Heyaaaaa You Hopeful People! 💗
I hope you all have been keeping well!
I am here to share some insights about courage, hope and healing when growth strikes us! This will be a long post! So, I would appreciate your resilience to read it till the end! 🤗
Growth comes at a cost! It brings a lot of discomfort. When I talk about Growth, I mean all problems that emerge as opportunities/challenges to learn from and implement them in our future set of actions.
Have you been in a situation when you felt that yeah, I faced this problem back then and now I am in the same discomfort probably with much more intensity again?
I am sure you might have! So, Lesson Number 1, Don't escape or defer problems when they come to you because if you don't deal with them now, you will have to deal with it with more difficulty in the future or probably, you might never get the chance to deal with it? What a blunder we would do right? Deliberately choosing to not unlock our hidden potential!
When Growth comes, discomfort comes and there are times our mental and emotional muscles struggle to manage that! It brings with it anxiety, overthinking, procrastination, escapism, unprocessed emotions etc. To know more about anxiety, you can refer @AshleyNFlewellenLPC post in the 7 cups online therapy forum land!
While all this happens, we fail to manage everything in life that we used to be doing. And a chain reaction of getting drowned into the dark starts!
But there's just one thing that keeps all of us alive during the most painful times we felt we could never have endured? That is Hope! So, Lesson Number 2, Sustain Hope!
Hope is an emotion that finds possibility and discards practicality!
Hope is an emotion that believes when it's unbelievable!
Hope is an emotion that says you, you can do this! I am powerful! See, I am still standing when everything feels shaken!
When we start altering our negativity bias by replacing it with hopeful positive thoughts, we create our own light amidst all darkness!
However, only Hope does not sustain and complete the growth process!
So, Lesson 3, Build Courage to develop Courage!
Courage is something that brings you to action!
That thrills you internally saying, "It's done now! Get over your low zone! And wake up! It's a new day! It's your life and if you don't start now, nobody will do it for you!" Remaining in that zone brings no good feelings but when you take action, nature starts to support you in the process!
Yes, Life is a Lesson! It brings us phases we think we can never endure but ultimately, the brave people go through it, face it boldly, don't run away from it but stay, hold and survive the pain! And believe me, the Universe comes to your rescue no matter however long this pain might feel, everything just comes down to good! And if it isn't it's not the end!
I have been through this phase recently! There were things which were not within my control that I started thinking on! Got into an overthinking trap, built fears over my faith, tragic reflections from the past occurred and when they were looking deep into my eyes, I couldn't at first! However, now I realize that yeah! I got over that!
I have hope and belief! But I get to build the courage to start again! There have been zero days in my life for some time now! But, if I can say myself that I can, I actually can!
You know why did I write this? Because I know we all struggle during these phases! But I will just remind you that,
"No matter how much ever pain you are in, how much ever bad and ugly life looks to you, remember, it's not the reality but just your current perception of the reality!"
We act based on what we know until we know more!
Listen to your heart's wisdom and discard your head's ego, fears and insecurities!
Your heart knows faith, but your head reminds you of your fears!
Your heart knows what is right, but your head directs you to take up the wrong!
Your heart is your real soul, and your head is created by the limiting beliefs of our external influences!
Your heart looks for possibility over your head that looks for practicality!
Trust your instincts over your intelligence! Trust your intuition over your reason!
Discovering all this is a process which takes time and so patience and embracing imperfections/uncertainty during this time is equally important! Here, Lesson Number 4!
So, my lovely hearts! 💘
Don't ever forget how powerful you are! And how much the Universe supports you when you are all alone but transforming into a bigger, giant and beautifully gorgeous version of you!
And you are unique so your journey will be!
I will soon share some insights on how we can practically navigate the growth process!
Regards,
Resilience💕
