When You Are At The End Of Your Rope - It is The Beginning of.....

Do you feel like you are at the end of your rope? 

Are you feeling like you do not have any fight left in you?

Believe it or not, feeling hopeless can be a good place to be!

When we get as low as we think we can go-- the only way to go is up!!
 


So if you are feeling low is spirits and you are losing hope, hang on!

If you are down, get on your knees and reach out to God and pray. Tell Him how you feel and tell Him what your needs are. Pour your heart out to Him. You are never alone. He is a prayer away. Reach out to Him and pray. He loves you and He wants you to have peace in your life. 

Most people who have gotten to a very low point in their life have later experienced the most joy imaginable!



Use this time to grow closer to God and to make positive changes in your life.

Reach out to God and others who can help you. You are not alone and there is always hope for a better tomorrow.

Positive Self-Worth- Where To Get It!

Do you get your self- worth and how you feel about yourself by how others see you? 

Do you start to feel bad about yourself when other people have a low opinion of you?  

Do you base your self-esteem on if you feel rejected by others?

Your self- worth and self- esteem needs to come from YOU and how YOU see yourself, from how others see you. 

What matters is how you see yourself and how God sees you. God loves you and he wants you to know this and to love yourself.

Other people cannot meet your needs that only YOU and God can fulfill!

Learn to love and accept yourself- and if there is something that you do not like about yourself, work on making positive changes....but start loving yourself and valuing who you are!

Be true to yourself and who you are- on what makes YOU- YOU! And.... be proud of who you are. 

Do not base your self- worth on the opinions of others!

 
Have Hope! Renew Health! and...........

Finding Contentment In Being Alone - Learn To Enjoy Time With Yourself

While it is important to have a supportive and social network, it is necessary to first find contentment within yourself.

It is then and only then that you can then be in an emotionally healthy place to be in a functional and close relationship with someone.

You have to love yourself first before you can love others.

You have to respect yourself first before you can demonstrate genuine respect for others. 

Thus, you have to  learn how to enjoy your own company and be content with time spent alone.

Being alone and/ or being single is not an illness or or a disease.


No matter your personal situation, learn to embrace time with yourself.

Revisit your passions, dreams, goals, and interests and start living today with learning how YOU can be content in your own company!

However- if you feel that you are in a crisis with your moods/ depression, etc.- seek help right away!

Seeking Support From Others- The Benefits

I have personally been through a lot of difficult times in my life. The thing that stands out to be the main reason that I was able to get through these difficult times was because of supportive people in my life. These people were placed in my path as I went through my trials and they offered more support, help, and encouragement than I could have ever imagined.

It makes it a lot easier to go through adversity when you have some type of a support system. 

A support person or persons can offer:


A safe environment for personal reflection and sharing 

A place to process personal concerns and worries 

Helpful insight to your questions 

Give a realistic assessment of your goals 

Could provide you with a healthy self-doubt view by presenting other possibilities to your concern 

The sense of enjoyment in working with a group of people who value what you do 

Encourage you to persevere in adversity

Remind you of your goals 

Help motivate you when you are losing hope

Identify your thoughts and feelings

Allow you to socialize and meet people 

Provide opportunities to direct one’s concerns outside of one’s self

Give suggestions that you may have overlooked

If you do not have close friends or family to lean on for support, you can still seek support. Call a pastor. Call a counselor. Seek a free support group. 

You are only alone if you choose to be. There is support and help. Seek it when needed. 

Take action and take the first step.

REACH FOR HELP!!

Also, when you can offer support to someone else in any way, do so. It will mean more to them than you can ever know.
