Remove the Negative, Replace with the Positive

By Paula G

This past year has had setbacks. Setbacks distracted me and derailed me completely. So, I sit at the threshold of this new year having not achieved the goals I set out to achieve. Can you relate? However, this year, I have given myself some grace and changed my thoughts on the dilemma. Changed the conversation in between my ears. I’m no longer focused on the rear-view mirror. I see it now as an opportunity for a new beginning.

I have a saying that I hope will encourage you as it is encouraging me in this new season. As long as you wake up every day, as long as you are living and breathing, you have an opportunity to do something with that particular day. You have the opportunity to do something that puts you one step closer to your goals. Even if it is a small step. Even if you only spent 30 minutes that day doing something toward your goal, THAT is a victory for that day. Celebrate it! If you have some paralyzing events that occur in this season. I offer a few suggestions to help you navigate through.

  • Stop! Now everyone may not agree with this one but sometimes when events occur in our lives, we need to stop and allow ourselves to process the feelings and emotions that accompany that circumstance.

 

  • Allow yourself the opportunity to seek professional help. Yes, again, some may feel some kind of way about this one as well, but mental healing is a necessity.

 

  • Don’t’ suppress the emotions. Find a way to process the event. A way that will bring peace and closure or at least the beginning of closure.

 

  • Think of something that was near and dear to that person and honor them by implementing an aspect of it into your goals. For example, a dear friend used to say that all life events prepare you for the next season. I have taken the lessons learned from each season and applied them to my continued journey.

Life happens. You are not alone. Remove the negative, replace with the positive. Navigate through the seasons and embrace the journey ahead.
