Struggling is a Part of Life

Everyone struggles in life. It’s a fact of life. But how we deal with those struggles can make all the difference.

Some people choose to give up when they struggle. They feel like it’s too hard and they’ll never be able to overcome it. But others choose to keep fighting. They know that struggling is a part of life, but they also know that they can overcome anything they set their minds to.

If you’re struggling right now, don’t give up. Keep fighting. Remember that you are not alone. Everyone struggles in life. But the ones who keep fighting are the ones who eventually succeed.

Here are some tips for dealing with struggles:

Talk to someone you trust. Talking to someone about your struggles can help you feel better and get some perspective.
Take care of yourself. Make sure you’re eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. These things will help you feel better physically and emotionally.
Set realistic goals. Don’t try to do too much too soon. Set small, achievable goals and gradually work your way up to bigger ones.
Be patient with yourself. It takes time to overcome struggles. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results right away. Just keep working hard and eventually you will reach your goals.

Remember, you are not alone. Everyone struggles in life. But the ones who keep fighting are the ones who eventually succeed.

Mentor

When my photography journey rekindled back in 2015 with a trip to Maine, I never knew how far I would come and how important pushing a button on a camera would be. I have come a long way, but still have so much more to learn. A mentor is described as an experienced and trusted adviser (noun) . Also, as someone who will advise or train (someone, especially a younger colleague ) (verb). Wikipedia also states mentorship is the patronage, influence, guidance, or direction given by a mentor. A mentor is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person. Since I have gotten more serious about my photography, I have been looking for a mentor that fits these categories listed above. Seeking guidance, I reached out to a handful of “professional” photographers to inquire about mentorship. I received no response from one person, another person casually mentioned that they rarely mentor, and a third person kindly explained that they ...

Nobody's Listening

I recently had conversations with two people I know that had experienced a sudden rash of acute anxiety. One was medication related, the other was situational. Both stated that they now had a better understanding of what I have been dealing with. With the recent changes to my medication, Although I still feel anxiety, it no longer takes control of my emotions like it did in the past. However, I know acutely that it still lurks on the fringes, patiently awaiting its chance to pounce on me. During my recent visit to Dr. Erin, she assigned me an exercise where I had to jot down three things each day that I felt I excelled at. This is proving to be difficult for me. The parameters are straightforward and easy to understand. “Anything I do well that day,” she said. As I continued with this exercise, I began thinking of a song by Linkin Par called Nobody’s Listening. I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress Handful of anger held in my chest And everything left’s a wast...

Tested

Life is a series of tests, pushing us to our limits and forcing us to grow. All blessings originate from a God, yet they manifest through different circumstances, encounters, and individuals. Throughout the past six weeks, I have encountered a myriad of these tests. This is part of the reason I have not written in a while - the constant distractions that have consumed my time and focus. Balancing my mental state and warding off anxiety has consumed my attention, leaving no room to articulate my thoughts through writing. My journey began recently when, with the advice of a medical professional, I began taking Trintellix at its lowest dose of 5mg per day. Gradually I increased to 10mg a day and now am at 20mg a day. During this time, my anxiety has lessened quite a bit, but recent events have put this medication to the test. Our initial challenge was to carefully research vans, searching for ones that would be ideal for safely transporting our furry companions. The cramped spac...
