![]() I’ve been through challenging, dark, and unimaginably painful things. I know life won’t be void of hardship moving forward but I affirm to myself that everything will only get better especially because I’ve been through what I deem the worst of it I find I can easily get caught up in thoughts that are a result of the trauma, fears, loss, hardship, and other dark demons that I never even expected to face when I did…many of which took me by surprise and flipped my world upside down. When I feel pain or doubt or worry I often remember all that I’ve been through and know that nothing I’m worried about or stressing over or experiencing could be or is worse than that. Plus, I know if I can get through what I’ve been through, I’m pretty damn resilient. It’s not to say those feelings I have or experiences are not valid or worthy of being felt and processed. But, I know the value in identifying and using my strengths to support me through the challenges I face day to day now. It is not to minimize the weight of the experiences but rather to support my perspective taking on it. Whatever hardship you’re in, feel it, honor it, embrace what it is and get acquainted with that feeling…because as hard as it is to do, this will support you in healing and preparing to face future difficulties. I am certainly not perfect and can struggle to “therapize” myself. I have an amazing support system and have created a life that is fulfilling and keeps me going with purpose and drive and alignment to my values. It’s certainly not always easy or as easy as an Instagram caption can make it seem. But I hope the vulnerability and empathy is felt in this message, you are strong and you can choose to see and believe the best in yourself and about your life even if you’ve been through hell. If you can recognize where there is darkness, this represents there is knowledge of the existence of light too💛🖤💛 #BUILDMORETHANJUSTABODY
