Sometimes it takes a conscious decision made throughout each day to move ahead, to choose joy and get up again and again after being beaten up emotionally.
Moving on is knowing in your heart that there’s a bright future ahead.
- Accept the truth and be thankful.
To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and helped you learn and grow. It’s the acceptance of everything you have, everything you once had, and the possibilities that lie ahead. It’s all about finding the strength to embrace life’s changes, to trust your intuition, to learn as you go, to realize that every experience has value, and to continue taking positive steps forward.
- Distance yourself for a while.
Sometimes you need to take several steps back in order to gain clarity on a situation. The best way to do this is to simply take a break and explore something else for a while. Why? So you can return to where you started and see things with a new set of eyes. And the people there may see you differently too. Returning where you started is entirely different than never leaving.
- Focus only on what can be changed.
Realize that not everything in life is meant to be modified or perfectly understood. Live, let go, learn what you can and don’t waste energy worrying about the things you can’t change. Focus exclusively on what you can change, and if you can’t change something you don’t like, change the way you think about it. Review your options and then re-frame what you don’t like into a starting point for achieving something better.
- Take a chance.
When life sets you up with a challenge, there’s a reason for it; it’s meant to test your courage and willingness to make a change and take a chance on something new. There’s no point in denying that things are different now, or being fearful of the next step. The challenge will not wait even if you hesitate. Life only moves in one direction – forward. This challenge is your chance to let go of the old and make way for the new. Your destiny awaits your decision.
"Reframing is a way to turn any difficult situation into new opportunities. With reframing, you take power back from others and make something positive out of your not-so-positive situation. Instead of remaining stuck in the strong emotion that you feel, you use your strong emotion to make positive changes in your life both internally and externally."
Mindfulness and meditation help me with reframing my experiences and emotions.
Learning ways to fully relax has helped greatly with enjoying this day, this breath, this moment.
Stress in small doses, in safe spaces, can be looked at as a challenge:
"Frame stress as a challenge rather than a threat. When you do this, you become alive to opportunities,."
