Things Can Get Even Worse

There are lots of problems that make life seem like it has come to a halt and there likely will be more problems in the future. Some will seem new and some similar to the past encounters. During hardships, we wonder if things will ever be right again. Some challenges seem so destructive that they make life seem turned upside down. So much so that thinking straight and looking right doesn't seem doable anymore. Enormous pain engulfs life affecting either health, wealth, loved ones, work, studies or most of them. 

There is a way to make the effects of hardships caused to you feel less damaging, emotionally and on your sense of well-being. This will take time, however it is essential to keep going to feel happy and grateful in life. Trauma and sufferings are evident. Not just in a particular phase, but in every phase and age. Since it is unavoidable, regardless of the resources you might have, it will be helpful to create defenses, so you can pass through the dark tunnels, recover and see the good that they have done to you and those around you. 

We are often negligent of many things. When life strikes back with a problem in that area, we take notice and feel patient enough to help solve the issue. It can be as simple as an itch that makes you scratch and draws your attention to your body that may be unclean because you either didn't bathe or bathed in a way that didn't clean you completely. Such is the way of nature to show that larger problems might await if you neglect what bothers you. 

Man always has some time to sit back and reason. Asking why something happened can either bring many realizations to mind at that very moment or later as days go by. It is important to feed your mind the food of hunger that seeks answers. Because these answers help to keep going in difficult times, no matter how hopeless the situation may be. Reasons to unfold situations, resolve to become stronger in the future, decisions to change what you believe you must, confessions to get things off your chest, realizations to not be in the dark or be lost, corrections to be a better person and such mental transitions are needed to evolve. Growing older does not mean you lose your wonder, however it means that you know you are a day more aware than yesterday because of your experiences. Now that you have seen it, you know you don't have to react in ways that didn't help. And you could try something else or seek help from sources that seem helpful. You can try and help yourself, every way that you can.

Such activities can bring us to a much-needed attitude shift, that can set us free from self-doubt, and a low sense of self. It can help you try new things and not feel let down because of experiences or failures. Believe that the worst could have been even worse. You avoided it with your strength. Perhaps your faith or will power was put to work without you realizing it. Man is strengthened by such sources of strength that bring reassurance. With reassurance and the belief that you can sail through daunting circumstances, you can see that you are over the past and it has come to an end. It makes one positive and brave. These two are needed for each one of us. It comes from within when someone says, “Be positive, be strong!” You need not feel positive and strong right after you are asked to.

It seems impossible to reassure yourself that things will be alright, at times. Situations get so out of your grasp that you likely give up. You see no sense in what is happening and feel scared. Bad circumstances shake us to our core in such a way that we resent, lose hope or feel helpless. We wonder, why me? Why not them! We might also seek for someone to suffer like us. It might give a certain kind of realization, seeing others in pain. Such is the trail of thoughts that man has when he is low. But you must make the most of the worst of times and have it pass while you keep your chin up. It is essential to keep your words positive and thoughts reduced as you sail in turbulent waters. With a positive attitude and enormous hope that this is not the end, you will see that it indeed wasn't the end and better things were in store for you. Just stop when such thoughts arise. It is human to have such thoughts come to mind. However, it is wise to let them go and not take them as your thoughts.
