Life comes with many things…
One of the most challenging parts of life can be emotions.
Feeling an overwhelming amount of grief, a longing for what could have been…
A desire to be somewhere else, or with a certain person, or whatever it may be…
In the moment, emotions can feel like gigantic waves, that are trying take you under.
A dangerous riptide in the currents of life…
How do you go on?
When will the suffering end?
Never stop feeling…
Allow each emotion to run its course.
Feel it, deeply, and understand it’s purpose is to move you.
It is guiding you on your journey.
It is even here to help you heal, to grow and to help you flourish.
We experience difficulties in order to help us with wherever we may be stuck in life.
Sometimes these experiences, as painful as they may be, happen to show us what could be… if we push ourselves out of our comfort zones and do things to help us move forward towards our goals.
They also occur in order to show us how strong we are, and how much we believe in our abilities to grow and change.
Sometimes we need these hard times to help us remember to focus inwards and to have self-control, as we are amidst a big life shift.
We cannot pretend to be robots, though the drug and alcohol industry want to help us numb away all the feelers, when nature has created us to be fully aware of ourselves and every feeling we have to feel.
Feel the feelings.
Feel the anger, the sadness, the sorrow.
Feel the pain, feel the loss, feel the loneliness and everything you feel scared to feel.
It will help you heal.
It will help you grow.
Numbing is like ignoring the sunlight that is here to feed your soul.
There is beauty in suffering, though, it isn’t always easy to see when you are in it.
Go through it then look back and see how strong and capable you are.
Through suffering, through pain, we grow.
There is peace on the other side.
There is healing, and there is beauty.
You will be okay.
Be present with your emotions and allow them to flow through you.
