When Something Scares You, It Means It's Worth It.










Change, growth,progress, development, steps these things can be scary, can be daunting, and may cause you some unrest, yet it is some of the things that scare us the most that are most worth taking the risk for, that are most worth approaching, confronting and overcoming the fear for, and each little step out of your comfort zone only pushes you further in the direction you wish to be going.

You, your progress, and your growth are all the things worth facing fear for, and the nerves and anxious energy along the way to making these much needed changes and improvements in your life only show you the things that are worth expanding and fighting for.

It's okay to be feeling fear towards change and progress, yet don't allow this sense of fear to prevent you from moving forward and positively impacting your journey; make the active effort to place your need above else, and to influence your journey in the ways that will most benefit you.

Never feel as though asking for help and care makes you a burden to those around you, don't be afraid to seek support and help, and to request that they support you in each change and decision you need to make benefit your journey.

And yes, this is your journey; you know what you need to do for yourself in order to help yourself through it, and though it may be frightening to ask for help and to fight for progress in the right direction never allow anyone else to tell you that your choices are invalid.

Own your emotions and feelings, and don't feel fear to accept them as a part of your life, they are worth accepting and recognizing, defining their presence and working back against them day by day, step by step. You are worth each step.

You are worth the changes, decisions and choices that benefit you, that help you to grow, and that help you overcome certain ascepts of your fear and learn to cope with others.

Do not allow the fear of getting help or helping yourself stop you from those around you, and take each bit of progress you make step by step, moment by moment, and day by day in the journey ahead of you.



One day at a time.

Indeed, you are quite right, the stagnation out of fear is the biggest compromise one has to make when the urge is to give up, which requires a constant resistance and patience. Life, like water moves on, and that gives an adequate metaphorical representation that if the thing is worth fighting for, one ought to achieve success. Beyond the frontiers which are barred by our limited sight lies the freedom to conquer the same fear which has the power to stagnate us. Thank you.

Happiness is Here and Now !

A few ways to practice mindfulness- Choose one of your five senses and focus on it wholly. Perhaps you are slowing down to really taste your food,  observing the smell of many flowers in your garden, or watching the sunrise/set without allowing your mind to wander. Close your eyes (or fix your gaze on an non moving object) and bring your focus to your breath. Inhale and Exhale . Focus on the sensations in your body, and allow wandering thoughts to visit and pass on as you bring your focus back to your breath. If you find it helpful, you can also add a mantra to your breath, such as "Breathe in peace, Exhale chaos." or " breathe in 'I acknowledge' (whatever emotion is at the forefront of your mind), exhale 'I care for' (whatever emotion is on the forefront of your mind.) Run your hands under cold water or hold ice cubes until they melt and focus on the sensation of how it makes your hands feel. One should mindfully participate in an...

Its Okay to cry , the sky does it too !

Its okay to feel sadness and remorse towards the time you've lost to your mental disorder,  and it's okay to be afraid of the fact that you lost time. Yet, one thing rings true : No matter what time you feel you've lost to your mental illness, it was time you spent gaining strength, courage, and wisdom for the road ahead and though you are allowed to feel sadness and mourn that time that mental illness may have taken from your life, also be grateful for that time, in knowing it has brought you to the exact point you need to be at today. You may have missed out on or been overwhelmed by, to feel angry over the cancelled plans and the interruptions of treatment and therapy, to feel remorse towards what your mental disorder has taken from you. AND, you are also allowed to be proud of what the time gave you. You are also allowed to, at the same time as mourning, recognize that your mental illness was just as much as a blessing as it was a curse, as it gave you qualities and ...

If You Are A Little Better Than You Were Yesterday Then That's Enough

Today if you are a little better than you were yesterday, then that's enough. Never believe that you must solve all of your problems at once, that you must be completely recover in a short time or that you are wrong of flawed for continuing to struggle- take small steps each day in the right direction, for the active effort of moving in the right direction is enough to create a gradual impact, one step at a time. Don't hold yourself to the standard that you must take giant steps in order to be successful, take your journey step by step, from going to the grocery by yourself to driving a car after not getting behind the wheel for a couple of years, or even calling a friend you have'nt talked to in a while, it is often the little steps that add up to a great amount in the end, and that ultimately have the most impact upon your journey in the right direction. Don't believe that you have failed or done something wrong if your journey is taking time. Every journey moves a...
