Don’t Stay Down

Hi!

I just wanted to create a post for people who may be feeling down right now, or maybe you’re doubting yourself for one reason or another.

Know that you aren’t alone.

Know that you are loved.

Know that it’s okay to be down sometimes- just don’t stay there.

I personally have had some mixed feelings this week. There were some incredible highs: my daughter graduating from high school, finally meeting and making peace with my ex husband’s wife. (She’s actually a sweetheart!)

And there were lows. The graduation itself made me think of my father and how proud he would’ve been to see my daughter walk across the stage. When my ex husband and his wife offered their sincere condolences for his passing- I almost crumbled. It hurts so much that he didn’t get to see that. He was always so proud and supportive of us all.

But I couldn’t stay in that sad place. I had to be present. Of course, that’s not to say that I immediately was happy again, but I knew I couldn’t stay in that sad place.

I thanked them for their condolences, focused on some of the good times with my father and let gratitude for this event take me back to a positive place.

It’s important to process emotions rather than cover them up. Don’t be in a hurry to ‘be okay’ if you genuinely don’t feel that way. It’s also important to know the difference between processing and wallowing. If you get too comfortable in that sad place, you could spiral and make it so much harder to raise your vibration again.

Here are some methods I use to regain positivity: listening to positive affirmations, meditation, journaling, drawing, playing with my dogs, going for a walk or drive.

I really hope that this will help someone.

Until next time; much love. Be blessed and be free!
