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.

Rumination

I've found myself stuck in a loop lately. It's like my mind is on a hamster wheel, endlessly circling the same thoughts. I can't seem to shake them. It's exhausting. I've been there. That place where thoughts loop around and around, like a broken record stuck on the same groove. It's like my mind is a haunted house, and these persistent thoughts are the ghosts haunting me. I'll be thinking about something, maybe a conversation I had earlier in the day, and then suddenly, I'm spiraling. I'm replaying every word, every gesture, analyzing every detail. It's like a broken record, playing the same tune repeatedly. It's not just conversations, either. I can ruminate about my to-do list, my relationships, or even the weather. It's as if my brain is determined to find a problem, no matter how small. Rumination, as it's called, can be a real drain. It's like trying to go against the flow of a strong current. No matter how hard I ...

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...

Walk Tall

I recently listened to a song by one of my favorite artist’s name John Mellencamp . The song is called Walk Tall . As I listened to the lyrics, I could not help reflecting on the world around me. John states: The simple minded and the uninformed Can be easily led astray And those that cannot connect the dots Hey, look the other way People believe what they wanna believe When it makes no sense at all… This is a recurring sight for me, encountered daily on social media, in conversations, on the news, and most notably in politics. People readily accept Facebook, MSNBC, CNN, or even their neighbor’s post on any platform as the ultimate truth. Very few people bother to delve into the facts, and it’s even worse how furious they get when faced with differing opinions. A point proven recently with a post I saw on Facebook. Someone stated, “this proves people will argue about anything”. There was a picture of a plastic cup of water that was ¾ full. The caption below said a fu...
