me, they
will be always be family who will always love me more than myself, my
comfort,and my number one support system.
- Friends – they make me sane with all the overthinking that I’ve been doing
especially in this time of pandemic.
- Teachers/ Professors - despite the fact that I frequently chastise them for all of
the schoolwork that they require me to complete and all, they are the ones who
genuinely assist me in reaching my full potential by exposing me to obstacles
that I will most likely face once I graduate and enter the real world.
- Kpop Idols – they may seem like a distraction for most people, but for me they
serve as an inspiration for me to strive harder and meet them in the future
- Small wins – I have always been so hard on myself and I often forget to celebrate
my small wins. However, I realized that those small wins kept me going when
times get rough. And, if you think about it, a win is a win, no matter how big or
small and you worked hard for it, everyone needs a reward for their hard work.
- Help and Support - I have so many kind people in my life that supports me and
help me more than my brain makes me think I deserve but I’m so very thankful to
them and to what they give me for it makes me want to go on even when things
are hard.

Snakes
- Fears and doubts – I always see myself as someone inferior who cannot do the
things that they need me to do, as someone who always needs assistance on
everything and because of this, I have missed a lot opportunities that can help
me realize that no, I’m more than what I think I am but unfortunately, I’m still full
of this and I don’t know how to overcome it.
- Overthinking – This is somehow similar to the one mentioned above for it. I
overthink everything, which leads to a mind that is worried about a lot of things.
Overthinking just eats me up inside to the point that even though I didn’t do
anything the whole day, I feel more tired compared to the ones where I have
been productive.
- Perfectionism – I have always been obsessed of being perfect all the time,
perfect outputs, quizzes, grammar and generally in everything that I do. I literally
couldn’t sleep at night thinking if my I made a mistake here or there. This can
have a positive impact but I’m taking it otherwise because I’ve always had the
thought of being not good enough no matter how well I did.
LADDERS LEGIT
- Family
o Even though I am under pressure from all of their expectations for me,
they will always be my family, who loves me more than I love myself, my
comfort, and my number one support system in this cruel world.
- Friends
o I'm grateful for them for keeping me sane with all the overthinking I've
been doing, especially at this time of pandemic.
- Teachers
o Although I frequently hate them for all of the schoolwork that they require
me to accomplish, they are the ones who help me realize my full potential
by exposing me to challenges that I will most certainly face after I
graduate and enter the real world.
- Kpop Idols
o They may seem like a distraction to most people, but they serve as an
inspiration to me to strive harder and meet them in the future. 
- Small wins
o I've always been so hard on myself, and I'm guilty of overlooking my small
wins. However, I realized that those small wins kept me going when things
became tough. And, if you think about it, a win is a win, regardless of how
big or small it is since you worked hard for it, and everyone deserves a
reward for their efforts.
- Help and Support
o I have so many wonderful people in my life who support and assist me in
ways that my brain tells me I don't deserve, but I'm so grateful for them
and what they give me that it motivates me to keep going even when
things are difficult.

SNAKES
- Doubts and fears
o I've always seen myself as someone inferior who can't do what others tell
me to do, as someone who always needs help with everything, and as a
result, I've missed out on many opportunities that may have helped me
realize that I'm more than what I think I am.
- Overthinking
o This is comparable to the one previously mentioned. I overthink
everything, which results in a mind that is preoccupied with a variety of
issues. Overthinking consumes me to the point where, even though I didn't
do anything all day, I feel wearier than on days when I was productive.
- Being a perfectionist
o I've always been fascinated with perfection in everything I do, including
outputs, quizzes, grammar, and everything else. I couldn't sleep at night,
worrying about whether or not I'd made a mistake. Obsessing over
perfection can be beneficial, but I'm taking it the other way since I've
always felt like I wasn't good enough, no matter how well I did.
