When we are faced with a lot of negative energies, our minds shut down, and we are cornered with something we don’t know how to deal with. In times like these, we are often asking ourselves, “What can I do?” And sometimes the answer doesn’t come easy and it takes days to manifest something your heart and mind will accept. Even then, we are still uncertain we are truly happy about the results. These situations happen often because we are humans and we are dealing with so many different things happening in our lives. We must learn how to balance them equally and give them enough time but not overtime to where it burns us out.
Sometimes taking a break to clear your mind will help you to discover the answer. You know those moments where you work so hard and your mind just doesn’t respond anymore? And no matter what you do, you find you are distracted? This is a sign to shut down what is going on and change the atmosphere around you. Take a weekend trip to the beach, feel the sand between your toes, and listen to the wave. It is there, in complete relaxation, that you will find your answer.
Don’t beat your mind to a bloody pulp by overthinking it. It will only drive you further away from an answer. Instead, choose to give yourself a sacred space to clear the things around you and let the answer come to you gently. If you force it, you won’t like the reply as good as you think and the results will relapse faster. Ask for patience, for guidance, for support, and change the things around you to help you find a way out.
We are too hard on ourselves when we are left to be cornered. We believe that we should always have an answer that is ready and waiting to be handed out. Most often times, we won’t, and we will find that it is what beats us down the most. We can’t provide one so we end up stressing about it because we believe we should always have an answer. Sometimes the answer is, “I don’t know.” And you have to be ok with it and know that you cannot let it guilt you into not providing a better one.
When the world around you is agonizing, take a step back, and change the atmosphere around you to where you feel a better energy. There, you will discover a truth to you about who you are and what the answer you are seeking is. Be kind and be gentle to your heart. You only have one.
