“Why should I expect something good to happen, when nothing ever does?”
Ummm we may have thought it, we may have felt it inside.But with what expectation is it said?
Agreement? Sympathy? Compassion? relatability? Counsel?
Feeling a bit discouraged
This statement may have never crossed one’s lips. But can be evident in one’s outlook on life.
āNo oneās going to help me, so Iāll do it myself,ā mentality hit me like a storm the other day. It can feel like the ultimate solution when it seems like no help at hand. However, the self-sufficient mentality can only carry us so far.
We may run out of energy; we surpass our resources. One of our greatest resources is time, but secondly to that precious gift is wholesome people to help us keep perspective and keep us on travel.
Friends can sometimes feel distance, family may not always seem to comprehend what youāre going through. Thereās a chance that you may feel disconnected in this season like I did several weeks before.
Priorities arise, life changes for us and so do we. When you feel deflated and even hopeless. We can take steps to get us back on track.
What can we do?
Acknowledge your mindset. This may be how I feel now. I picked up a helpful tip called (the worry tree) on Every Mind Matters. This helped me to comprehend what I was thinking and how to find solutions.
Reach out: share your burden with someone who can hold it sacred. Even when we think or believe someone cannot bear the weight of our troubles they might be that person to give you that push to be free.
No one really knows me?
Loneliness can surface even amid the busyness of life. Especially around specific periods in the year like Christmas or birthdays. Sometimes when we speak internally, and consulate ourselves for long periods of time. It can blur our perception of reality.
Possible next steps:
Consult a friend occasionally, and family member weekly. Does your reasoning sound rational or factual?
Realise Progression is normal
Your character, personality is progress. What you are at 20 may not be so at 30, or further along the line. It could be why some many couples have confessed, āsheās changedā or āheās not the same.ā No, we are not.
Life experiences unfold, employment might change, relationships may change or be made. Your principles can stay the same. But preferences, tastes, ideologies can change and even habits. Make way for the new you!
You are making a difference
Overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, loneliness and shame can and may arise whether living solo or with family. But you can influence your own atmosphere you can carry your presence. A mindset that came to me the other day was, Iām not making a difference. It was an aftermath or struggle, and in the progression of change. I was making a difference but couldnāt see it. Someone had to reaffirm me, so I could understand things have changed.
One thing connects us, the hope and expectation of another day. If you hope for nothing at all, hope to live another day. If your heart as given way, hope for healing and change.
