It’s Okay To Say “No, Enough!” Erase The Fear, Erase Your Doubt
One of the most notorious culprits behind putting things on hold is fear. Fear literally harbours your will to live a happier, more fulfilling life. As we age, we experience loss. We also sense the loss of control over our finances, our relationships, and our overall health and well-being, which leads to becoming fearful of making any sudden changes. The key to maintaining your happiness and will to continue building on your ideal life is to make the time to face any of your fears, no matter how big or small, one day at a time. Don’t be afraid to get inspired again, and most importantly, never let yourself feel like the path to a new adventure has been sealed off for good.
What Do You Regret?
Aging brings along much more than just a gradual change in our physical appearance- it changes our outlook on life constantly. But nothing is more harmful to our will to believe in ourselves than the haunting question of, “what if?” Whether it’s a promise that was unfulfilled, or a goal that once seemed so within reach – all of these and more contribute to our unwavering sense of regret about what went wrong. The facts about the rise in anxiety and depression among adults of all ages speak for themselves. The takeaway is simple: despite what has happened, never let it hinder your will to move past it.
Stop Overthinking – And Don’t Forget To Be present!
As we lay in bed, many of us like to take the time to say a prayer before we close our eyes. Some of us that aren’t religious may not pray, but we all have something else in common– we reflect. But this reflecting can often lead to overthinking, (so, so much overthinking). Instead of overthinking a particularly sad or disappointing moment in your life, try remembering this:
Your day may not have been perfect, but don’t take the one hour you spoke with your son or daughter for granted. Don’t forget the stranger on the street who took the time to compliment your beauty. It was so out of the blue, right? Take the time to reflect on their kindness, and think of these moments as gifts. Looking back on what made you happy will ultimately help you conceive how to continue living your best life.
