"OUT OF THE DARKNESS" POST 33

Alot of us are overthinkers;  I know I am. Your anxiety will tell you the worst case scenario every time.  You are strong and can get through hard times one step at a time.  You have already survived things you thought you wouldn't survive.  It is okay to not be okay.  Let go of any negative emotions.  Your anxieties will lie to you; don't listen.  Keep yourself distracted from bad thoughts.  Keep your mind off of things that tear away your positivity.  God has a purpose for everything we experience whether it's making us wait, making us adapt to change, making us reflect or surrendering to Him.  When you get angry, try singing.  When you are burned out take a walk in nature. When you overthink start journalling; it definitely helps.  You could even write those thoughts down on a piece of paper and then burn it.  Burn it up and release it... 

When stressed, get moving; It works.

If you get sad, speak your gratitude out into the universe.

Something I use all the time to calm down are recordings of nature sounds.  I listen to rain, 

ocean sounds, a rippling creek, birds singing.  I listen to the rain to go to sleep alot of nights.

A light windchime is good.  Any forest sounds are very calming and will relax you. 

 God continues loving us whether we are experiencing a bad day or the best day ever.  His unconditional love keeps us wrapped in His arms.  By giving your troubles over to Him, you are choosing not to fear or worry any longer about a situation.  Ask Him to renew your mind, awaken your spirit and cleanse your broken heart.  Trust that He has a better plan because every single thing that happens in our lives has a reason and purpose.

Have a rich mindset. Live in the present moment, learn from your mistakes, do not complain, stop any bad habits you may have and take action.  Alot of us tend to get an idea about something, we think about it and then do nothing.  That's the typical, I can't do it attitude.

On the other hand, you can get that idea, think about it and take action immediately;  can't never could.  A poor mindset is afraid of investing and has a fear of change.  When you take action you bring about growth in your life.  What can you do to make a positive change in your life?  Are you getting in your own way,  blocking that positivity by not taking action about an idea;  shooting it down because of your fear?

Unless action is taken, nothing changes.  You will then remain stagnant and stay exactly where you are in life.  

Some real luxuries in life are a quiet mind, your health, rest without guilt, a good night's sleep, slow mornings, meaningful conversation, home cooked meals, people you love, people who love you back and time.

When the world feels heavy on your shoulders, continue to press on.  Be an example of courage and resilience.

I want to remind you of something.  Despite all the obstacles and hardships you have faced, you have endured so much; remember that.  It takes incredible strength to keep going when it would be much easier to quit.

Regret says there's an opportunity to change course.

Fear says you are being challenged to grow.

Sadness says pay attention to what is lacking in your life.

Jealousy says acknowlege your true desires.

Guilt says that you are not aligned with your true values.

Anger says look into what you are afraid to lose, and resentment is saying you need to work on your victim mentality.

If you don't know what road to take in life at this time,  go about becoming the healthiest, happiest, confident version of yourself.  Then the right path will reveal itself.
