A lot of the time-- regret, pain, and shame stop us from moving forward in life.
We feel bad for things in our past and we do not feel that we deserve to move forward and enjoy our lives. So because of this, we try not to enjoy life as a means to punish ourselves in a way. We think to ourselves that we deserve to feel bad and we should not enjoy ourselves.
However, it is more than okay to enjoy your life even after you have made mistakes or if you have had terrible things happen to you.
God wants you to move on from your pain and shame and enjoy the world that he has made for us!
Admitting to yourself that things need to change in your life is the first step.
Remember- that if nothing changes- nothing changes!
Admit change is needed. Then prepare yourself mentally for change. Allow yourself to change and heal.
Open your mind and heart to it. Tell yourself that it is okay to move forward and to enjoy yourself in life again.
You may need to get help if need be from a counselor and learn to let go of pain, shame, guilt, regret, and more.
Admit things need to change.
Be open for change.
Work through what is causing you pain and then let go of it.
Then....rewire your thinking in such a way that you are telling yourself daily that you CAN and Will move forward in your life.
Make a move toward change.
Get up- get dressed- and show up in life again and tell yourself that you will enjoy yourself in life again!!!!!
One step at a time. One day at a time.
Seek support.
