I keep it real on my blog and I try to be as open with my personal experiences, as I know one or more of you are able to relate and learn somethings from it.
Honestly, this past week has been so stressful. I've had to take on much responsibilities at work, which I don't seem to be handling very well, I guess it didn't help that most of my colleagues were all off sick, thus leaving Sylvia to hold the fort (by Wednesday I was to ready to pull my hair out). I remember being sat at my desk and almost having a nervous break (lool! I can laugh about it now, but boy it was not funny at all), by Friday I was completely exhausted- I was ready to just hang in towel and walk out! (Can you imagine make myself jobless). So it dawned on me that, I can't keep feeling like this, there must be a way to manage these type of situations. Let's be honest there will so many different times at which we will all have breaking point moments! Would it be right for us to just give up or allow ourselves be consumed by it? (I say no, I won't allow myself be consumed by it!). I have come with a few tips on what to do when you've reached your breaking point; 1. Allow Yourself to Feel – Are you angry? Sad? Hurt? Disappointed? Repression and denial of feelings and emotions, while unhealthy, do serve a purpose. Unfortunately, we to want to avoid these emotions, which can actually create a state of dis-ease in the body. Instead of being addressed and let go, that energy is circulated throughout the body, leading to pain and depression. Recognize your emotions and allow yourself to sit with them, experience them, and, ultimately, let them go. 2. Have an Attitude of Gratitude – It could always be worse, and while that is not something you necessarily want to be told by someone else when you are writhing in physical or emotional pain, it is an important distinction to make internally during those particularly demanding times. Taking on an attitude of gratitude, focusing on what you do have instead of what you perceive to be missing, is a powerful and effective way to create happiness. Express gratitude for the people in and components of your life, big and small, to boost bliss and appreciate the abundancearound you. 3. Utilise Social Supports – Social supports are everything, and as human beings, we are social creatures who crave interaction and communion with important others. When I suggest utilising social supports, I mean having trusted individuals in your life, friends or family, who you can confidently turn to in times of crisis. I am grateful for that one friend who checks up on me and constantly motivates me day in day out. My final tip is to always take a break and have a quiet moment to yourself. It also helps to say a prayer, "Dear God, I feel so angry, frustated, confused and overwhelmed, please feel me with you peace and joy. Thank you for my life, and for blessing me, I love you God and I need you today!" - it's that simple. Have a great week and stay blessed. ChiChi Top- H&M | Skirt- Topshop | Heels- ZARA
