3 thoughts I try to keep in my mind when things are messy, uncertain or heartbreaking -
1. Sometimes good things fall apart, so better things can fall together.
2. There is always strangely some strength, character, wisdom, and perspective to be gained through every experience no matter how challenging.
3. It all works out ok in the end.
I actually shared this in a story the other but after some of the conversations I have had with people in messages this week I felt it deserved a permanent spot on my profile.
Cheating, drugs, relationship breakdowns, loneliness, health problems, financial stress, and general life struggles...at some point in life it happens to us, or has happened to us all
I appreciate that when you are deep in it, it’s tough. It can be really hard to see past the emotional turmoil, whether that be worry, hurt, overwhelm, desperation, feeling deserted, trapped or a rollercoaster combination of it all.
Obviously when you are in that place it’s going to take a bit of time to work through what has happened, so acknowledgement and acceptance of that is a good first step.
It is absolutely more than completely fine to be in a really low place...but it’s also so important you don’t spend too much time isolated in there.
A good place to start is spending some time on re-building your mindset and improving yourself. This can be as simple as reading books, listening to podcasts, watching inspiring/educational/thought provoking videos, or joining an online community or group, literally anything that helps you with perspective and get your vibes up, even if it’s just for 20 minutes for now.
Another great step is to just take some time out to sit with yourself and evaluate your life, where it is currently at, and where you would like it to be. If you don’t see a vision for your life, and you don’t know where you are going, it’s really hard to make aligned actions to get there. Focus in on how you can move forward by starting to think about all your hopes and dreams.
Sit quietly and think about exactly what it is you want for your future and start writing (or even just visualizing) a list of what you want for your life.
Write down what your dream life would be, what would the perfect day in your life look like? Down to each hour?
What is your dream career? What gives you purpose or drives you?
Where do you want to live?
What type of people do you want in your life?
What do you want for your health?
What kind of money do you want to earn every week?
Then start taking a single step towards those things that light you up most!
I can promise you that there is soooo much more good coming your way and you’ll look back on it all as just a much needed part of your journey, for whatever reason, regardless of how much it doesn’t make sense right now.
Love you all and sending you epic strength and healing vibes
Always here. Always got your backs xxx
