You are stronger than you think

in #life7 years ago

I hope you're well and your life is on an even keel, that you're not suffering from overwhelm or feelings of inadequacy, a lack of confidence. Or simply that there is just a lot of stuff going on in your life and you feel as if you're losing control. I hope this is not you, but I fear these words will be all too real for some of you.

We look at the online world, our peers, people we look up to, the one's we think have 'made it' and it all seems so easy. They are so shiny with their perfect lives and we feel worse about ourselves. You might want what they have, for it to be that easy for you, but you never really know what goes on behind closed doors. You see we are ALL fighting our own demons, whether they are related to our blogs or not, chances are these demons will affect them somehow. What I'm trying to say is everyone is on their own journey and fighting their own battles. You might be feeling overwhelmed, but the best thing you can do is to get up and keep going. Whatever battle you're fighting; be that feelings of inadequacy or more serious mental health issues which threaten to kick your arse every day. KEEP GOING.

When the world deals you a, quite frankly, shit hand and you wonder how much more you can get through. GET UP AND KEEP GOING. Truly it's the only way to get through it and to come out the other side. You maybe a bit battered and bruised, but you will definitely more connected to those you love (there's always a silver lining).

We worry that we have so much to do, that we never get to the end of our to do list and it makes us stressed. It starts to take over and threatens to take away our enjoyment for the thing we're mean't to love. When you feel like this remember you are blessed to have the choices that lead to your overwhelm, Re-frame it and you will see opportunity where you used to see overwhelm.

Those days when you think 'seriously this as well?', when you wonder if someone up there is having a laugh at your expense; don't be a victim. Think day by day if you have to, hell hour by hour if it helps. Hold your family close and go into battle against the things that threaten to take you down. You are stronger than you think, you are braver than you know and I know you can do this.
