Life happens, and we are affected by daily challenges. I lost a very close aunt this month who had a profound effect in my life, and tears surrounded my heart.
As I experienced the sadness, loneliness, and the question of how do I move forward, I realized the cracks around my spirit needed replacing one by one:
- I removed the tear of disbelief.
- The tear of fear.
- the tear of pain, grief, and anger.
Even though I will always miss her, and I know it will take time, I needed to shift my mood and state of mine. I did what works for me and went for a jog. After the run, the pain was still there, but I felt stronger, and my mind became clearer. We all have something that could alter the mindset.
We have control over our minds and thoughts we focus on. We could silently review the sadness and the pain, or we could make small temporary changes that will ultimately build a stronger mindset.
The next time you are disappointed, sad, angry, envious:
- Become aware of the mindset and ways of changing your perception.
- Know the sun does not shine every day, and when it does, it is bright. There is brightness in your life.
- What are the happy moments? What are your dreams?
- Move, jump, sing, give, help, watch comedians, and now there is a shift in your mood, and your spirit is temporary changed.
We are strong together. How will you continue to rise? I am here, and I am listening!
Great thoughts! Love your blog.
Thank you Mirjana and I hope the blogs are helpful on enhancing
well-being on dealing with life issues.
You can deal with grief once you understand that everything is in divine order and God’s grace is sufficient in all situations. When you loose people it’s never the same but through praying and trusting God it’s a help withe the grievance period. There is no time period when you loose a loved one but you have to find the bright side of it and press on.
Shelly, thank you! Because the reality is there is no time period, and I hope your comment help others to continue to move forward remembering all the good the person shared and realize they too could help someone else.
