Look how far you've come

Just for a moment, think about, how much you’ve been through, how tired and worn out you’ve been, how hurt and depleted you’ve felt and how much you’ve endured and still kept going.

Think about how much you’ve learnt through all the situations you’ve experienced although it was challenging at the time. Emotionally, mentally and physically straining and draining, but you still made it through!

Look at how you’ve managed to transform these experiences into learning and growth. Look at all the skills you’ve developed and can now utilise whenever you need. Remind yourself how capable and resilient you are.

You hung in there and stayed true to yourself, your beliefs and values, maybe even strengthened them. Did you find your voice? Did you discover just how amazing you can be and are? Did you find a ladder to climb out of the depths of despair, then dusted yourself off and started again? Have you recognised and acknowledged how that took strength and courage?

Look at how far you’ve come! How amazing you are. I hope you’re proud of yourself and can pat yourself on the back. Walk tall and feel good about yourself because you are doing a great job at this journey called life.

Even if you made mistakes and in hindsight thought you could’ve done things better, you did what you could at the time with the knowledge you had and now you know more, that was the purpose of the challenge you faced, to learn.

And now that you’ve learnt from it, you won’t have to experience it again, so leave it in the past and keep the skills and knowledge, don’t bring the past into your world today. Just look at how amazing you are and maybe even write out all the skills you’ve gained and how they have expanded your comfort zone. Perhaps your values have changed, or your perspective of life because everything that happens is for you to learn and grow from.

If you are being challenged at the moment, ask yourself, “what am I to learn from this?” See it as an opportunity to grow your sense of self, your awareness, self-worth and self-love. What is the Universe asking you to step up to, what skill do you need to learn, how are you to love and appreciate yourself just a little bit more. You know what….. you’ve got this! You really do, and if you need a little help to discover what you are to learn and how to support yourself through this situation, please seek professional guidance, that’s what we are here for, but you still have to do the work.

When you move through, and learn through these situations you empower yourself, you become wiser and more responsible for your own health and happiness. You begin to trust yourself and build self-confidence. You can do this; you are doing this and if you need a cry, that will help too.

To all of you that have made it through and grown from your experiences, I congratulate you, well done! To all that are challenged at the moment, reach into your heart and find your self-love, take good care of yourself and stay on the side of love, and love will be on your side.

Please feel free to share this post to someone you know that has done amazing work getting through.

Sending lots of love to all.
