From Pity to Praise

With all of the chaos in the world right now, feelings of overwhelm are at an all-time high.

When Life Feels Overwhelming

Self control is Strength, Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don’t allow others to control the direction of your life. Don’t allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

Steps to overcome laziness.

1- Make your goals manageable. Setting unrealistic goals and taking on too much can lead to feeling bummed out.

2- Don’t expect yourself to be perfect. 3- Use positive instead of negative self talk. 4- Create a plan of action. 5- Use your strengths. 6- Recognize your accomplishments along the way. 7- Ask for help, Big one if you get frustrated or stuck it’s okay to ask for help. 8- Avoid distraction. 9- Make tedious tasks fun, listen to music, or a podcast, I enjoy listening to Steve Harvey. 10- Reward yourself when you’ve finished the day, in a healthy way. Taking a long bubble bath, watch a show you’ve been wanting to see.

For the one doing wrong will be repaid for what they are doing wrong. Some call it Karma. I call it The Law of the Universe. What you do, how to act or treat other will come back to you. Good and bad.

Tough times are inevitable. And it’s during those tough times your mental strength will be tested. Staying tough through life’s toughest challenges. Accept reality acceptance doesn’t mean agreement. Behave productivity. Control your upsetting thoughts. Build mental strength before strong is the only choice you have. Staying Strong in the midst of hardship requires you to manage your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Paying attention to all three areas will help you emerge from your struggles even stronger than before.

Gratitude and attitude are not challenges. They are choices. Picture a mountain. Each time it rains, the water finds crevices to flow down. When it rains again, it’s much easier for the rain to pool in those crevices and take the same path. This is how your brain works. When you receive a stimulus (the rain) your mind reacts in the most efficient way as possible, which is usually how you’ve acted before. Your thoughts take the same path, over and over again.

Here’s the problem. All of us have default patterns we received from our upbringing and our environment. One of the most widespread human reactions to any stimulus is negativity. Negativity is easy. And negatively is very very dangerous. Being constistenty negative can have a (surprise) negative effect on your health, sociability, problem solving capability and relations. Let start carving a new path of positivty each time it rains.

If you are struggling to know this too shall pass. Your suffering or feeling dis-connection or did-ease is meant to teach you.

To awaken you. To help you. To evolve you. To show you how strong you are. To show you what you are capable of. To show you miracles do exist. To show that you are more than your thoughts. To show you how powerful you are. To show you that you are not in control of the unfolding but how you respond to it.

Look for the signs, for they are all around, nudging you to listen to your gut, to listen to your heart, to do what may be irrational. To do what is needed, To be you. To take care of you.

If you are feeling alone. Know that it is just not true. You are guided. You are Loved. You are Protected. You are cared for beyond your wildest imagination.

More people than you could ever imagine feel the same way you do. If you could open up and share what is going on, you would be amazed at how many people you care about share the same feeling.

If you are lost, stop. Stop searching and seriously, just be. Surrender it all. Give it all up to whatever higher power you believe in. Stop pushing, striving, proving, doing. Let it go. Let it be.

I promise you will be okay. Because you are okay. And there is nothing more important than being you. Becoming you. Speaking you. Feeling you. Choosing you. You are more than okay. You are what your searching for.

Whether this is your first time hearing this story, it serves as an important reminder of the power we have over our experiences and emotions. It’s easy to feel like a victim in challenging situations and circumstances in our life. We want to understand our negative thoughts, feelings and experiences, so we place blame on other people, objects, or events.

We look outward to try to make sense of what’s going on inside of us. We do this all the time. Why? It’s our way of coping, and feeling more in control of uncontrollable situations. The problem with this approach. However, is it takes away our personal responsibility and freedom of choice. In our attempt to feel more in control (by faulting others for our experience) we actually strip ourselves of our own power.

That power is lost the moment we become dependent on other people or things to make us feel a certain way. Whether that feeling is positive or negative.
