Lift Yourself Up

When life takes you down, do not give up and stay down. You are not the only one; many of us could be in the same situation or even worst so get up and move on for life is not easy, as it is a series of ups and downs …. It does not matter how many times you are down or how long it takes you to go back up for not everyone is the same. Some are slow and some are fast, so get up on your own phase. If you fall again while trying to get up, try again and again. Stop complaining and open your mind by focusing on the present. You are here alive, when some could be suffering health wise. Alive and possibly well, except for your attitude and outlook. Start changing your mindset by being aware of who you are. Reflect on all the negatives and positive experiences you had. Maybe your negative experiences were no fault of your own causing self-pity, shame or rage or your own fault that guilt is eating you up inside. Either way, do not let it keep you down. Let go of the past, stop thinking or talking about the negatives. Bringing them up would not stop the hurt, it would reinforce the pain. Open your heart, forgive the ones who hurt you and take accountability for what you had done and forgive yourself. Letting go of the negative is hard, so while in the process, think of all the positive experiences you had and the people who believed in you, your good traits, talents, capabilities, skills, values, beliefs, actions as well as your imperfections … Being self-aware is knowing your true self, being comfortable in your own skin. It would help you to change your mindset to positivity, help you love and take care of yourself and work on your flaws and maybe, laugh when you goof … Accepting the negative experiences you could not change, changing your mindset from negative to positive, embracing you, expressing gratitude give you resilience, so get up, lift yourself up for whatever knocks you down is usually temporary.
