You are stronger

You are stronger than you think. 

Right now, you might be going through a problem, a challenge, a situation that feels awful that you want to run from.

You can tell your friends about it but you have to live it yourself. It’s not fun. Every day the problem is there and it’s not going away. 

You find ways to deal with it. But it’s hard because it keeps growing and it stays there. It’s affecting your mind and your health. 

You can’t sleep. You struggle to eat. Your mind plays the thoughts over and over and it’s consuming you. You don’t know how to fix it. Because you can’t control it. You can only deal with it as each day it comes. It might change in different ways but it’s dirtier than ever. It plays hard and fast and you don’t know how to respond. You want to run but you know you can’t. 

And then you do everything you can to stop it. To solve it. To fix it. You spend all your waking moments trying to think of new ways. It consumes you. 

And something happens. The problem goes away. The darkness slowly leaves. But you are still weary. You are still worried. Still fearful. And you wonder, could it happen again?

But things have changed. You have put things into place and into motion that if something like that happened again, you would know the warning. You would be prepared. You would see the red flags. Your trust may feel like it has disappeared but then you start to notice other things.

Beautiful moments. Beautiful hearted people. Beautiful things that start to surround yourself. And your heart softens. And then as time goes by, somebody asks you about that dark period of your life. And you realise as they tell you, “they wouldn’t have known what to do in that situation and they would have run away from the problem.” You realise, how strong you are now. 

You are so strong. But also how strong you were going through that darkness and never giving up. It doesn’t matter how hard it was for you, you got up every day and hoped for something better. And that day finally came. And you realised, “Wow. Look at me. I don’t know how I did that. But I am so strong now more than ever and I will never let that situation happen again.”

But not just that, you discover the importance of life. Even in the very hard times, find something to be grateful for. Find the reason you are fighting to keep going. And find the lesson you needed to learn during one of the toughest problems. Because self-reflection is key. It’s not just, “I can’t believe it’s over.” 

“It’s I survived one of the darkest moments and now look at me. I am stronger.”

Be in the moment

Image
Image by Toàn Lê from Pixabay Think of your favourite colour. Now imagine you are holding something in your hand that is your favourite colour. Think about how it feels. Is it soft and smooth or has intricate details or maybe it is heavy and hard?  Think about the size. Does it have its own unique size or is it large, medium or small? What is the shape look like?  Does the object have a scent? For example, maybe a purple object has a lavender scent or maybe a wooden object has a wood scent. Does it smell nice?  Why do you like this object that you are holding? Does it make you smile? Maybe it brings you comfort? Now during your hard times think about this object. Think about how it feels and smells but most important think about how this object makes you feel.  #objects #sensory

I'm the boss

Image
Image by gnanasathees suntharam from Pixabay Sometimes, you might be facing something tough. Something you would rather avoid but you can't.  So pump up the music and remind yourself, you are the boss.  Walk like you are the boss. Shoulders back. Head held high. And your face can be as you want it. No fakeness here. You just be you.  You are going to go all into this situation and you are going to represent yourself.  It does not matter how tough you may feel the situation is. Why? Because, you are the boss.  You got this.  You may not be able to control the outcome, but you are going to show-up and give your best in whatever situation. The best is all you can give, this is what you can control. So give it.  Always be respectful and polite but remember you got this. Be the boss.  #betheboss #confidence #challenges

Have you been told this before?

Image
Image by Hoàng Bình from Pixabay I wonder if anyone has told you, you are a very special and an important person. It doesn't matter if no one has told you because I am telling you right now.  You are special You are amazing You are an important person.  All that matters is that you tell yourself the above over and over, until you smile. Why till you smile? Because that is when you believe it.  Imagine if you could fly.  Where would you go? What would you see? Imagination is by starting to visualise where you want to be, who you want to be... tell yourself or write it down, where do you want to be and who do you want to be? It doesn't matter when.  Just where do you want to be? By visualising every day the same visual thoughts of where you want to be, you start to be motivated to find ways, steps, goals, people to meet to find ways to get where you want to be.  Now is not the time to give up. Now is the time to remind yourself what you knew deep down all al...
