Turn Your Wounds Into Strength
We have moments in our life that become overwhelming to the point you just want to break down and cry. Everyone tells you it’s going to be okay, take a vacation, or even try some meditation. There are times where that simply isn’t an option or it doesn’t work.
There are times where you just have to have some quiet time and figure some crap out. Release all the negative energy. Release what is weighing you down. Do not let them overtake you. Do not let them drown you.
There is no time line for overcoming whatever is weighing you down. It’s a slow process but a necessary process. Feel whatever is needed but release what doesn’t bring you light and joy.
Life is too short to live within in darkness of our subconscious.
We caught up in life that we’re just always on the go. Going to work, checking emails, responding to social media or making plans for the next two weeks. We forget that we don’t have to be busy. We don’t always have to check our email or rushing to the next destination. We have to come to terms within ourselves that it’s necessary to slow down life.
Take a break.
Take a breather.
Turn the TV off. Put your phone down. Detach from social media.
Enjoy loved ones around you. Watch the sunrise on a early summer morning. Go buy your favorite scented candle and read a new book.
You would be surprised that the simple or little things in life, really aren’t little at all.
Every person you have met in life and even those you have yet to encounter are fighting an inner battle no one knows about. Everyone is fighting an inner demon or an insecurity about themselves.
We all have a tendency to want what someone else has or even just feeling unsure about who we are as a person compared to another.
So this is my reminder to you.
You are beautifully made just the way you are. Just as beautiful as the brightest star in the sky. You are strong and unique in your own way. There is no one else like you in this world, how amazing is that! There may be things you don’t love about yourself but there are also so many amazing things about you too.
Remind yourself everyday of all the things you love about yourself until you simply don’t forget. It’s always a battle worth fighting. You are just as worthy of your own love that you give so freely to others.
Life has been difficult for everyone. So please don’t be hard on yourself, give yourself some grace. There will be times where you feel beside yourself because you haven’t accomplished what you wanted in the time frame you wanted. Sometimes what we want is not what we need.
Enjoy life and all of what is to come. The point of life is not to accomplish everything, have some fun! You will figure everything out in due time, be patient with life. Everything we go through will set us up for what we were born to accomplish. It will make sense one day. Take the losses, heartbreak, and joys with stride. Don’t be scared to make mistakes! That is what life is all about, trial and error.
Get lost in finding yourself. Get lost in the journey. Let it encompass all you do. Always always always believe in yourself. Forget what others may think of you, you are not here for their approval. Make yourself proud before anyone else in life. You are worth it all.
It seems that we have had our daily struggles with life. Covid has not made it easy on us in the past year and counting. When we think we’re high there seems to be a curveball right after. The feeling of just not being able to get ahead is like a rain cloud am I right?
One thing that I have tried to remember is that when we feel low, it isn’t a permanent position. We will all rise again. Things in your life will start to get easier, be patient. The lowest point of your life isn’t a resting place and it doesn’t define who you are as a person. Do not label yourself. Do not be your own worst enemy. The struggles we encounter will not last forever. I truly believe if God brought you to it, he will bring you through it. Keep your faith, let it strengthen in times where you feel weakness. If you need to pray, pray. If you need find a quiet place, find your peace. If you need to kneel, kneel and pray.
The light will shine right through the storm and dark clouds and how beautiful that will be.
We go through sometimes feeling defeated or too tired to go on. We forget in the strength we carry within ourselves. We forget the strength we have in our spirit, what we carry in our soul. Always remember you carry the strength of the tallest mountain. You were NOT made without the strength of the universe inside you. Your spirit that you hold within yourself is your superpower.
So rise up. It’s Time.
You have the power and strength to be who you want to be in this life. We all come from different backgrounds. We have gone through our own trauma. We have been road blocked or met a dead end. No matter what you have been through or going through now. Fight. Stand up and fight. You have the universe at your fingertips. You have the strength of a warrior. No matter how small or how big you are. Never let anyone tell you different. Look at what you have accomplished so far in your life. Give yourself some credit and sense of accomplishment. Start believing in yourself. Start believing in your strength. Feel it in your soul like a torch in the night. Let your spirit guide you.
Your destiny is calling.
Light your way through the darkness. Let the world see your strength little warrior.
