OFTEN TIMES… THE BIGGEST WARS ARE HAPPENING ON THE INSIDE.
2 months ago, I got hit with my internal war. Came out of the blue and ever since I’ve given myself the grace to work through it. Been down this road before like many, but it didn’t make it any less terrifying.
I rested on my experience, my support circle, my tools I’ve learned on how to manage and oddly on time. Having had anxiety and OCD most of my life, I’m not stranger to dark times. So I have lots of experience, and mental exercises to slowly and effectively come to the light. Knowing what I can take on, what I can put aside, and knowing what I cannot makes life easier. So coming up with what I can and cannot do while I work through this season made this time speedier. Know doubt, having a strong support group obviously is a strong advantage. Could be parents, family, friends, therapist or someone you can talk to and trust. So much power in this. I’m blessed for mine. But there’s always someone you can talk to, just have to think about it a little. Then my tools , that’s stuff like mindfulness, podcasts for more knowledge of mental health, hobbies that distract me, and all the stuff I do that build my day and a routine that is intended to build me back to health.
It’s not an easy road, but it’s well worth the challenge.
