Your mental health is too important to let those in denial ignore your suffering and invalidate your experience. The solution to someone’s ignorance could be to put the harsh truth in their face.
Or it could be to just accept that some people will always be blissfully unaware or in full denial. Acceptance that you can’t get through to everyone might be the one reality you can rely on.
Sometimes you have to let things go and take a new road in order to find a sense of peace and comfort inside yourself. The new road may come with a high price that has an even higher reward.
Are you going to pay the high price for the reward, or take a longer path that involves a bit more mental labor? They are both challenging but they both lead to an outcome that is worth the journey.
It’s important to bounce back from the setbacks and always move forward so that you aren’t drowning in the anger, sadness, or upset from the past.
Sometimes even present circumstances can be enough to stall your forward momentum. This is why it’s vital to make sure you recharge your personal power so that you are no longer a victim to the world and can start taking charge of your life.
Can you get back up after a big fall? If you’re struggling to do so, your foundation may not be as stable as you’d hoped.
The components that make up your life: Your job, your family, your home, the city you live in, your car, etc, all have some sort of meaning or value to you. When you start to let go that which no longer serves you, you start to free yourself from the toxic components.
What do you value and what gives you heartburn every time you think about it? Sometimes removing one small thing from your life can make a big change.
