Your life changing and challenging experiences make you extraordinary. It shows strength of character and resilience to go through something and to overcome extraordinary life events. All your past hurts, pain and heartbreak make you, rather than break you. Without having gone through any challenging experiences, you would not have discovered what you were made of.
When you are stuck in life challenging situations you may experience varying types of emotions such as fear, unease, anxiety, overwhelm, isolation and as though your civil and personal liberties are being taken away or restricted. For instance, with the current pandemic you may feel as though your choice and freedoms in life are being taken away and as though you have no will power to overcome the extraordinary events.
All these emotions are normal and natural feelings to experience. It would be inhumane to not be affected or feel something as a result of going through challenging life situations.
What is most essential is about the process of awareness and acceptance of what is happening and has happened. What you choose to do going forward as result. Also the importance of realizing that most events are seasonal and not meant to remain as it forever. Within awareness, there is the freedom and choice to take on the full responsibility in how you will redefine or shape your life going forward.
Each life challenging and changing circumstance is a passing moment. It is a season that will soon pass. If it does not pass, it will eventually be alleviated or you may learn how to start living with your circumstance.
Lessons Learnt:
1. Living and experiencing Mental Health related conditions in the past enabled me to realize that I still had the willpower and choice to persevere through moments of crisis. I had the freedom to choose to adapt to a new way of living and to reach a point of acceptance. My awareness of the freedom and choice helped me redefine who I could become rather than to yearn for who I used to be.
2. With the current pandemic it may appear as though, everything is being taken away from that you were used to. You may feel as though you are limited and restricted in what you can be able to do, which can then lead you to feeling for instance frustrated, isolated and overwhelmed.
You also have the option to choose how you experience the current pandemic, despite its challenges. Another way to look at it is, what are you being gifted with?
- What do you have more time to do now, that you have always wanted to do?
- What sort of creative ideas did you have, but never invested time in before due to being too busy or overwhelmed by your work life.
- Could now be the opportunity to discover what you truly want to do in life? To discover what your intended purpose is and how to maximize on your given gifts?
