Times are Not Always Pleasant
Written By Lesallan – September 25, 2023
Hey, everyone. I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. I know times are not always pleasant, and how do people get through them? That is a question I have been asking myself a lot lately. Sometimes, the world falls apart, and we can do nothing about it. However, I do not want to give up hope. I do not want to let the negativity get to me. So, I wrote this blog post to share some things that helped me cope with the hard times. Maybe they can help you too.
First, I try to focus on the positive aspects of my life. I know it sounds cliché, but it works. When I feel overwhelmed by my problems and challenges, I remind myself of what I am grateful for. The people who love me, the opportunities I have, the hobbies I enjoy, the memories I cherish. These are the things that make life worth living. They give me a sense of purpose and happiness. They also help me understand things and realize that not everything is terrible.
Secondly, I try to take care of myself physically and mentally. I know it is tempting to neglect our health and well-being when we are stressed or depressed, but that only makes things worse. We need to treat ourselves with kindness and compassion, especially when we are going through tough times. That means eating well, sleeping enough, exercising regularly, meditating, relaxing, and doing whatever makes us feel good. These are not selfish or indulgent acts but essential for survival and sanity.
Thirdly, I try to reach out to others who can support and understand me. It is hard to ask for help or admit that we are struggling, but we do not have to go through this alone. Some people care about us and want to help us. They can be our family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, or strangers online. They can offer us a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a word of advice, or a hug. They can also share their experiences and insights, making us feel less alone.
These are some of the things that helped me get through the unpleasant times. Of course, they are not magic solutions that can fix everything. Sometimes, we need professional help or medication to deal with more severe issues. Furthermore, sometimes, we need time and patience to heal and recover. Nevertheless, I hope these tips can make your journey easier and brighter. Remember that you are not alone, you are not hopeless, and you are not helpless. You are strong, resilient, and capable of overcoming anything. You need to believe in yourself and keep going.
