Turning The Page[After The Dust Settles]

 

Sometimes life is all smooth sailing and other times, it can feel like we're navigating through thick mud.  During difficult times we might wonder, HOW DID WE END UP HERE?  WHY DOES IT ALL FEEL SO HARD?  WILL I EVER GET THAT BREAK?  Oh Oh, WHEN we end up in stuck places, it is indeed that challenging to know HOW to get back to calm waters.  It's hard to see HOW we will regain our sense that all is well📘📙📗

Indeed, our life's challenges feel hard and draining enough and in the end, we can feel stuck especially with no end in sight at all.  Getting to that other side in our personal life, professional life OR our overall sense of joy in life can somehow feel out of reach.  YES YES yow, I do get it, I've been there more than once in my life.  Catching that 'lucky break' can feel like a roller coaster of a waiting game.  Sort of waiting for something external to shift before we experience relief, and that only amplifies WHEN we're feeling stuck and worse, somewhat disempowered💥💥💥

Over time, after so many times of turbulence up and out there, I've learned if I still feel stuck in the mud after putting in my best [ever] efforts, it's a sign to turn the page and start fresh.  TURNING THE PAGE can be helpful with big obstacles in life and it can also bring relief to the small day to day jams we get caught up in.  Simply put, TURNING THE PAGE is surrendering to WHAT is hard.  Kind of saying "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS STORM I'M IN, SO I'M GOING TO TURN THE PAGE AND START FRESH✅✅✅

WHEN we have stayed and struggled in those agonies long enough, it is about saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.  THAT 'I can't change WHAT IS but I can see life before me with that new perspective.  THAT I can bring a new chapter, one that ISN'T bogged down by my current frame of reality.  SO HOW???

• START WITH WHERE YOU ARE - WHEN we feel stuck, starting with WHERE we are might seem like a lost cause because after all, we're stuck!  BUT starting with WHERE we are is really about presence and gratitude.  We can shelf the story about our current circumstances and instead bring to mind all the things we are grateful for.  TURNING THE PAGE ISN'T about ignoring OR denying truths BUT it's about choosing to NOT become swallowed by them❌❌❌
  

• SELF-REFLECTION - Our perception of our 'outer world' is a reflection of our inner world.  And WHEN we make a habit of checking in with ourselves on a daily basis, we can become familiar with that tapestry of our inner world.  Then, WHEN we feel like we are being swallowed by challenges in our external world, we can venture inward and see WHAT we might need shifting.  Our takeaway:  Our perspective creates our experience in life and our choice to adjust our perspective is our source of power.  And WHEN we witness our ability to shift perspective and TURN THE PAGE, we can build more faith in ourself.  TURNING THE PAGE should NOT be a tough call to make, dude😊😊😊
