5 Reasons You Will Be Okay!
I want to write this article for everyone who’s struggling with life, a breakup, losing someone, getting fired and everything else in the universe that could possibly go wrong. You will move on from this, you will get stronger from this time in your life. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, you’re severely ill, or with any sadness, you will overcome this time in your life.
1. Tomorrow is another day for improvement!
Keeping a positive outlook on things can help your mind and nerves at its worst moments. Mind over matter!
2. Surrounding yourself with positivity
Regardless of what you’re dealing with, there’s nothing more toxic than surrounding yourself with negative people in a time you need positivity. Cut them out of your life, forever or for the time being, you need to heal. Put you as a priority for once.
3. Life will always throw things at you
Life itself will be harsh. It’ll knock you down when you feel you’ve hit rock bottom. It will tell you that you can’t do anything right when you fail. But you have to tell yourself you can conquer anything you put your mind to.
4. If you’ve lost a person, job, or yourself…
I’ve been here multiple times. I’ve lost jobs, people (physically and emotionally), and I’ve lost myself a lot throughout the years. Quite often, people blame their situations. I lost my job because I was going through a breakup. I lost my significant other because I was too focused on working. I wasted so much time working or with my significant other, I didn’t spend any time with my loved ones when they were alive. All of these have each other in common. We, as a human race, waste so much time with insignificant tasks that we let life pass us by. Then we blame those insignificant tasks when the significant things aren’t around in our lives.
Take time for the significant, important and amazing things in your life. So, when they’re not around anymore, you can at least feel as though you made an impact on it.
5. Making time for yourself is CRUCIAL
I completely understand what it’s like for a job or being a parent to take over your personal life. That’s still not an excuse though.
Once you have a 24/7 job, like being a parent or working a certain job, your second job is to make sure you set aside other times for yourself and your loved ones. It could be a day, a week, a few hours or just a few minutes. It is beyond crucial that you make you a priority first, then making sure you keep your inner circle close. Ways to make time for yourself are easy, get your nails done (guys and girls), get your hair done, buy a face mask (can also do it with your significant other), binge-watch a show you’ve meant to watch, go to the gym, light some candles and take a hot bath while reading a book/listening to a book on Audible, even just taking a nap could feel refreshing! All of these ideas can be done tomorrow, if you just put yourself first. If you don’t, you end up impatient, grumpy, and even resentful of people who are happy.
You will be okay, regardless of what you’re going through. Take time for yourself, whether it’s grieving, crying, yelling into a pillow, sitting in the dark alone, do it (for a few days only). We are human, we can’t be emotionless all the time. Sometimes you just need a good cry or scream to feel better. Tomorrow is a new day, start it off on a good note, and I promise it’ll be better!
Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. -Lyndon B. Johnson
