Think of those hard and difficult moments of your life as moments when you workout the hardest. There is beautiful gain from pain, don’t give up. Just like when you work out, those extra last reps are the hardest but those will give you the best results. 🙏
When all you want to do is fall asleep, yet you can’t because your heart is racing with panic and every heart beat feels like a loud drum beat in your head.
When your body is exhausted and torn from all the anxiety, yet you can’t fall asleep because your soul is restless and in desperate need of comforting.
Just breathe and know that your body, mind and soul will get the rest that is needed even if you stay awake the entire night. Just breathe and relax. It will get easier with time.
At home I feel totally safe, warm and secure. I feel like I can breathe easily and relax. This is where I find my strength and build my inner peace. I wish I could stay at home forever, that I could pause my life so that I can rest and recharge until I feel stronger again. 🙏 One breath at a time. ❤️
What if the very thing that shattered you into a million pieces and left you broken and lost – could also be the very thing you use as your inspiration to grow and blossom into everything you desire to be?
Let your pain be your solid foundation on which you rebuild your inner strength. All the fear you felt can inspire you to trust life more. All those painful actions he put you through can inspire you to forgive others unconditionally. All the powerlessness you felt and all the tears you have cried can inspire you to fill your heart with kindness and love.
It may be quite hard to see your unwanted experiences as something that can be of value to you, when you are still hurting from it. But give yourself time. A lot of time. Yes, it was awful. Yes, it was painful. Yes, you felt powerless and completely ripped of all your security. Nothing can change what he did to you and nothing can change the pain you felt. But, he is not hurting you NOW, he is not doing it to you NOW – so why would you continue to torment yourself, when you can choose to change your perspective of what happened and actually find strength in it?
Give yourself time. 🙏🌹 ❤️
Let his hurtful actions make you more forgiving and let your pain inspire you to be even kinder. 🙏
You cannot make hatred go away with more hatred, someone has to break the negative cycle, and it might as well be you.
It doesn’t matter if he isn’t sorry. It doesn’t matter if he wants to hurt you again – you can choose to forgive him anyway because if you forgive him, you set yourself free. Keep yourself as safe and protected as you can while you choose to let kindness and love fill your heart.
It feels so good to come home on a Friday afternoon and know that we can stay at home – where it is safe, warm and comfortable – the entire weekend if we feel like it. Best, most reliefgiving feeling ever. 🙏 🌹 ❤️
They say that what doesn’t kill you, can make you stronger. I think that is bullshit, unless, you choose to work on your perspective of what happened, and of yourself. Then it can make you stronger. But it doesn’t happen automatically, you have to do the work.
So yes, it can make you stronger but you have to do the work. Not everyone has an optimistic view of life or of themselves before they go through a trauma, then it can be extra hard to feel better after a trauma. Even if you are a very optimistic person before the trauma occurred, it can still be extremely difficult to feel better again afterwards. Difficult, but possible. 100% possible. If you change your perspective. No matter how badly he hurt you, no matter how fearful the situation and no matter how powerless you felt – you can feel better again.
Every nightmare has a purpose, it is a reminder for you to be kinder to yourself – no matter what is going on in your life.
If you feel like you have lost yourself, that you have lost your happiness, lost your zest for life and even lost faith in humanity – please don’t give up, just keep breathing.
I know it is breathtakingly hard at times. I know you just want to break down and cry. But keep breathing, especially when it feels tough. It is in these weak moments that you rebuild your inner strength most powerfully. Yes, it hurts. Yes, you are angry. Yes, you are tired. That is exactly how it is supposed to be, you are right on track. Keep breathing, get back up and don’t give up.
Always find comfort in knowing that this too shall pass. Never give up, just keep breathing. 🙏
