You are holding the remote control, no one else.
Life has an unfortunate tendency to deliver challenges in clusters. When it rains, it pours, as the proverb states. When setback after setback comes your way, it can be quite simple to feel like you lack control in your life, and trust me, that’s not an enjoyable sensation. When experiencing these emotions, it’s important to remind yourself that it’s your life, your decision. You are the main character of your narrative. Enhance your self-assurance so that when adversity knocks, you are prepared and eager to face it head-on.
Establish a Routine
The most effective method to empower yourself is by maintaining a schedule. It doesn’t need to be overly strict and rigid. Just remember that certain activities take place on specific days. It could be anything from daily chores to enjoying a new episode of your favorite series. As long as you are the creator of your routine, you can adjust it as needed. Keep your life organized, but not overly restrictive.
Observe the Environment
When I mention “observe the world,” it goes beyond just taking a stroll in nature or traveling. While those are beneficial activities, there’s more to it. After spending too much time in a negative cycle, the world may seem smaller and more suffocating. However, the world is vast, and you can remind yourself of that even by glancing out the window. Witness the day unfolding; plants growing, animals playing. You are one element of an extraordinary system.
Practice Meditation
Occasionally, you need a break from reality. Meditation isn’t solely about sitting quietly; it’s about clearing your mind and fully experiencing the present moment. Allow worldly concerns to take a temporary backseat and bask in tranquility. You are well and alive, which is something to cherish.
Embrace Self-Love
All these principles revolve around a single concept: self-love. It’s not about being self-centered, but about affirming to yourself, “I’m grateful to be here, I’m content with who I am, I’m thankful for my existence.” When was the last time you audibly expressed, “I’m content with being me?” Probably never, right? Give it a try, because it feels incredibly liberating.
