Hit The Reset Button
After some amount of living, I’ve learned that life isn’t all sweet and romantic, at least, not all the time.
Things don’t always happen as we’ve planned. Expectations kick in, anxiety joins, and sooner than later we’re just a temporary mess of everything mixed with everything.
Now, that’s not the end of the story. Whenever we get into a hump, and all of us do, there are plenty of lessons we can learn so we can bounce back better.
If you look around, technology and globalization encourage us to reach our full potential or press the reset button despite our ages, past, experience, etcetera. And that does not only apply to the business arena, it can definitely be extended to most areas of our lives, including the way in which we perceive existence but you need to get used to the idea of life not happening in your timeline or expected schedule.
Read that last sentence again and let it sink in. If you’ve been into self-preservation, or you have had some crisis and most importantly, if you’ve been living in survival mode, this might be a hard pill to swallow because it’s out of all your systems.
In my own experience, the healing that comes after difficult times has made me stronger and way more focused on my own journey, more aware of it all. Succeeding after some adversities that I’ve been through has placed a lot of meaning in my life and, if you stop for a second and look back, so many of the things you’ve gone through taught you how to proceed the next time, right?
A positive outlook may help us tackle life on a physical and cognitive level and it represents strength, bravery, assertiveness, intention. There’s so much fueled by positivity and that changes everything so, life may not be all sweet and romantic, remember? But you can foster kindness and choose to romanticize it, to be sweeter, more open to change and chances. Promise you that this is a huge key to learning and those lessons are the starters of amazing skills.
Don’t get me wrong. In this particular era, many of us make the huge mistake of sweeping our emotions under the rug because of this whole trend of perfectly put-together lives and healing journeys that look all happy and beautiful. We sometimes think that we are all supposed to be giddy all the time.
Such an ideal is unattainable and unrealistic.
It sometimes makes many of us think that if we’re not happy, it’s our fault. That is very wrong. Stop and feel your feelings, be okay with having issues and needing to have uncomfortable conversations. It’s part of human life to experience both positive and negative emotions. These two balance out when managed properly.
If you need help, I’d be incredibly happy to support you. I understand you. My community does as well. You're not alone.
Love, K.
